God says, “You are adorbs.”

Grandma painted a mountain, a tree, a fence, and roses because she liked them.

A melancholy prophetic poem by Philip Larkin.

I’ve been fascinated by the word hineni for some time. Never knew there was a Leonard Cohen song about it!

When you say, “I love you,” you don’t know what you’re talking about, you don’t have a clue. When you say, “I love you,” it’s manifested in the things you do and the things you don’t do. On a daily basis. Those moments of intimacy that you speak of–there was an agreement that he would receive and an agreement that you would give. And nobody ever spoke it. That’s love. But who knew?

Why hope? And how does perseverance fit?

The beauty of Bryce made us breathless!

A ghost town in a spectacular setting.

Zion was truly awesome!

Our last full day in Gallup, hiking in First Canyon, then the drive to Zion.

We went to two trading posts. Interesting people, scenery, and structures.

A crazy ride to a beautiful, amazing place, Chaco Canyon.

Started the day with some trailer problems but a wonderful day with our friends in God’s beautiful creation.

Our arrival and first day in Gallup.

Wonderful book! Quick read but long lasting words.

Another historical site, bad news about the AC, and Bingo. :)

We went to the center of the world and a historic prison and that’s it—all the sights of Yuma!

The first 2 days of our Retirement Road Trip.

A funny and also deep poem.

So beautiful!
