Gone Again

After just about a week in YC, we headed south on the first leg of our trip(s) to visit family and see grandchildren born while we were away.  Arizona is the first stop.

Saguaros.

Cactus flowers.

Madera Canyon.

Beautiful Arizona.

Home Again

I cannot believe we have been home for 2 weeks already.  What a busy couple of weeks they have been!  Just as it takes a lot of time and effort to prepare to go out, and to get one set up in the field, there was a lot to do to get back situated after our mission.  For example, Rich had some pending dental work that needed immediate attention, and as his drivers license expired while in El Salvador, there was that to arrange as well.  So that first week was all in CA, getting situated and visiting our family members in CA.

Our sons met us at the bottom of the escalator.
