Christian Author and Speaker
We packed plenty of warm clothes for our trip to the northwest that year: jeans, sweaters, flannel shirts, fleece lined hoodies. We’d read of warm mornings at the campsite but cool temps in the mountains. Within the week before the trip, we began to observe different weather reports in the areas we planned to visit: a heat wave was taking place
Do you remember when you first heard of Facebook? I heard some women talking. “Are you friends with her?” they inquired of each other. At first, hearing the term friends in this manner was a foreign idea, but it soon caught on,
I post on my Facebook Author’s page every day, most often using photos or Bible verses, or “sayings” that have spoken to me. Sometimes I select the postings days in advance, scheduling them for a later time. After the post is published, I review it, as though I haven’t seen it before.

We could often see Route 66 running parallel to the Interstate. We slipped onto the actual Mother Road as often as we could. And in New Mexico, we had opportunity several times.
Still in Arizona, we continued traveling west on Route 66, literally I-40 at times, but I liked knowing it was as close to the original Mother Road as we could get! We hoped to reach Grants, New Mexico before dark.
You do something – you hear something – you remember something – you experience something – you see something – it sticks with you. You were impressed, touched, stirred.
