Christmas Letter from the Munks:
We were blessed with good weather through out the trip, even the snow in Canada wasn't troubling. We had perfect weather once we got out of Canada, all the way to Arizona, where we met lots of rain. This is the 11th wettest for October on record for AZ. and things are greener than we expected in and around Tucson.
One side trip took us to Lenore ID, where we stayed with Doug and Janet Boyer (Doug was my boss at the E.R. Print shop and church friends). While there, Low and behold, Becky and Hal Tucker drove 3+ hours to meet up with us at Doug and Janets. Becky & I worked together for Doug. Even before that, I enjoyed their son and daughter in my first grade class . Seeing them all was the treat of a life time, for sure. Then we spent a day in Mountain Home ID. to visit a mining friend and discovered Michael Bowser, another friend in the same area and had coffee with him. We sat in church together, and he even shovelded snow off our house roof once.
We are living in an unfurnished apartment in Tucson. We have airbeds, folding chairs and tables, no tv, but computers and their problems are keeping us busy. Laundry is down stairs. It's sort of like camping in luxury with full kitchen and bathroom indoors, even!! NICE.
Our address on Saddlebrook Ranch will be in Feb.: 61820 E Happy Jack Trail; Oracle, AZ 85623.
This song, words by Becky Tucker for Carol to sing as she traveled: They'll be coming down the Alcan when they come, (sing twice); They'll be racing with the snow, and no more ten below, (repeat first line.) Carol added: They'll be shoveling no more snow and No more lawn to mow, (repeat first line.)
This song: words by Carol: Oh give me a home between Phoenix and Tombstone, where the cougars and badgers all play, where prickly pear grows with tall suaraughs (saw-war-os) and the skies are bright sunny all day.
Love from Old Alaskans and New Arizonans,
Bob and Carol
(Their complete letter with photos is on the bulletin board outside Pastor's office. Carol tells me that even though they are not in their new home yet, the mailing address can be used now.)
