Boring landscape
Lonely gas station in the middle of nowhere
Long straight way to go home
Trina on the back seat
David becoming quite fuzzy



Only one more day to go, thanks God. Headed through El Paso (Texas), Las Cruces (New Mexico), Deming (New Mexico), Lordsburg (New Mexico) and Tucson (Arizona) to Casa Grande (Arizona) where we are spending the night. No changes in Scenery, just dry and brown and flat. It was nice and warm and here in Arizona about 54 degree, warm after the 20 from a couple of days ago. Chicago, Wisconsin and Minnesota got hit today by that blizzard system, with Chicago dipping, including the wind chill factor, to a chilling -40. That is cold people. Michigan got buried in snow where 12people died because of snow and freezing conditions.
Talked to Michael again today and he told us that he visited with our neighbors and that they had basically no problems with us having animals but expressed concern about the chickens and the goats crossing over onto their properties and ruin their trees and flower beds. We will have to make sure that they understand that we will have our property fenced in and the animals will be in pens. But they seem open to the idea and I have no doubts that David will get them to agree since he is quite charming when he wants to be.
Tomorrow we will arrive in San Diego. I am looking forward to be home though it doesn't feel that homey anymore since most of my nick knacks are packed and the new owners are over there all the time. I will miss that house and my little garden but i do also look forward to my new house and all the possibilities it offers. I am dreading the move though, all the final packing, ordering a moving truck and changing everything to the new address. Phew, we will be busy. Only 3 weeks for all that and also visiting all relatives, friends, doctor appointments, a dentist appointment, hair appointment, Christmas and saying goodbye to every one. We will be hopping!
