Several people from my church gathered this afternoon (in 99 F heat) to go to the Degrazia Gallery. Degrazia was an American painter who studied under Diego Rivera. In 1963, he did a series of paintings of the Stations of the Cross that are only brought out during Lent. We weren’t allowed to take pictures of the artwork, but I got photos of some of the other things around the grounds.

Continue readingThis last week has been surprisingly warm for February, even for Tucson! Our temperatures have been in the 70’s and 80’s. Not so up north I’ve heard…
Continue readingWe made it! We’ve been moving back into our house and it’s late, so I’m going to keep this short.
Continue readingOne more day on the road after this and we’ll be home! Mark can’t wait to get back to his Harley and BACA. I can’t wait to get back to more spacious living!

Continue readingBefore I start writing about today, let me back up a bit. I did finally get through most of the boxes in Dad’s garage last Thursday and then I started focusing on the memorial service. Saturday night, I was up all night working on the slide presentation because I was having technical difficulties. First I tried to do it as slides, but then it stopped letting me add any more after the 13th slide. I had to scrap that and try to set it up as moving slides. I was still working on it when Mom got up at 5:30 in the morning!
Continue readingMark and I were eager to get out of the RV park at the casino this morning. I don’t think this was the case when we were there many years ago, but there were prickly things about the size of pea gravel all over the ground. If we went out with our shoes on, the shoe soles would be covered in them when we got back to the RV. We would try to clean off the soles of our shoes and still, some would get tracked into the RV, and if we stepped on them with bare feet, it was very painful. When Mark had to take Tucson out to do her thing, she would be limping before walking very far. I’m sure that the Grand Sierra Resort is a great place to stay if you’re in the hotel, but I don’t recommend it if you have pets in the RV parking lot.
Continue readingToday I dressed a little cooler than I did yesterday, and wouldn’t you know it, it was only in the 70’s! We also got a little later start this morning than we did yesterday, but fortunately, my sister reminded me that we don’t have to be in Oregon until Wednesday. We were thinking of pushing to get there tomorrow.
