February 24 - From Texas to Arizona

This morning, we woke early because we had a phone call to make. Our son Greg celebrates his 39th birthday today! This is the first birthday to celebrate with his wife Tara and their new, 2 week old son, Dylan. When we phoned, Greg was just changing a diaper as he got ready for work - quite a different start to the day than any other birthday! What a wonderful early present that new little son has become.
We hit the road by 8:30 driving across west Texas, changing our watches to Mountain time, and enjoying gorgeous blue skies with hills and mountains in the distance. We stopped at the New Mexico Welcome Center for lunch and continued across New Mexico and into eastern Arizona. As we drove, we remembered the other adventures we have had and sites we have visited in this area over the past several years. With horizons so big, we can see looooong trains as they make their way east. We were blessed with another gorgeous sunset this evening. Tomorrow, we drive to Mesa, Arizona and settle there for the next month. We are looking forward to that.
