Clark and I visited here in July '08, but we DROVE (you gotta do it at least once). Not realizing, my right arm was fried from the sun streaming in the van window, and it HURT. So, that put quite a damper on our visit then. It was 120 degrees most days while we were here, too, so it wasn't much fun to be in direct sunlight. When we visited the Grand Canyon, I had my arm all bandaged up for protection. I realize I should have worn sunscreen, but it's too late now!
Bethany is home from the hospital and doing very well. Getting up and down is the most difficult thing, but once she's up, the walking around isn't too painful. One thing I've noticed here, although I thought it was "only in the South" - people are very friendly with smiles and hellos. Oh, nobody's told me their life story in a checkout line yet like in the South, but people are friendly and helpful here. I like.
I'll be flying back home Saturday. I do miss my family and my DAWG, but I am enjoying being here with our daughter and son-in-law.
Life is good.
