This picture evokes the best of memories. This was taken about 6 or 7 years ago somewhere in the southwestern US. There is something about the west, I don't know what it is, but I like it and I knew I would. We drove all the way to California and back, my dad and mom and Daniel and Stella. This trip had been in the making since I was in the second grade at Trenton Elementary School. My teacher, Mrs Tiny Hammond talked to us about her trip out west, the desert, the cacti, the mountains, the Mexican children begging for chicle (gum), the sands and the Sequoia trees. My teacher's description of her experiences started my interest in seeing the West for myself, and about 35 years later it became a reality. Thank you Mrs Tiny. Thank you mom and dad. Thank you Daniel and Stella. It was the perfect trip--full of anticipation, expectancy, adventure, mishaps, discovery. This trip exceeded my expectations and my expectations were high. It would be impossible to repeat it. It couldn't have been done earlier. The time was just right and it will never come again. I thank God for orchestrating our lives so that we could make this trip together, the five of us. Look for more pictures to be added later.
