Well we got up at 4 am and drove to the Grand Canyon and got there exactly at 5:30 am 3 minutes before the sun rose over the rim.  Awe inspiring!  Jehovah is the best artist and Creator of all things.  with the clouds and the colors of the dirt and deep canyons it was so beautiful.  One of the lovely moments of our life together.
we got back to the Rv and our park and left by 9 or so.  Arizona was beautiful and cooler in the Flagstaff area so it was tollerable. We staid the night in Grants Arizona and left early this am.  All the days are bluring together its hard to remember where we were and when.  However we were both amazed at how beautiful New Mexico is.  It is an over looked state and we both decided it is the most beautiful of deserts.  It was high enough for green to be showing and short stumpy pine trees and flatt mesas and the clouds were unbelievable so soft and fluffy looking floating high up but close enough you felt you could reach up and touch them.  We stoped for coffee and there were native americans all through out the buisness and at the gas pumps.  I think they are a beautiful race and so dignified and as we passed by each person would wish us a good morning.  so this is our favorite state as of now.
we are in Amarillo Tx where everything is Bigger than anything else!  we went to a funny place that has Texas memorablia all over the building, Steer horns everywhere and cow hide table cloths.waitresses dressed as cowgirls, fun and delicious steak...melt in your mouth like butter.
now kevin is messing in the RV to find a way to prevent the motor heat from frying his foot.  It is coming in thru a cover over the engine.  It has been 90 to 100 degrees and then with that on his foot he is roasting!
i am a comfortable pig all the time as i drive the lincoln and as long as i dont push it too hard and keep the air conditioner on low it keeps it from over heating.  i keep thinking of offering to drive the RV but then I see the near misses behind kevins driving with the other semi trucks and chicken out.
We liked the park last night but after we settled in we found out it is right next to trains.  So that kept us awake and up during the night.  now we are in a lovely park in Amarillo Tx...and guess what, after parking and paying we found out we are under the airport flight path!  large planes overhead every half an hour...I think i will take a sleeping pill.
ok thats it for tonight
thank all of you for the emails and texts and phone conversations
we love you and miss you
Kevin and Kathleen
