A solo drive, taking my time to points further north, but instead of going directly there, I’ve diverted along the scenic route and decided to visit Sedona for a short while.

It’s not often I’ve visited the Sedona area and seen the area lightly dusted in snow, quite the treat.

Time to get a little something at the Indian Gardens Store before finishing my task.

Caroline’s lost purse required me to make a day-long drive back to Flagstaff in order to fetch said purse and return it to Phoenix, where it would be of more use to her. The purse was left on the back of a chair in a restaurant, for which I’m at least partly to blame because she set it on the table. And while she and her mother were visiting the lady’s room, I moved it to her chair and she promptly forgot she brought it in with her. Not only did I have a nice scenic early morning drive, but I also left the mother-in-law in Phoenix, allowing for a recuperative quiet drive all by myself – after nearly six weeks of my mother-in-law vacationing with us, this break was well deserved.
