So, it went like this:
Day One: Leave Fresno at 7:30 a.m. driving with a sectional couch in the bed of the pick-up.
Drive to Gallup, New Mexico. Can't...go...another...mile! Sleep in hotel.
Day Two: Drive the rest of the way to Abilene to see daughter! Happy moments! Unload sectional
couch to find it fits beautifully in new house! Very tired.
Day Three: Check daughter out of dorm and move her into house she will be renting, most likely, for
the next two years. Enjoy famous Cajun Cone! (the best snow cones EVER!)
~ By the way, it's not only hot...it's that beautiful humid icky stuff. ~
Day Four: Pick up bedroom furniture handed down from graduating Senior to daughter...for free!
Assemble, straighten, and view the beautiful new little bedroom for daughter. Take off for home!
(but not before stopping for one last Cajun Cone for the road!)
Drive to Santa Ana, New Mexico. sleep.
Day Five: Drive, and drive, and drive some more. We had intended to stop again and rest, but once you
are in California, you can't stop. Even 6 more hours looks good when you've already come 18!
We kept driving until we hit home.
It's good to be home. My favorite part? Waking up and finding both children in their beds sleeping...
Blessings!

Glad you made it, though can't believe you whimped out and spent the night in a hotel. Pull off the side of the road and sleep on the couch in the bed of the truck!
What a whirlwind trip! About an hour east of Gallup is a town called "Thoreau" - that's where Terry grew up! Don't forget I have a mom in Lubbock and a sister in Albuquerque if you ever need a place to stay out that way. In fact, I'm about to hop on the Amtrak and venture to NM in just a little bit. Glad your 'babies' are home. Enjoy every minute!
Hi Sandra. I remember your posts about Avery graduating last year. Well, my time has come as my son will graduate in a few days.
We leave for Oklahoma Christian on Friday for a tryout with the OC Baseball team.
Take care.
