MWT - Home Sweet Home at Grand Canyon

I never thought I’d get here, but here I am for the fourth summer in a row. Better late than never.

The North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park opened Sunday, May 15th right on schedule. Boy were we busy!

I worked some at the Visitor Center, roved along the Bright Angel Point trail chatting with visitors, and studied my programs to jog the lazy gray matter. Wonderful to access information thought forgotten.

It just doesn’t get any better than this.

And finally Qwest got me hooked up to the DSL I just knew was here. Yippee, I’m back on line! Will catch up with every body soon.

Last day in South Africa

Today, my last day here, I'm back to see the penguins again...

Back to the canyon

It was a great trip to Yarnell. Made it back to the canyon Friday about 6pm to find fall in absolute full swing. And in some cases the Aspen are already turning brown. How sad. This morning it feels more like winter at a cold 36F. Brrrrr. Back to work.

My World Tuesday - Snow place like home

I flew out of Texas today at 4 am and 60 degrees.

Somewhere over either NW Texas or SE New Mexico

About 50 miles north of Phoenix

Heading home from Prescott

Missed everybody and will be catching up soon.

Going Home - My 100th post

Mom & Dad
Every year I try to make a journey to south Texas to visit my parents. I fly out of Phoenix Tuesday and return the following Tuesday. My fight includes about a two hour layover in Houston both ways.

This will be the first time I’ll take my laptop so we’ll see how well WIFI works for me. Once at my folks’ in San Benito I’ll try to find a hotspot. So, maybe I’ll get to keep on blogging.

My family originates from Illinois and Wisconsin. After retirement my parents moved to Arkansas, yet they’d been Good Sam RVers for many years and started spending winters in Texas. Over time they grew tired of driving back and forth so bought a permanent place in San Benito.

After surviving two strokes my Dad has spent the last year in a nursing home. Mom now lives by herself and visits him about every other day. I feel incredibly fortunate to still have my parents in my life, even if we don’t visit frequently. And even though my RV home is where I park it, home will always be at Mom and Dad’s. Although I wish it could be somewhere other than hot and sticky Texas, I'm glad not to have snow.
