Dear Maia and Isaac,

I got home last Saturday but have been overwhelmed with home, work, and coming on a business trip to Atlanta Georgia.  In the last week, I have been to Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Texas, and Utah!  I like to travel, but it is a bit too much!

We woke-up Saturday morning at the campground – we were the only campers.  Now, that is weird.  The sun gets so hot, so early in the 4-corners region that we went hiking before I packed-up the tent.  It was pretty early, and I was fortunate that there was cloud cover for Maizzy so we could hike a bit longer.

It was pretty in the early morning.  I think it is probably the earliest that we have hiked it.  Maizzy slept and Kachina chased lizards.  Sazi just looked at the scenery.  I thought how odd it was that all three dogs could hike with me last September when we were here.  Now, I don’t know if Sazi or Maizzy will ever be able to do that much on their own, again.  😦

It was a good end to the week.  Someplace close to home but also far enough away that it is a change of scenery. There is something about ancient cultures that make life’s worries seem less important.

I wish it had been a little cooler the last few days, but we adapted.  When we got home there was a big storm happening that knocked the neighbor’s tree down on their car.  It was cool and wet.  We hadn’t felt that for a while.

I miss you bunches!

Love, Grandma Hartt
