Here are photos from our arrival in Morristown at Doug's where I picked up my car and then from my snowy home...next I'll copy the videos (with any luck) for family. It was, again, lovely and a wonderful time but the best part of any journey other than whomever you venture out with, is returning home.

Blessings to all.

Just a quick note to say hi and wish all a safe and happy new years eve...hope you are spending it with those you love. No pics to upload..took videos today as we left Arkansas, crossed over to TN, and stopped for the night a bit early to avoid the "crazies" out there driving to and from celebrations. We'll be home tomorrow; I'll pick up my car and head home to attend to critters and home. It's been lovely..will have some final pics tomorrow.

Thanks to all who have shared this wonderful journey with us...can't wait to meet my newest great nephew.

Remainder of the pics from lunch, Doug and John, John and me, etc.



We awakened Wednesday to find the temp had risen and we were snow free! Joy!! We got off to a slow start as we were meeting my brother John around noon in Oklahoma City, OK. We visited nearly two hours over lunch, sharing memories and stories. It was difficult to say good bye once again since it had been five years since we were together but we left with promises of a visit this coming Spring. Doug and I headed off across the remainder of OK and crossed into Arkansas, stopping for the night just outside of Ft Smith. Difficult to believe that tomorrow is New Years Eve!
Enjoy the pics....John, myself, and Doug plus pics of the countryside we crossed today.

Tuesday was a lonnnnnng day watching Doug drive across all 300+ miles of New Mexico. We crossed into Texas late in the afternoon and also entered into Central time, stopping for the night in Shamrock, TX. We had thought to make a few possible side trips but were running away from the snow all day. We drove through a few brief snow showers but as of yet are safe. I've called ahead to family to make emergency preparations for the critters at home! Tomorrow we hope to meet with my brother, John, and Saundra in Oklahoma City....not much to share but a few pics of the drive and another of our favorite stops - Petro stations for coffee and "rest" breaks.

Drove from Las Vegas, NV across to Gallup, New Mexico today. We attempted to venture up to the Grand Canyon but the roads were dreadful. We now have a future trip in mind! We made a short trip down the old Route 66 and then back on to I 40. You'll see pics from our trip over Hoover Dam; we were both amazed at the difference since each of us visited years ago. Tonight we are in Gallup, NM and it is FREEZING!
