Arizona, here we come!!
We entered Arizona under the cover of darkness- destination a condo to take some R and R as we prepare to get Sarah to her new home at the U of Arizona - Tucson and continue on our travels to promote adoption. We enjoyed driving during the night, traveling under the dark sky sensing rocks and sand that captures Arizona. We arrived at the condo, bunked down for the day and decided that laundry needed to be done, NOW!!! We need to spend a day hearing the pleasant sound of a Matag taking care of business. About 1 PM on that day of rest, Hannah had a medical issue that needed to be dealt with at an ER - We traveled on with a Scottsdale Ambulance to the WORLD FAMOUS MAYO CLINIC- Scottsdale. Jeanne and I decided that a possible side benefit to our trip is that we could do a compare and contrast article on Emergency Departments and promptness of service.
After four hours the doctors and the tired parents now felt secure enough to take the precious Hannah to the condo. Laundry remained in need of service:but there is a perspective to be gained!!
On the project , we made multiple contacts with several different papers in Arizona and did not make the dead line so we agreed with the writer to do an article after we return to Minnesota- and discuss some of our perceptions about adoption.
IT turned out that this miscue was beneficial to the process of getting Sarah, our beautiful 19 year old daughter settled at the University of Arizona.. What an honor to be part of this transition!!!
Our Post Card Buddies have been to The Rocky Mountains,they have been to The Great Salt Lake they have been to Six Flags, they have been to The Golden Gate Bridge, the have been to The sands of Death Valley.My guess is that they enjoyed Nebraska best!!! They are truly in our thoughts as we travel across the west.
