Heard from Jacob just now. They're about an hour from the California border, making good time. Took a dog-leg North off of I-40 and went to the Grand Canyon, which was an excellent idea. Might as well enjoy the journey. Jake's said it's been fun to see the terrain change, seeing the land turn into, what he called, Cowboy Country. Love that he's experiencing these things for the first time, and with someone who's been there, and is experienced on the road. God answered that prayer in a unique way.
At home, however, we just do chickens and homey things. :) Oldest daughter was upset about something earlier today, and I felt for her. Went out for some Chicken Zen afterwards to chill. Works every time.
About our daughter---she has a serious astigmatism in her left eye and it's worsened since her last eye exam. Has been to two eye doctors to get help. They sort of dismiss her, not knowing how to correct the problem, and treat her like she's imagining things. Blurriness is blurriness, no matter how you slice it. Her next plan is to go to the eyecare school downtown, hoping that the teachers and students can help her. I've got astigmatisms in both eyes, and have never had her problem. She's worn contacts for years, and is trying to get a prescription for glasses and contacts. The 'script doesn't fix it, so back to square one.
Anyway, sitting with my chickens is generally a very restful time. Highly recommended. Are we cozy, or what?
