03/06/18 - On /26, I got a call from a first cousin (Edna) from Iowa wanting to know if she and  her husband could come for a visit and they would arrive late on Thursday night.  I was so excited but then had to cancel my visit to my friends Diane and Dick in Tubac (south of Tucson).  I then started to get the RV in order.

2/28, I did some cleaning in the RV and got some things done before Edna and Junior arrive. 

3/1, Left Phoenix at 6 30pm and headed for Flagstaff, Arizona to pick up Edna and Junior.  They are my Amish cousin so arrive by train.  I had a little over two hours traveling time.  I got there in plenty of time and then train was late by 20 minutes.  Before the train arrived, I got a phone call and there was another individual on the train that also was trying to get to Phoenix.  Martha had reservations to travel by bus to Phoenix and she learned about an hour earlier there was a problem and the bus was cancelled until the next morning.  She then asked if I had room to take her and I was very concerned about too much luggage since I had forgotten to empty out my trunk.  I told her if we can get everything in, I would be happy to take her.  She had a huge piece of luggage and a smaller one but Edna had several small ones.  We moved things around and put luggage between Edna and Junior in the back and Martha held some of her smaller pieces and we made it.  She had a ride in Phoenix so we met at a gas station.  We got home about 12 30am, got settled in and off to bed.

3/2, I had to get up at 5 45am because I had an ophthalmology consultant to get scheduled for the cataract surgery.  I soon learned that there are many other things that will happen before that schedule will happen.  First was an appointment with the primary care doctor to get an EKG and lab work done and then a schedule for another visual field test.  I got  home, Edna was making some breakfast and we decided that they might know some other snow birds in the area so we planned to go for a visit.  I then called the primary care to make an appointment ASAP since I had no idea how long that was going to take.  I was very lucky and there is a new female physician in the office and they had an appointment at 3pm.  I could not believe it.  We went out for lunch and then I dropped off Edna and Junior so they could visit while I had my doctor's appointment.  Because we had a huge lunch we just kinda snacked for dinner.  Edna loves to put puzzles together so we went to the club house and found a 1000 piece.  We really had a great time putting it together.  Off to bed
