I am on another trip. This time, I am in Arizona! I’m here because my friend Diane asked me if I could meet her at the Grand Canyon. And, I said YES!



The last time I saw the Grand Canyon I was nine years old. I had just finished 3rd grade, and my brother had just finished 5th. I remember being so impressed with him because he knew all this “stuff” about the cities and states we traveled through. He had studied American geography and history that school year, and it had really stuck with him. (And he still does read about American history……his latest book was about the Lewis and Clark Expedition.)

So, I’m in Arizona but not at the Grand Canyon yet. I’m in Buckeye. I have joined seven other NOMADS, and we are working on a small church. It needs a little help. We’re updating the wiring and adding overhead fans and changing some light fixtures and re-puttying the fellowship hall windows and caulking and scraping and painting and strengthening the entryway.

I would like to point out that I have yet to touch a paint brush! My job is to caulk and caulk and caulk and talk and……talk……yes, talking does help the caulking! A lot of progress was made today so I might be able to begin painting tomorrow. I hope, I hope, I hope!

I hope ya’ll are all doing OK.

Take care now,
Suzanne
