Today is the 1st Friday of September. By now most children have returned to school. Vacations are over, and we’ve all settled into whatever our usual routine might be. It’s also a good time to think about others.

There’s something about September that makes me feel withdrawn. Not in a bad way, not frightened or sad, just quiet inside. I know soon the leaves will fall to the ground and the evening air will have that slightly smoky scent of fires burning.

Our last night away from home was spent in Bullhead City, Arizona. The Colorado River is the natural border between Arizona and the casinos on the Nevada side. It’s hot in this part of the country. Insanely hot. As you can see, by 7 pm it’s beginning to cool down.

Hubby is great at finding side trips that he knows Kiddo and I would enjoy. On our return home, we spent one night in Socorro, New Mexico. It’s a tiny little community of less than 10,000 people in the Rio Grande Valley. Yet this tiny place is filled with interesting history.
