IT IS GETTING COLDER THE FURTHER WE TRAVEL!
It was ninety one degrees today at Jojo's.
Our high was in the forties and we will awake to temperatures around 26 degrees in the morning. We are at an altitude over six thousand feet.
Our first sign of colder temperatures was that we were wishing that we were not dressed in shorts and tees. Then, we saw THIS on the horizon!
Today, we traveled three hundred sixty one miles and are in Gallup, New Mexico.
The first thing that I noticed was all the billboards littering the landscape. What a sad site.
It amazes me how each state seems to have it's own personality and beauty.
God's handiwork.
Leaves me breathless
And very grateful for his creation.
And grateful for the friends we have in blogland who have sent so much encouragement, thoughts and prayers.
You have opened our eyes to see the wonders of this experience.....The technology that provided us with the continued care by John's cardiologist even though we were twenty four hundred miles apart.
Thank you...each and every one of you.
God bless each of you and may he enrich each of your lives.
God's plans for each of us are seldom what we expect. So glad you were able to enjoy the beauty of God's creation today. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteYou know Carol, that if you want to make God laugh, just tell Him your plans. I trust his will more than our plans.
DeleteBeautiful Country. We are continuing to pray for John and for traveling mercies for the both of you.
ReplyDeleteIt is Betty. The view changes multiple times in a matter of minutes.
DeleteKeep warm, enjoy the scenery and travel safe.
ReplyDeleteThanks George, the cold is a shock to our system!
DeleteGreat scenery and thoughts:)
ReplyDeleteThank you. We are enjoying this trip. Just wish we had time to stop and visit all the sights we had planned. We will next time.
DeleteThe billboards certainly junk up the view. I also hate all the hotels and structures allowed along the beaches. Travel safe today and keep checking those weather forecasts. High winds are certainly no fun to drive in.
ReplyDeleteYou are right. Lady Bird Johnson had the right idea.
Deletesafe travels to you both today..you have some great views out the windshield..thank you for sharing them!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Will try to have more for you tonight.
DeleteWe have traveled a ton in New Mexico. We love the color and the landscape. If you ever get a chance, travel that state. It has so much to offer. Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteWe have been in both the northern and southern parts of New Mexico and love the entire state.
DeleteThanks for the update. Dig out those long johns. You just may need them. Love you.
ReplyDeleteNo problem. I really meant today's title to be a bit of humor, but I think it concerned more people than those who caught the humor. Love you too.
DeleteGlad it was just the weather that was serious! Sorry you're having to move so fast across country, but you'll really have an appreciation for the diversity of landscape. Hope the nastiness in the Midwest has moved out when you get there. Be safe.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that I concerned you. A bad attempt at humor. From what we read, the midwest has quieted down.
DeleteSorry to hear about the bad news, but John's health should take precedence. Have a safe journey home.
ReplyDeleteYou are right. When we get him "repaired" we can restart our adventures.
DeleteGlad you're keeping your spirits high. Weather has been awful all over the country this year. I think my sister, in New York, is wondering whether they really will have a spring. Seems they go from the dead of winter to 100 degrees in the summer. Happy to hear that you're learning from a lot of people and your own research that a pacemaker will allow you to continue your RVing life. It's just a shame you were so far away...that's the inconvenience and a good part of your anxiety. Keep on keeping' on. We're all waiting for your daily reports. Glad to see you are still enjoying the scenery along the way.
ReplyDeleteMy spirits bounced all over the place for a couple of days, but all is in perspective now. It was just the shock of being a heart issue. I have fought the COPD issue and am on alert for breathing issues that I had not even considered heart. Now, I have two issues to watch.
DeleteThe title made me worried. So glad it didn't have to do with John. But 26 degrees oh goodness and you were so prepared for the warmth of California. Hope your travels continue to be beautiful and easy.

DeleteSherry, I am so sorry that I concerned you. Bad humor on my part. My toes are still cold today, of course I still insist on wearing my Birkenstocks..
You really got our attention with that title! Godspeed as the wireless tether continues to shorten.....
ReplyDeleteThank goodness we are getting closer to home. Taking turns driving seems to be helping John's strength.
DeleteGlad you are surrounded by beauty as you make this quick journey home:)
ReplyDeleteAnd it is beautiful! Just passed a lava field. Photos coming tonight.
DeleteReminds me of the song, "How Great Thou Art".
ReplyDeleteYou are so right! God is so good!
Delete26 and in shorts and T! Oh My! I, too got worried with today's title. Keep on keeping on.
ReplyDeleteWe are keeping on. Sorry I worried you.
DeleteJudy and I have been fortunate to drive across this beautiful country on more than one occasion and are still amazed. I think everyone should make a driving journey at least once.
ReplyDeleteThis is our 4th trip across the U.S......we never stop being humbled by God's handiwork.
