First I’d like to say a word about my pastor, Nancy Bontempo. She will be leaving in a week for a clinic in Chicago that does a combination of whole body and traditional treatment. I believe she said she’d be there for five days while they have a team of therapists from different specialties examine her and ask her questions about her diet and exercise and mental attitude and such. She will be staying with a friend who has offered to take her back and forth to her appointments, so she doesn’t have that kind of expense to worry about. However, her insurance will only pay for any traditional therapy she gets. She is attempting to raise $50,000 for the rest of her treatment and has started a GoFundMe page: https://www.gofundme.com/f/nancy-bontempo-fighting-breast-cancer?fbclid=IwAR13FnmbqhcqhgqZvqZc98yIDWGHzhHaHIs6gTkNG1REQw2Kri8rjXCojPI. I don’t usually ask if my readers would like to help with things like this, but for her sake, I’ll make an exception. If you could even contribute a dollar or two, it would be a help. Thank you!

Worse than we thought
I haven’t written since Mark got home last Thursday, so let’s just say first of all that Mark and Tucson got home safely. Tucson hasn’t been feeling well the last couple of days, but her nose is still cold and wet so we’re assuming it was something she ate. Continue reading
Heat!
Parting is such sweet sorrow
Mark left at 9:30 this morning headed toward Indiana. I tried to delay him as long as possible so that I could have a little more time with him, but I should have let him go sooner because he didn’t reach his destination until 9:00 our time, 10:00 Eastern time. Thankfully, he took Tucson with him. Continue reading
From home!!!
We had a much shorter drive today and were able to make several stops on the way home. Our excitement mounted as we got into familiar territory. Continue reading
Zzzzz…
I know it seems like I’ve dropped off the face of the earth for the last couple of weeks, but I have a good reason. I’ve been working. The last two weeks, H&R Block has been in peak season. I have been working four-day weeks, but in calculating my hours for the pay period yesterday, I discovered I had worked a little over 99 hours! Continue reading
Leisure time
This has been our first truly leisure weekend in Tucson this year, so I have some pictures to share. Continue reading
A new day dawning!
Monday morning and Mark and I hoped to begin our new adventures here in Arizona. Mark is hoping to start a new branch of his business down here in the winters, and I was hoping to find out which H&R Block office wanted me today. Continue reading
From Tucson, AZ!
It’s raining tonight. Who knew we’d travel all this way without rain until we reached Tucson? Continue reading
From Stockton, CA
No problems with the RV today, but there were a couple things that kept the day from being routine. First of all, we had to give Tucson a trazodone pill to calm her down. It worked. She was fairly quiet all day after it kicked in! Continue reading
