Holiday in Tucson

Thursday night saw us headed south on Iinterstate 10 for a four day weekend with Konrad and Starr.

I spent Friday with Starr in her K-2 classroom, grading papers, giving spelling tests, answering questions, reading instruction for little ones when Starr was busy with another student.  I had fun and felt productive. Since Konrad had Friday-Monday off, he and his dad did some stuff around the house that either took two men to accomplish or needed a little input from the “old man” to complete.

Mornings were nice and cool until about 8:00 am when things started heating up in the desert.  It was nice to spend my morning quiet time out on the patio.  Durning that time and then from the window throughout the day, the hummingbirds entertained as they visited the feeder.

Except for Friday, I walked the multiple foot paths of their community each morning before the sun warmed things up too much.  Sometimes alone, but a couple times with the kids and Karabiner (the grand-dog).

It is so great to have at least some of my kids within a short commute.  I hope to have a repeat soon...especially with the commute being made by the Tucson party!
