R&BKing

In 7 days we'll begin our journey across the country.  We've decided to take the southern route. We'll be going through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, with stops in North Carolina and Virginia, then north all the way to New York. 

Do you remember the songs you sang when you were little? Ryan and I had a conversation about this the other day.  Ben had a great song, "Trees are trees, people are people."  My song was "Roller skating, ah ah". Ryan's song was "In that house? Oh no!"

Since Fort Irwin is intensely boring and we're now counting down our days till our move, we have been occupying hours of our time solving crimes with Adrian Monk. We've been learning a lot from him, I am now tempted to touch light poles and Ryan fixes my socks to make sure they're even. We're almost to the last season, perfect timing because we only have a week and a half left here.

Our Halloween celebrating began with carving the pumpkin. We then waited for trick or treaters. We waited all night and still not one came. Ryan said, "we must live in the bad part of town!" Next was the branch Halloween party. You can image how a large number of primary kids loaded up on candy acted!  We contributed to the cupcake walk with our tombstones. Of course it wouldn't be Halloween without dressing up.  We were the Kings!

We attended a baptism where they handed out a program. By the end of the baptism this was the program. Guess who's art work it was?

We had the best "inside date" a few weekends ago. Ryan sent me to the back of the house and I had to stay there for quite some time. Finally I was allowed to come out and see what was going on. Ryan set up a huge tent in the living room. We had snacks, watched Monk and slept under the ceiling!

Picture #1 is the normal scenery of Fort Irwin (which I've shown before). Picture #2 is the big landmark here at Fort Irwin. I finally decided to take a picture of the "rocks." They have shirts and post cards with the big landmark. I guess it beats the normal scenery!
