Another email

Hi Chad,

Thanks for your e-mail and for your efforts in setting up the blog, etc. Les and I took a rather circuitous route on the way back to Kentucky. We went shopping down on the Mexican border, stayed a few days in a lodge in the White Mountains in eastern Arizona and enjoyed the cool weather and beauty of the area (especially the Fall colors of aspen), went through New Mexico and the northwestern corners of Texas and Oklahoma, visited the Cimarron National Grasslands in southwestern Kansas, and spent a few days at two wildlife refuges in central Kansas where we saw thousands of migrating waterfowl and shorebirds.

We enjoyed meeting you and Debi, as well as the other participants. Les and I thought that the quality and quantity of food would have caused weight gain for both of us, plus the fact that we skipped our daily walking program. But, I actually lost a couple of pounds and Les stayed even. Go figure!!

Thanks again,

Cheers, Joan of Art and Nature
