So yeah, my younger daughter graduated nursing college in New Mexico with honors. Two degrees.

Mollie is a rock star!

I love her so much.

It seems like just the other day and a few million dollars ago, she graduated from regular college.

So I got to drive through three very hot, very dry states.

Notice how I am squinting in all these selfies.

I am not a hot weather person.

But you do what you gotta do, right?

So you enjoy the adventure. Hello, lizard.

And of course you try to make friends along the way.

Seriously, I can’t see a lonely horse standing in a field without seeing if I can pull over and meet them.
