We had our first really cloudy and cool day today. But, after speaking with our families in Washington, we were thankful to be here. In eastern Washington, it's already snowing and on the coast it's about to snow. If we could package up the sunshine, we would send each of you a big package for Christmas.


We are near the Superstition Mountains and have done very little sight seeing. Doug has been getting some work done and I have been working on the computer.


But, we took a ride into the desert in the late afternoon and caught the sunset on our way back. Everything is green and beautiful, but the roads are dusty.


The sky is filled with all kinds of wonderous things. We love the hot air balloons and their whooshing sounds as they fill and rise.



We also saw this hang glider drifting on the currents.

As you can tell, we love it here. Although Doug is a little disappointed that he hasn't seen a rattlesnake yet!
