There’s something to be said for living in a recreational vehicle and getting a visual treat such as what we received this evening.<\/p>\n

Our retirement has brought us to a new lifestyle. It’s a bit more cramped than what we have experienced. My wife, Toby the Puppy and I are spending our evenings in our fifth wheel. We’re in our second Amarillo, Texas, location.<\/p>\n

We vacated the first place right after Christmas; we ventured to North Texas to celebrate the holiday with our granddaughter and her parents, then returned to another RV park near Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport.<\/p>\n

This view is from our RV picture window. We saw the sun set in the west and set the sky ablaze as it sank below the horizon.<\/p>\n

I’ve mentioned already on this blog about how God blessed the Texas Panhandle with a huge sky in exchange for tall timber and mountains.<\/p>\n

I won’t rehash those thoughts.<\/p>\n

However, our retirement life in this location has treated us to some spectacular days end sights … and some equally glorious beginning<\/em> of days.<\/p>\n

The sunset today was particularly gratifying, when you consider the bone-chilling days we’ve endured in this part of the world. At least we have avoided the terrible snow\/ice\/sleet that has plagued much of the rest of the nation.<\/p>\n

Today was a special day, made that way by the spectacular sight of the sun sinking slowly in the west.<\/p>\n

Let’s do this again tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n
