Living in Lubbock

Wow, what a transition.  The first day was beautiful, but as expected the wind came up and the cold settled in, however, I must say that this cold isn't as bad as one might think.  We're very thankful for a beautiful park to live in, a nice and straight forward commute to Janie's work and a pretty nice looking bicycle corridor to her work and other nearby places we might like to go.

















The trip here was interesting last Sunday, as we were driving through a sand storm much of the way.  I was thinking that I just got a new K&N air filter and I guess I'd better clean it before we drive anywhere else.  That sand was really in the air.  Here's a picture of the sun at about 5 pm, full sun obscured by the dust.   










Our last evening at St. Francis was a great night, we had lots of friends come over for a campfire and songs in the back yard of the church and in the front yard of our home.  We really miss all our friends already, and we'll make the best of this and look for what God would have us to do while in Lubbock.

I might add that so far Janie really likes her work, and I'm motivated to get back into keeping up with the computer and developing a marketing plan for our music.  We'd like to have more opportunities to play and introduce more people to our path, our music and the strong messages we carry from the places we've been.
