Mark made it to our Phoenix home early this afternoon. It was quite a journey. He originally was going to leave Iowa on Saturday but mother nature had other plans. Sunday he finally got off the farm and to Matt's home in Omaha. Mother nature again decided that he should postpone his plans and stayed an extra day at Matt's and left Tuesday morning instead. His travel on Tuesday was good and he was happy he waited that extra day. He drove from Omaha to Moriarty, NM. That is just a few miles from Albuquerque. My best shot in a day's drive from Omaha was Tucumcari, NM and he went another 130+ miles! Wow, I could not have done that! His drive today was uneventful, even through Flagstaff. I am so glad to have him join me here and we look forward to a great winter.
Tonight we skyped with Drew and Kayley and it did make us lonesome for our grandchildren! I wish we could be with them at Christmas but they will have a grand time without us there. Santa sounds like he is going to be good to them.
