Dirt

Anyone want to head out with me for a wonderful West Texas track meet in a few hours? I just took this picture looking down the road from our front yard. The weather channel says it is blowing 45 to 50 miles per hour with higher gusts. Heavens to Betsy!!

This may be the thickest dust storm we have had yet this spring. Will may break a high jump record with this wind, if he can only see the pit and where to jump through the dirt. ha. I am planning on getting a good exfoliation on my face out there today. I am trying to think of the positives. I don't need to take a shower or fix my hair. All is good.
Have a beautiful day today no matter what your weather.
Blessings. Amy

I enjoy checking in every so often, even if it is to read about the dirt and dust in your life. Hope you are well! Emily is heading to Pepperdine this fall. Not a big surprise.

BTW—I think we are going to see your folks at Bible Lectures. I see Bob Walker out here at Pepperdine every 90 days at board meetings.
