I don’t normally write on the days I work because, really, how exciting can it be in a tax office? Not exactly something to write home about. Today was the exception. Continue reading

Mission San Xavier del Bac
This morning as Mark and I were leaving our RV park to go to church, a whole family of Native Americans walked in front of us. When they passed and we were driving down San Xavier (pronounced Ha-vee-AIR) Rd., we kept passing small groups of people walking toward the mission. The mission is about two miles away from where we live. Continue reading
Tubac, AZ
This morning it was my turn to pick a church to attend, so I picked one that was recommended by an old friend of mine… Continue reading
Desert flora
I have been fascinated by the many different types of cacti I’ve seen since we’ve been here. Today I only worked half a day and took a taxi home (more about that later), so I decided to walk around Mission View RV Resort and do some photographing… Continue reading

Training
I packed a lunch and went to the H&R Block office this morning at 9:00, bound and determined I was going to finish the online training I still needed to do. It took me almost all day, but I am now trained! Continue reading
A day of rest
This morning, Mark wanted to stay home and work on his motorcycle. I went to the “church” that meets here in the park. Continue reading
From Tucson, AZ
We’re here! Thank you to those of you who were praying for safety for our trip. I had a training to get to at 1:00 today, so we felt a little rushed. We left Phoenix at 8:50 am. The temperature was 49°. Remember me saying I didn’t think I was going to need a sweater until I got back to Wisconsin? I’m re-thinking that! The temperature got up into the 70’s this afternoon, but when I came out of my training it was cooler and more comfortable. Nights in the desert are colder, so I’m not putting my sweaters away yet.

From Phoenix, AZ
Last night I learned that there is a training I need to attend tomorrow at 1:00 pm, so we pushed today to get to Phoenix. We left Wheeler Ridge this morning at 9:05 am. The temperature was 59°. We try to avoid Los Angeles as much as possible even in the best of times, so today we came up with our own route to I-10. Continue reading
From Wheeler Ridge, CA
We drove in a haze today, literally. We left Galt at 9:30 am and the temperature was 52°. It got quite warm the further south we drove. Wheeler Ridge is just south of the junction of I-5 and Hwy 99, north of Los Angeles. We arrived at the truck stop here around 3:30 pm in 70° weather. I have a feeling I won’t be wearing sweaters again until we get back up to Wisconsin! Here are today’s pictures: Continue reading
