Left in Tucson

It was with truly a heavy heart that Jim and I said our tearful good-byes to Tucson on Wednesday before Thanksgiving 2016, as our U-Haul truck headed out of town and onto I-10 for the two-day drive through New Mexico and Texas to our new home base in Sherwood AR, part of the Little Rock AR metro area. While traveling by truck may have slowed the journey, it afforded us more time to savor the clear weather and light traffic through Dallas on Thanksgiving Day.  We arrived in North Little Rock late in the evening on Thanksgiving Day, having enjoyed a traditional turkey dinner at Cracker Barrel in Weatherford, TX.  So glad that Cracker Barrel was opened for us and the hundreds who also chose to join us at the Weatherford CB for Thanksgiving dinner. Nine years ago, when I arrived in Tucson with all my worldly belongings from central New Jersey to join Jim on a new life adventure, I was filled more with excitement than trepidation.  Sure, I had vacationed in AZ and visited Jim in Tucson m
