WOW !!!


Teri and I took a trip to Tucson and Sierra Vista on Monday. Forget that third picture, I got it in there by mistake and can't get it out. Anyway, we drove downtown to one of the state buildings.
Went over to get my substitute teaching certificate. Could have mailed it but would have taken longer. We got there a little after 9 am and we were the only ones in the office. They looked at my papers and college transcripts then said, "60 bux". that was it. We were in and out in 5 minutes. Unusual for a state run office, I thought. We then got some directions from the lady and headed out to Michael's and Lowe's. Did not find what we really needed and headed out of town as fast as we got there. Tucson is a pretty neat town. One of the pictures shows us heading down a street and looking at this gigantic mountain. The picture just does not do it justice. Woops, the picture is not there. I am having trouble uploading this morning. Let me see if I can get it up. Hang on. Yea, it is number one now. That was an awesome sight. That mountain is several miles away.
We ran down to Sierra Vista from Tucson. We have some GMC friends there. They showed us around town and took us out to eat. We failed to snap any photos there. Very pretty town just 20 miles north of the border. Most folks are pretty well off and are retired there.
Those round rocks that you see are on interstate 10 at about 5,000 feet. They are just west of Wilcox. Teri says they are something from a volcano many years ago. They just sit there. Many of them look like they could fall right on the hiway. Must have some kind of glue holding them that I could not see.

This photo is of Mt. Graham from about 70 miles away. We could see the snow cap. There is also an observatory on top. We could even see it. This was as we were coming north out of Sierra Vista.
























Look at these rocks, just sitting here next to the interstate.


















Well, that is about it I rekon. I am going to head out and visit with an elederly gentleman that I met at Walmart a couple weeks back. He lives about 5 miles from here. He was raised in Pocahantus, Ar. not far from us in Mo. We sat on the bench together waiting for our wives. So, hope you enjoyed the ride over to Tucson and back yesterday with us. Come on back when you get time. We may be working on the kitchen but always have time to visit with old friends. Dan
