Adjustments in a Drier Climate

We've been in Arizona for six weeks now and Fiona seems to be having a challenge adjusting to the drier climate. I checked one day last week and the humidity in our old home town of Roseville California was 80% whereas here in Mesa it was 18%. That's a huge difference! You should see what happens [...]

Ducks in the Pond Behind the Library in Mesa

Yesterday we took Fiona to the library again. She had to return those 20 books so she could get 20 more.

Behind the library here in Mesa is a pond with ducks. Nearby is a park and even a small observatory. We'll have to go back to see about that observatory.

Enjoy the pictures of Fiona!

Hole in the Rock at Papago Park in Phoenix Arizona

Today our hosts, Terry and Virgie Wilson, took us to see the Hole in the Rock at Papago Park in Phoenix Arizona. Since Fiona is home schooled, it was a field trip for her as well. We had a lot of fun climbing up to the hole in the rock and back down.

After we ate our [...]

3-Week Itch

Writing music always pulls emotions up closer to the surface. Weather changes make me happy. Or sad. Depends on what changes and how. Listening to my older daughter's music is always emotional.

But really, I think what I'm feeling today is the 3-week itch.

We've noticed as we travel that when we land somewhere for a while, at [...]

Seven Weeks in Arizona

We're settling in at the Wilson's here in Arizona. We've been here a week now and have six more to go. And we're loving it! Right now I'm sitting outside listening to the waterfall running into the pool and Fiona's enjoying some outdoor time in the sun.

We've known the Wilson's for seven year. We met when [...]

Arizona Windmills

The first time we saw these windmills it was sunset; created quite an other-worldly experience. Mid-day, they're more mechanical and sciencey than ethereal and [...]

Fun in Phoenix

We had a great stay with the Wilson's in Phoenix over the weekend. Joel was able to play music Sunday evening with Terry and his friends. Fiona helped Terry's wife make cookies for the road on Monday. When we left early Monday morning we saw a beautiful sunrise. At a rest area, we found a 'home [...]

Thank You Terry and Virgie

Thank you Terry and Virgie for making us feel so welcome in your home. We are looking forward to coming back in January/February and spending more time with you both. Joel will enjoy helping Terry work on his next book as well.

Fiona will enjoy the cookies on the [...]

Swimming is Fiona's P.E. for Homeschooling Today

Fiona is homeschooled and needed something to do today for P.E. Fortunately, the Wilson's have a pool. Fiona did a lot of swimming when she was very little since we lived in apartments with pools until she was 2. However she hasn't done much swimming in the past 4 years. Periodically she has been able to [...]

We're Almost There

We leave the day after tomorrow - finally! We've been going non-stop for over four weeks preparing for our nomadic life. I'm so glad we're almost there - ready to drive away. We need a nice long drive to unwind and let go of all the stress!

Today and tomorrow we finish getting things ready. James and [...]
