Final Gas Stop
To let you know just how hot it is out here (111 degrees in Thousand Palms, CA), I got a whopping 19 mpg between my last gas stop and this one!

Final Day of Driving
It's 10:00 am in Tucson and after a better night's sleep but a still yucky head, I'm going home! See you there! Well, not really, but you know what I mean!
What A Day!
Other than the actual day of Mom’s surgery, Friday was my longest day. After about 7 hours on the road, I arrived in Benson, AZ around 3:30 pm, confirmed Aunt Margaret was at home and then drove the 30 miles or so south to Sierra Vista. The picture you see here is she and Uncle […]
On To A Fascinating Meeting
Last night’s sleep was restless for some reason. A head cold is trying to take root, so that’s nasty and unhelpful! I am packed and walking out the door at 10:00 am CDT. I’ll drive about 425 miles to Sierra Vista, AZ, where Great-Aunt Margaret and her husband, Dominick, live. I am really looking forward […]

A Day To Contemplate
I use the above for the title to today’s post because it’s what I am studying as I prepare for Sunday’s message. We are completing the series I’ve been teaching on Sabbath this Sunday. God is amazing to me … how He orders things and puts you in places (sometimes geographical, but sometimes emotional, and […]
A Rainy Day In Texas
After a late night arrival and a good night’s sleep, it’s now been a rainy day here in Texas. The thunder I was hoping to experience has been somewhat common throughout the day, and I do love it! I am currently writing from what my parents call my “second office” whenever I visit them. That […]
