That’s what my Twitter feed tells me. When I see that, I feel behind. It’s been that sort of winter!
Reader BEWARE – you are about to see a whole lot of pictures and not many words while I attempt to get you caught up on where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to. I’ve made a few trips since the first of the year. A couple of excursions to DC, a trip to Phoenix, to Billings and one more scheduled to Colby, KS before the beginning of the 2015 harvest. Of all these trips, the very best one was the trip to Phoenix. This took me away from home one day short of two weeks. But…it was two weeks with Jenna and I would do it all over again if I could. We left Omaha on a very COLD, windy day with anticipation of much warmer temps once we started heading south. The one thing I would change, if I could, would be that Jenna wouldn’t have been suffering from a miserable cold.
Our route took us through the town of Norton, KS. A harvest town. A town that provided lots of memories and warm, fuzzy feelings when we drove through remembering different times that held special memories.
And this is where it got a bit weird. Farm equipment in the city limits of Phoenix, AZ surrounded by palm trees is JUST WEIRD!
The next day was spent moving equipment into the facility that hosted the Commodity Classic trade show and setting up the booth.
And then we had a few days to kill before the show actually got started. So, we took an extended drive one day and then decided to go to the Grand Canyon on another – even though it snowed.
After the show was over, Jenna and I packed up and headed north. We decided not to follow Route 66 because of the snow storm that was moving in. Instead, we opted to head south before we headed north. We decided the extra miles would be better than fighting the snow and ice.
The road we were travelling was only 23 miles from the town of Tombstone. Tombstone was Jenna’s Winslow. We HAD to go. We met the Misener’s there and toured for a couple of hours before getting back in the truck and hitting the road once again.
