On the road

Oh dear, my pictures are posting oddly again. Well, here we are on the road. We visited Mike's brother Jeff and his wife Pam first. They are expecting their first baby soon. I think this is only the 3rd time we have all been together since we got married. We all look a little rough because we had been swimming. Well, I'll admit it - I've been looking rough for about 2 weeks. But things are improving, you'll see.

Hello from the Tebbano's in New Mexico. We pretty much invited ourselves to their home and they were more than gracious. We even got to attend worship with them on Sunday morning. I was really encouraged by the gospel message in Hosea from Patrick's Sunday school class.

Karen these are those mountains I was telling you about. This is what they look like up close.

But this is how huge they are. I don't see how this happened. Enormous mountains of boulders. I don't see how they just don't all tumble off. There aren't even an "watch for falling rock" signs."

We also stayed with John and Allyn Tock and didn't get a single picture. John took the day off and we, almost literally, sat on the couch all day and visited. We got up for meals and to swim in the evening. It was so relaxing. It was also 100+ degrees - so doing too much more than that you would break a sweat anyway.

Thank you all for all your hospitality along the way. You made a very long trip enjoyable.
