Day 14 - A little about our trip


Hello to all my followers. I hope I give you something good to read. I have to learn again how to do this.

Great.. I just bumped a key and erased all I had written. So I will start again !!

With the car packed to the brim, leaving a little bed on top of everything for Molly, we left Dexter on the morning of Jan 1st. It was 9 below. The roads were good though. We got to Des Moines and the Speirs home about noon. Terri and Bob had lunch ready. They are such wonderful hosts. We left Des Moines about 8 am. on Wed.

We spent the 2nd night in Oklahoma City. Actually the whole trip was uneventful. We just enjoyed the scenery.
Big Springs TX is where we were for the 3ed night. I didn't remember just how big Texas is. Seemed like were were never going to get threw it. West Texas was all oil wells and cotton fields.

We took a longer route as there was possible snow in Northern New Mexico and the Flagstaff AZ area. Mel said no more snow so he just stayed on I-35 all the way to Ft Worth then West on 20 & 10

Night 4 was in Benson AZ. After a good nights sleep we headed for Tucson and Green Valley. We had a short visit with our friends Jackie & Don.

ahhhh... finally warmer weather. We got to Brenda late afternoon and an invite for supper at friends Cliff and Verona.
Mel hooked up our water and elec first then on to their place. They are friends from home and live in the same park.

Only our suitcases were unpacked that first night here and the bed felt so good.

I will go on with our first week here on my next blog.

I hope your all well and safe. I heard about all the storms. Weather has been perfect here. Maybe a bit windier than I like but temps around 65 to 70

Take care, God Bless
hugs
