Because We Can

With John and Judy leaving this morning it was a time for saying goodbye, but also a time for exchanging books. It was after they were gone that Linda said to me, "You know that Bill Bryson book?" "Yes, it was really good" I replied. "Well, you're going to laugh at me just as you did reading that book."

Superstition Mountain rises up in front of us, and as the sun sets it turns red. Temperatures in the 70's and scenery like this, wha...
