ahhhhh warmth

Today I took a walk in 72 degree weather. That's +72 degrees NOT -72 degrees. It was very nice. Obviously I did make it to sunny Arizona. We had an excellent flight, we arrived 40 mins early!! And I didn't need a jacket walking off the plane!

I've been taking it easy and following orders to get healthy. I got to see a bit of the countryside yesterday when Kathy went out to run some errands. It was neat to see some cactus, I don't remember seeing those before in my travels. But the scenery is similar to what Brent's home town looks like and that was unexpected, I thought I'd see more bare sand. But there was lots and lots of brush. And we can see mountains and that's a nice change to break up the horizon.

Today we've stuck close to home and we took the dogs for a walk. Kathy's puppy is curing me of all my puppitis. I asked Brent if I could have a puppy a month ago and he said no. And now I remember why he said no! They take a lot of ENERGY!!!! She's really sweet and very bright and a lot of fun, and the best part is that she takes naps every few hours in her crate!!!

It looks like we're going to Mexico next week, I'm still on the fence about that one! Does that follow my orders to get healthy? The real problem is that I'm just nervous doing it, it seems risky because all you ever hear is negative news about border crossings!! So if I survive, I'll report back on that experience! It's a day trip, Mexico is about two hours from here. Kathy tells me it's safe...........

In the meantime I'll enjoy sunny (safe) Arizona and let you know how that goes.
