Painting and More Fun...

We have packed it in these first two weekdays. Monday, we put a good afternoon into painting the stage for their new theater which is being converted from the old gym. We put a layer of primer on it, and tomorrow, we'll be painting it all black.

The way our work is lining up this week, we found that the best day to take a day for checking out the area was going to be Tuesday. So in the morning, we headed over to Window Rock, AZ.

We had lunch in Gallup and looked at some of the pawn shops there. Then we went to Pyramid Rock with the goal of making the near 7500 foot summit by sunset. We had just over an hour to do it and they told us the hike was 1.5 hours. So we set out. Scott with his true servant heart caught a ride back to Rehoboth to prepare supper.

The weather here has been strange, but amazing. It's very cold at night, in the teens, and by 11 am in the morning it gets up to the 40's or near 50 (today 51). The sun is so bright and hot that we can walk around without a coat. It's strange to see the red clay mixed with snow.

The views on the way up were awesome!

We were thrilled to make it to the summit by sunset.

Look at the awesome colors on the way down. It got dark and John & I lost the trail once, but waited for our flashlight toting traveling companions and made it safely down.

That is actually a cool painting project. I use to be part of a traveling drama team so I can appreciate the work on the theater.
Would love to have a little of the warmth that you are experiencing. It is sooooo cold her in Michigan. What a gift to be able to see the sun set from the summit. Thinking of you all often.
