About That Tucson Monsoon Season (July 3 - 9)

Dear Family and Friends,
We are now in Tucson, after a two day drive from Dallas! West Texas is huge!!

It was hard to leave family and friends in Dallas. We had to say goodbye to our son Rob and his family and our dear friend, Becky. The day before we left we got to spend an afternoon with her son, Michael, wife Traci and grandson, Grayson. Thank you for letting us cool off in your pool. Bear loved his swim. I knew Michael when he was 2 years old and we were based at Laughlin AFB in Del Rio, Texas. This was in the early seventies.

Our Tucson days have been very busy for Roger. He is in the middle of quarterly reviews with Michael. Roger will do this one more time in October before he truly retires.

Michael and daughter-in-law, Bridget have graciously allowed us to live with them for the two week period of reviews. Bear gets to have fun with Dexter, their English Bulldog. Bear is enjoying long walks or runs in the morning in the desert environment. This has to be done very early in the morning as the temps are in the 100's by the afternoon. Fortunately the late afternoons are cooled by the monsoon season.

The following pics show our great time at Becky's son's home in Dallas.

This week finds us in Tucson. We head back to Missouri on Saturday. Great news, the window on the Tour has been replaced!  Thank you so much for reading the blog. Roger and I appreciate your interest in our travels.
