Today we got up early so we could walk. Mighty cold out there this morning. The wind was blowing and I bravely went out without a coat just a sweatshirt. I about froze to death, the walk back to the trailer was better, I was warmed up from the walk and the wind was at [...]

Gallup or bust

November 16th, 2007 · No Comments

Time on the rez is either fast or slow. We either get lots done or sometimes we seem to get nothing worthwhile done. Driving to Farmington to pick up an order at the bishop’s storehouse was a full day and we enjoyed all aspects of it. We tried a navajo road out that cut off [...]

Anyone with a weak stomach would [...]

Home on the Rez

November 4th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Today we began with cereal and two mile walk to the post office and our study time.  I cut Charlee’s hair, it looks interesting, but he is shedding and his type of dog doesn’t shed.  Go figure.  We had a baptism here across the parking lot.  The Chinle Elders have been working with a sister [...]
