While touring the Sand Dunes National Monument near Alamagordo, NM we stopped to watch small children slide down the sand dunes which you see in the background. Asking permission to take their photos we talked to their mothers. Debbie who is holding her little boy is an Air Force wife whose husband is stationed at Holloman Air Force base. After 3 years she claims that she is "getting used to desert life" but it's a far cry from her home in Minot, North Dakota. Her friend Jennie, a pastor's wife, on her left is visiting Debbie from her home in Minot. It seemed like a great union for the two women and their children who played happily on the dunes as we talked. The little guy didn't have too much to say for himself!
