Benson, AZ ( 1-11-12)

First, a quick update:
We saw the surgeon yesterday and he said my wrist looks great and I can go play for a month and then come back to get more Xrays and hopefully get the cast off.  It still hurts if I try to use my hand, so my frustration level is rising.  The doctor did say I could start walking again, but no  hiking.  He’s going to give me a splint once the cast is off, to protect my arm when I hike.  Sounds good to me.

               So, we are still in Benson.  Most people don’t know where that is, hence the map. We debated moving up to Tucson, but it’s so cheap to stay here, its tough to justify the move. Plus Dave and Nancy are here, so we can hang out, and Paul has access to more tools here so he has started one of his larger projects, building a box to put the dinghy in.

 

This is Dave, Nancy and Paul, taking pictures of the sunset.  It’s so beautiful out here with the mountains in the background.  They came over for dinner and Margaritas one night, but I didn’t get any pictures of that.

The sunset is pretty much 360 degrees all around us.  I didn’t take a picture showing all of it, but here is some of it.  The clouds were beautiful.

There really isn’t much going on here, and I am getting somewhat bored and therefore easily entertained. 

I shouldn’t say there’s nothing going on.   There is plenty to do here, just not much that I consider blog worthy. Tonight a Cowboy Poet is performing.  He’s good enough that he has been on NPR.  Every day at 4 pm there is a social hour, for those days we are feeling social. There are classes I could take, as well.  I have tons of stuff I should be sorting through, like pictures, but eh…..
