OCTOBER 10 - ROAD SIDE MEMORIALS

WEDNESDAY

OCTOBER 10 , 2012

 

We drove 270 miles from Santa Fe to Carlsbad, New Mexico

on Wednesday.  It was flat and desolate road.

Russ spotted some Prong Horn Antelope in

two clusters of about five each, but

I was dosing and did not get pictures.

 

The only three pictures I took on Wednesday

were just for the memories and reminders.

 

A WAL-MART store sign

which represents an oasis of plenty

to us these days.

 

Plenty of  parking space for our big rig and truck;

generally, plenty of food to

replenish our produce, dairy and meats;

plenty of miscellaneous merchandise

to meet our other needs

all in one place.

 

The other two pictures

were a reminder of

how precious life is,

and how blessed we are

to have safe travels

every day.

 

 

This reminder was at the entrance

to the Wal-Mart parking lot

in Carlsbad, New Mexico.

 

All I could think was , "there but for the grace of God".

We have seen so many memorials of this sort,

but this is the first for a  

MOM

 

May she rest in Peace.
