There will come a time…..

 So for today

There will come a time when memories are the most important thing in your life. I am not predicting an end, just that I have reached that point.  I needed to do something,  ,,,,,,    so I started a fire in the fire-pit.  I sat and just stared into the fire.  You may have done this with a fire, a waterfall or water cascade. Your mind sorta washes out of the present, and the past becomes clearer.

I saw beautiful pastoral sites I remember looking down from mountains at beautiful farms. I remembered the beautiful desert lands around Gila Bend.  Then I laughed at myself at a memory.  WE had decided to spend a few weeks wandering the desert.  Then the builder in me came out as I saw a new home going up in Gila Bend. It was ready for the roof and I saw that they were going to install an old style ‘Tile Roof!’ Excitedly I said to Sherry, “they will be putting that roof on in the next day or two, I have got to come and watch!” I had never seen this done.

As a builder in NC I know that installing the roof is almost the #1 priority, if you are slow rain is going to ruin a lot of dedicated work, so you get it done ASAP!

I am sure this is not the Gila Bend area, most likely Southern Utah. (but deserty anyway)

You live and learn, we were there near a month and still no roof (nor rain). It finally hit me in the month of January in Gila, you MIGHT get .25 inches of rain. LOL You can about get that in NC in a heavy frost. LOL LOL

At least I was smiling as my fire died,

As I sit here, still no get up and go, I still read you guys when I can and YES I do appreciate your comments, thoughts, prayers and concerns.,
