partial passenger

One way to Arizona via NW and Skywest, both operated by Delta, got me safely to Phoenix last Wednesday. By Friday noon, I was behind the wheel of the Toyota leaving Mesa with Mom and Dad. The decision was made to return to Minnesota to deal with Mother's malady. She is feeling OK and made the trip with no problem.

Driving north out of Mesa was a beautiful journey! Such beauty in the desert as it turns into mountainous terrain. The craggy rocks and variety of cactus growing was fasinating! As we made our way east into NM, the winds picked up, the sun was setting and the landscape was beautifully lit up. The dust from the wind was piled up like sand near the door to a store I was entering---the color was a deep terra cotta.

Two time zones later and back in my condo I'm tired and need to do some laundry. It's fun to be gone, but better to be home.


Quote for the day from Daniel L. Reardon;

In the long run the pessimist may be proved right, but the optimist has a better time on the trip.


have a great day!
