Breeze and sunshine

After a rainy, cool,weekend, we finally have the sun today, with a stiff breeze which makes it cool on the skin but bright for the heart. Today began a new work week and I thought I would include a few pics so you could see where we are and what we are doing. This week is one of the highlight weeks as we put on a supper for the students and they share what God has been doing in their lives and provide us with an evening of spanish music. It is always an enjoyable evening. I am also going to see a Christmas house on Wed so will be sure to include pics of that later. H. is not going :) He figures he lives in one of those and doesn't need to go and visit one!! We feel far removed from the Canadian winter as we hear of snow and bad roads. We miss all of you but not the former!!!

BAck in the cool

We enjoyed two days of 80 ish weather but are back to the cold weather. Tonight is foggy, cold and dreary. Howard has been drywalling this week and I am content in the quilt room. We were out for supper with a whack of friends tonight so that was great. We went to a barbeque place that was yummy. Howard had to come home for pie:) We are not missing the cold but are missing our friends and family.

Freezing in Texas

Week one of work has been accomplished. I promise the next blog will have some pics. Today is the coldest day since we have been here. I may actually have to wear a jacket! H. has gone off today on a ranch tour that he has been wanting to see. I am going grocery shopping and finding a pair of runners so it is just that kind of day.

Howard has been busy renovating a house on campus and I made my first quilt top which included music notes. We are getting a little more acclimatized and don't feel quite as exhausted as we did when we first arrived. The sun is supposed to peak out tomorrow and I am ready!!! It amazes me how a little rain turns everything green!

We are off to enjoy our first weekend. Blessings to all of you.

Rain in Texas

It hasn't rained for three months and hasn't stopped since we have arrived!!!. They should be thanking us. Hopefully it won't be this way all the time we are here! It is cool but we are still enjoying our friends and the jobs that we are able to accomplish. Music is in full swing and so we are enjoying being part of that. My guitar is acting up so much that I may actually have to go and get it fixed! We are tired, I think the different location has something to do with that!!. Blessings on all of you.

Almost there

Hey friends, We are almost at our destination in southern Texas. We had a blowout tire today so have to wait and get a new spare tomorrow morning. The weather was clear and beautiful but is still cool. Not as cool as Alberta but not bikini weather ahhhhhhhhhhhhh what a thought!!! We were really tired by the time we arrived at our destination today. Only a few more hours until we get to Edinburgh.

Cheerio

South of the storms

In case you are wondering, we are south of the storms. Although it is not bathing weather, we had some rain today but the sun is trying to shine. We are tiling our friend's kitchen so that is keeping us out of mischief. I am going shopping tomorrow just because!!!

Arizona for a bit

We arrived in Arizona around noon to spend a few days with our dear friends who have a roping arena here. We came through heavy rain in Oregon and Northern Calf. and then hit the winds. Just east of Bakersfield which was a dust driven town, we lost our awning. Every tried to roll up one of those things in hurricane winds. We gave up and cut it off!! We were amazed as a man stopped on the freeway to give us a hand, complete with tools and the necessary screws we needed to fix it. We are so blessed. We are content to be here now in 70 degree weather to enjoy friendship. I am off to tidy the 5th wheel and set up our home. Love to all

On the Road again

After enjoying seeing in the new Year with special friends, we were on the road again as we take the long way to Texas. We spent part of a day in Oregon with the Hammers and were reminded that true kindred spirits can be away a long time from each other yet just pick up right where they left off. It was a shock to see how the kids have grown up but so fun to see the wonderful young people they have turned out to be.

We carried on through breathtaking country as we enjoyed the rest of Oregon. We stopped for the night just into CA to 41 degrees!!!! Hope it gets a little warmer from here. Our plans have changed a bit as we are heading to Buckeye, AZ first and going to Yuma a bit later before we head to Texas for the rest of our journey.

The roads have been great so far and for that we give thanks.

We will keep you posted.
