We left Tucson, with hugs all around, about 7:45 am and got onto the I-10 about 8:30 heading East. There was construction at various spots along the way.The ride through Arizona and New Mexico had about the same desert scenery. It would be something one could get used to, cactus, low bushes and sand. We saw several swirling sand tornado-type funnels across the wide, flat, open plains. Such expanse, as far as the eye could see in many places, especially when we hit Texas. There were many trains, some a mile long or more, parallel to the highway.
The first part of the trip the girls and I packaged up our prayer cards to send to our supporting churches. We stopped in a town about noon to mail a bunch of them; that took about an hour for the clerk to weigh and price everything, and about $100 to mail. There are still more to go.
Welcome to TexasThe drive to Abilene took 12 hours. We forgot we had to go through two time zones, so when we finally got to Terry’s house, it was after 10:30 p.m. About an hour later, we all crashed. It will probably be our longest day on the road this entire trip.
