Petrified Forest

 

For me growing up in PA. This sign is wrong, as you look at the pictures, see if you can figure it out!

 

Which one is Petrified?

And here?

Merrill counting the rings. Do you think that works for Petrified wood?

The Park Road is 28 miles long, with 10 stop along the way. Some have hiking trails and picnic areas. We did not stop at all of them. The next post is of Painted Desert which was one of the stops.

 

Did you figure out what is wrong with the sign?

 Where is the forest?

Winslow, AZ

Do you remember the "Eagles" song "Taking It Easy"? Well about 35+ years ago we had a Green Ford T- Tag (It lived up to it's name Fix Or Repair Daily). But the one time Dad took the side off so now we had a flat bed ford and  a song "Taking It Easy", so now I would drive it (when it would run).

Boy, I would turn up the 8-track player and go to town. I never knew there really was a town called Winslow, AZ.

Now in 2012 I finally make it to Winslow, Arizona.

Somethings just take time to come together or find all the pieces.

 

 

Wonder if it was every green!

Running a Little Behind

Sorry  this one won't have any pictures!
Mark and I are having some heavy heart with family members back in PA. We are praying for a MIRACLE! Yes we do believe miracles do happen. The Lord led us to a book we have been studying(just Mark and I) When You Need a Miracle...How to Ask God for the Impossible by Linda Evans Shepherd. Please join us praying for a Miracle!

In two week we are flying back to PA. We are not sure what we are to do, what we are to say, so please pray for us. That it would be God's words come out of your months and that His will be done not ours. Please pray that harden hearts be soften. Please pray against the enemy, that stronghold be broken. Thank you for your prayer support!

Please keep praying for protection. We are seeing sn_ _ _s just about every day. Here is how God has been answering your prayers. The other night we were walking. We were about 3/4 done. I look down and saw something I didn't want to see, I jump, scream, hop, ran, and I'm not sure what else. But I knew God was in control because the on;y thing I remember is there was a chipmunk in the rattlesnakes mouth. So I knew he could not hurt me. You never know how God is going to answer your prayers.

Navajo Nation Fair

Mark and I found out the Navajo Nation Fair isn't like most fairs. There is more on the outside of the fair then inside as you will see with the pictures. First, a little about the fair. It is held in Window Rock, AZ which is the capitol of Navajo Nation. This year was its 66th year. It is about a week long. We are not going to the parade which was on Saturday (you will see from the pictures why and the road closes at 6:00 AM). We went with Merrill on Friday.

The fair is known for Jumbo Smoked Turkey Legs!

One guy let Mark get a picture so you could see!

Everyone we told we were going to the Navajo Nation Fair said about getting a huge turkey leg or seeing people walking around eating a huge turkey leg, and we said "What?" now we know!

For about 4-5 miles, (in two states, Window Rock is right on the border of New Mexico) both sides of the road. And this is for the parade, and this was Friday morning.

Right along the major highway!

In the fair they do have the fair things like rides, animals (mostly sheep), vendor's, and food.

Some different things schedule were powwow, wild horse race, fry bread contest, etc.

Some of these were selling sweet corn, fry bread, snow cones, pop (we are on the west side of the Mississippi, soda for those of you on the east side)

It was very interesting and we hope to go next year. We would have stayed longer and walked around on the outside but of all things it started to rain.

But for my family we all know the second weekend in September, 95% of the time it rains.
