TRAVELING ACROSS THE COUNTRY 12/30/2008

Today we crossed the Mississippi at Memphis. I was surprised to discover how much I still enjoy the drive from Va. to NM. Even in January it is lovely --- and so varied. Tomorrow we'll have to cross the wide expanse of TX, not all of which is so beautiful. However, there IS beauty in the western landscape, too.We've already been treated to two beautiful sunsets and look forward to many more once we arrive in Las Cruces.

Already I'm missing home and friends, though. Is it possible to be two places you like at the same time? Thank goodness some of our friends will be coming to see us so that will be a special treat. Family, too!

We are so grateful that the weather has been superb. January travel can be "iffy" but so far it has been gorgeous for the entire 1100 miles we've traveled. Hope our good fortune will last another two days.Our New Year's celebration will be a little different this year but we do plan to find a way to have a little celebration tomorrow night. The real celebration will be our arrival at our temporary home on New Year's Day. We plan to go to La Posta for a Mexican meal that night. Mmmmm!
