Ahhhhhhhh!!! Home again!! I am so excited to be back home (although I think I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS TIRED OF ALL THAT DRIVING!!!!!).
My own bed, my own back yard..... I do miss the sweet touch of Lynda, the kind smile of Jenny, the playful way Nathan had when we ran together, the feel of the wet sand under my paws, sleeping on the deck under the Arizona stars, the vastness of the Redwoods, the cool of the Oregon mountains and the moist flavor of the Subway oven roasted chicken breast!!!!! Not to mention being with Carol and Barney 24/7!!!! I haven't really let Carol get too far away from me since we landed Sunday, but she did have to go to Central Market on Monday to get food and she brought me some pretty special treats when she returned!!
All in all, I think I have changed some....I've learned to listen and obey better and I eat when told to or I might not have another chance for awhile!!
Barney went right back to work and found everything just as he had left it!! Carol got busy with unpacking and washing and calling all her friends to let them know we were back in Texas!!
I was happy to see Connie and Katie (our friends from across the street).
So, I hope they got all that traveling stuff out of their system for awhile....and I think I will just stretch out on my bed and nap......gee, I wish they would quiet down.....what could they be talking about.....sounds like they are excited about something else.....OH- NO! they are talking about the NEXT ROAD TRIP...something about October....going to New England...for the foliage...to see Lynda and Stuart....then to see Maureen in Kentucky...WOW I better get rested up for this....it will be here before you know it!! East coast here we come!!
Thanks for being part of our incredible journey....check in with us from time to time for more summer time adventures here in Texas and before you know it.........ROADTRIP-2007 New England!!!! signing out Action Jackson!!!

Tonight is our last night at a motel! in Vega, Texas of all places!!! Don't get me wrong-I have loved traveling all over the place, I just didn't like all the traveling!!!
We left Sedona yesterday and arrived in Gallup, NM about 7:30-we didn't have to go that far, so dinner was sandwiches and more chicken for me-this new batch is real tasty!!
I loved being at Carolyn and Dave's home in Cornville(we arrived there behind Lynda, Stuart, Nancy and Frank) after driving down from the Grand Canyon. Lynda was especially nice (of course she missed little Bella who was back in New York with Angie) and she petted me alot and talked real sweet to me-what a gentle touch she has!! No wonder she and Carol have been friends for so long, they have been catching up on everything.
The house was real nice and open-it reminded me of being at Terry's house in Big Bend-alot of dirt and cactus-they even had these stickers that I learned real fast to stay away from!!! (I have gotten to be a pro at peeing on rocks).I liked the deck most of all, it was about 6 feet high and faced west-OH MY GOODNESS the sunsets were spectacular!!! I enjoyed laying real close to the edge and watching Carol freak out!!!
At night, Carol, Barney and I slept on the air mattress we brought from Oregon( I enjoyed it when we were at Nathan's, so I was excited to see it being blown up again).
The next day we went into the town of Sedona and walked around taking pictures of all the fascinating red rock formations and we hiked to a vortex area-I had to stay in the car but Carol came back real fast-she said Lynda hiked all the way up and sat in the middle of everything-she said she felt wonderful!! We went to a nice outdoor cafe and ate lunch -I got to sit at the table again-I ate a whole chicken breast! They must of been as full as I was because everyone was quiet on the way back to Cornville.
Our last day there was spent driving to the town of Prescott (we drove through a great artist town called Jerome, but we didn't get to stop). They all went to the old Prescott hotel and Saloon to eat lunch (I had to stay in the car this time-poo) and it must of been pretty good because they all had to walk around alot more afterwards!! Nice city park though-all shady-and full of dogs!!
When we arrived back at Cornville, Carolyn had arrived from Phoenix with her dog Hubi-he was nice enough, but he was only a pup and I have really outgrown all that "puppy playing" stuff-so I hid in the car until the next day when we left about 11:00. I watched as everyone hugged and kissed each other and OH the picture taking started again-I didn't think we would ever get on the road!! I settled myself into my crate for a long quiet nap and before I knew it they were hauling all their stuff into another motel room and it was all starting over again!!!
Carol keeps saying we are going home but I will believe it when I see it-supposed to be tomorrow sometime.
I really don't know where home is anymore-this whole adventure has been very mysterious to me. Maybe this is how life is now-I don't know what to expect anymore. So, I have started eating every time they do, because I have learned if I don't it will be a long time before I get another chance, that pretty girls really love to pet cute, cuddly white dogs and I always get a bath on Friday!! I guess that is enough to know-eating, loving and being clean!!
I'll sign off on my blog once the adventure is finished tomorrow-it has been fun-hope you had a good time too.........love you all ------Action Jackson on the road to home!!!

Sorry you had to wait till afternoon to read about the Grand Canyon but Carol and Barney and their old and new friends were all up late eating and visiting. I was getting so much attention that I didn't care how late it was!! I ate the best chicken I have had on this whole trip last night and a restful night (although everyone in this inn was up early to see the sunrise on the canyon).
We will be leaving the inn and joining everyone else about noon, we will take another drive and probably alot more "jumping out of the car and clicking the camera" will occur.
Then we will all caravan (they even have a silver van like ours!!) back to our accommodations in Sedona where I hear we will stay until Friday, when we leave-AHHHH! my own backyard!! and my own bed!! This has been an incredible adventure but all this driving is sure hard on a pup!!
I hear there are two pups at the Sedona house I will be meeting-I am really looking forward to some company of my own!! I have a few of my "special treats" left so I can share and create a sense of "goodwill".
This will be my last entry for awhile as we do not Internet connections till Friday when we will be in Gallop, NM at the motel, headed home-HOME has a nice sound to it!!
Until then, I am off to be enlightened by the surroundings of enchanting Sedona-Ola-Jack
