NOTE: I figured out how to fix the pictures for easy viewing. Click the cursor on the first pic, it will enlarge and moving the cursor the the upper right will give you a “next”option.

We finally arrived at Chris ans Lisa’s new home on Thursday afternoon around 1:00. The trip was long and we got here very tired. After the first night in Atlanta, we were just short of our destination goal every night so on Wednesday we pushed and drove 13 hours. We wanted to get into Bisbee early in the day - time to relax and spend time with unloading the truck.

Now to the drive… After Texas, I developed a keen understanding of exactly why Thelma and Louise chose the “exit” they did. Good thing there was not cliff in my path.

Through “The Lone Star State” all one sees on I 20 are wind farms

and oil rigs

and, of course, the dessert

Once into New Mexico and Arizona there was a noticeable difference - mountains… big, rocky, snow capped mountains.

Been trying to help Lisa and Chris get settled in a little. The bedroom for the girls is all ready - they arrive in Tuscon at 11:30 tonight. Some of the clothes are unpacked. We’ll be taking care of the rest when we can. I can’t wait to see their excitement in the morning. This last month must have been really hard for them. This is the front yard of the house that they are coming “home” to.

Everything in the yard can hurt you! Seems like nothing grows without a needle of some length or width sticking out of it.

This is their view from the front door…

What you can’t see in the yard (good thing!) are the javalinas, the jack rabbits, the coyotte or any of the creepy, crawly, slimy things. The javalinas come during the night and feast on the prickly pears.

Will add more later about Bisbee which is very interesting and the surrounding mountains, copper mines, border patrol agents, etc. Till then…
