field trip and flu

believe it or not, n and i went on a field trip the other weekend. it was way too hot for him, but it was cool to finally get to take him on a little adventure. a very nice elderly park worker at pecos national historical park came out to the car since n couldn't get out at the visitor's center and issued him a lifetime permanent disability pass for all national parks. isn't that neat? well, it would only be better if he could get healed and we could tour the country and pay our fees, but this is a nice perk for those with limitations. this is the same place meago and i went.

it's monsoon season and i climbed up one of the site's old trash mounds and found some pretty remarkable pottery unearthed. i have never found any with red paint so that was exciting. even though i naughtily went off trail, i still left the pottery there for others to enjoy. that's the legal thing to do, eh.

i can't say enough about the colors here. it's like standing in a painting.

this is the road to our house. i am so thankful when i turn onto it. i always have to roll all the windows down at this point and let all that good air rush in. although i also try to concentrate on not running over all those adorable, jet-black stink bugs that so determinedly cross the road with their butts tugging behind them like cargo. why do they do it?! don't they communicate or observe patterns!? i will ask God someday...

this is my man. he got hot and cooled himself down. today he has the flu which he hasn't had forever, so we are praying for a miraculous deliverance from whatever has hit him. thanks to those who are fervently praying with me.

1Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to their prayers...
