And so it begins.....

The University of New Mexico, where Sandra works, had Spring Break last week, so she took three days off. An extra long weekend, hot sunny weather in Phoenix, the Cubs were playing on Sunday... It all added up to our first road-trip of 2007. Amazing! It was only the second full weekend in March and we kicked off our touring season!

We really enjoyed ourselves: indulging in some great conversation (yes, we still do that after all these years), over-indulging at our favorite restaurant in Scottsdale, lounging by a pool, walking in the parks, and managing to get into a sold-out baseball game for free! (Well, we had to pay for parking, and the hot dog and cup of beer we shared cost the same as two lawn tickets would have.)

Honestly, the best part of the weekend, though, was that we had great conversations with both Shaina and Karl over the phone while we were at the game. What a tremendous blessing!
