Mark and I went to the weekly breakfast at church this morning so I ate French toast with syrup, bacon, a banana and a thin slice of cantaloupe, and had a glass of orange juice. I was stoked for my bicycle ride this morning… Continue reading
Mark and I again agreed to meet at the second light today because I didn’t feel I’d done very well yesterday. Continue reading
So many of you congratulated me on reaching the first stoplight on my bicycle yesterday that I feel compelled to briefly tell you about my attempt to ride to the second stoplight this morning. As I said before, it was mostly downhill to the first stoplight, but not so to the second stoplight. I had to do more pedaling and go over a few humps. I was tired by the time I caught up with Mark ten minutes after he arrived at our meeting place. I told him I’ll meet him there again tomorrow and perhaps the rest of the week until I get stronger. My legs felt like rubber when I got off my bike. I’ll get better, but I need to take it slowly at first.
Several of you have commented on my plan to bicycle to work. This morning I headed off early to bike to the first stoplight. It felt like it was eight or ten blocks from where we live, but it may have been less. I didn’t count. Continue reading

It’s raining tonight. Who knew we’d travel all this way without rain until we reached Tucson? Continue reading
We spent a long, hard day driving today. We had hoped to be able to make it to Blythe, CA on the border with Arizona, but by the time we got to Palm Springs, we were just glad to be able to find a place to stay! Continue reading

We did something this morning we haven’t particularly done before. We actually planned to leave late! Continue reading
We finally made it here. We arrived around noon and then Mark tried to get everything set up. For some reason, our electrical keeps tripping the breaker, so we will need to use the generator in the RV until Mark can find the parts to fix it. We also need to get another hose so we can hook up to water. We are just really happy to have landed, and the family has been contacting us to welcome us back. Since I wasn’t able to show pictures from yesterday, I’ll include some of those today. Continue reading
