The Arizona Branch

The Holt Family (Plus One) after Lunch at Jason's Deli
Here's the lovely branch of the family out here in Arizona: the Holt Family (plus one)!

Truthfully, that's a major reason I accepted the assignment down here -- the opportunity for free travel to visit family! When I heard that there was this short-term job down in Tucson, I jumped at it, not really caring what the job entailed. The fact that it's a lab-monkey, playing-with-hardware kind of job is a bonus.

I didn't get a chance to go down and visit on Saturday due to work, but went down for church on Sunday and then for lunch at Jason's Deli afterward. The picture above was taken right after lunch. Eric is the tall guy on the left - Braelyn's boyfriend. Brason out front holding the drink. Then Jeanne and Brendon.

After lunch, we went to visit (and take communion to) a very nice older couple, Ellen and Stan Scott, who entertained us for quite a while with hilarious stories (especially Stan, who was in both the Air Force and the Navy!).

Then it was down to J&B's house so I could do a quick load of laundry before we went to their Bible Study group, which was delightful and yummy (it's also dinner!).

All in all, a very fulfilling and tiring day, after which it was time to head back to the hotel in time to Skype with the family.

And then sleep the sleep of the exhausted.
