51 Hours

In 51 hours I drove from Travis AFB, CA to Meridian, MS. I stopped for gas and to stretch my legs. The only other stop was in Moriarty, NM for 14 hours to sleep and eat.

I saw many beautiful things as well as strange road signs. Well I'm sure they are not strange for the locals.

I do not have time to list them all. Here are a few:
Watch for rattlesnakes
Watch for falling rocks
Warning elavation 5000 feet
Warning do not pick up hitch hikers

I have never had a desire to travel. Now after this journey, 51 Hours, driving for 37 hours and stopping for gas, sleep, & food for the other 14 hours I am so ready to load the car and hit the road.

When I arrived home I told Alex about this abandoned town in New Mexico. Broken down buildings is all that was left of it. There was a small church that looked mostly intact. The town was very small and although there was no way to know what the population was I knew it was never more than 500 people. I wanted to stop and take pictures but I knew being alone it was not safe. The town was Cuervo, NM. I have researched a little since being home and found that others did stop to take pictures. I am going to post a few from their pictures.

I now have a bucket list and going back to this town is on it. A few others will be traveling Route 66 across the USA and Highway 1 in California.

I will be posting pics in the coming days of my journry. I hope you enjoy them. Remember the Cuervo, NM pictures are borrowed, all others are taken by me.

Great Day

I had a great day today. We worked in the yard then I cooked supper. My beautiful sister came over and ate with us.

Awesome

I went to Walmart today and was reminded how AWESOME God is. When I walked in there was an elderly gentleman entering on a powered chair. I smiled and nodded at him. As I walked on he said hello. I stopped and went over to him. "How are you today?" I said. He said, "I am very good my birthday is tomorrow." I asked how old he will be and he said 86.

I see sooooo many bitter people out there that is was refreshing to have met this wonderful man.

Thank you God! I raise my hands in worship. You are Awesome!

Summer Time

Woo hoo! Time for fun in the sun, grilling out, and the best part WATER!

FYI

Any one that really knows me knows I am a numbers freak. So..... At 8am Russell Christian Academy begins the first day of the last five weeks of school. Five weeks.... Sigh! That's all the separates a 8th grader and a 9th grader.... A 13 year old and a 14 year old. Just cant believe my baby will be 14 years old in 5 weeks or a 9th grader.

My Daddy

My Daddy is sick so pray for him too.

Prayer Request

One of my families dearest friends has an appointment tomorrow with an eye specialist. This appointment is very important because it will be to see if he can have surgery to save his eye sight. He is so special to my family. PLEASE SAY A PRAYER FOR BRYAN TENNYSON!

Specticles

Well I finally got my glasses today after nearly 3 weeks. I AM NOT a.fan of progressive lens. I will be nice but I would really like to give that salesman a piece of my mind. I'm sure they work fine for far sighted people but not for near sighted.

Secret Shopping

So I have taken the test and I am now a qualified Secret Shopper. Now crossing my fingers for multiple offers.

I figure since I LOVE fashion and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to shop I might as well get paid for it :)

Yummy To My Tummy

I am sitting outside in the shade eating lunch. It is so peaceful to listen to the birds, smell the grass, and watch the little critters scurry around. Thank you Lord for this blessed day.

P.S. The lunch menu was..... Tuna on wheat pita bread, dried apple slices, and a bottle of water.

Lost, Tired, or Weary?

Take a look at this picture I posted.

Title

I almost forgot... I am sure some of you might be trying to figure out where my title came from. The Bucks should be apparent which is short for Buckalew's. My oldest has CRYSTAL blue eyes and my nickname for him is Blue. My youngest has sky blue eyes and my nickname for him is Sky. Put it all together and you get Bucks Blue Sky.
