Ok, been awhile since I had some free time to update — I know you all are just dying to find out what exciting stuff I’ve been up to….. Right? Well here goes…..
Finally arrived in NM. Sure is good to visit with the folks. Things tend to get a little tense around here because of the situation, but its all-good right??
So far we have…..
Visited the Gila Cliff Dwellings (major fun we all enjoyed the spectacular views, ride was a little trying though….)
Hiked Gomez Peak: didn’t quite make it all the way, DD forgot to pack shoes so we ended up buying her some tennies, which (since they were brand new) gave her nasty blisters that made it impossible for her to finish. Was beautiful but had to practically run to keep up with my dad — aren’t you supposed to slow down once you hit 70???
Took the kids to the swimming pool and movies — not very exciting but the kids all enjoyed it immensely. Saw Herbie Fully Loaded — very good. Even though Lindsay Lohan is doing some weird stuff personally right now, I still like her as an actress.
Visited Mother and Sister in Law in Albuquerque. That was very enjoyable. Went to Sizzling Summer fest, the Pueblo Indian Cultural Center and explored Old town. Good shopping and got some great pics of the Indian dancers. Very cool. Ate lots of good New Mexican food, especially in Truth or Consequences where we stopped for sopaipillas both on the way up and the way back…… muahhaahhhaahha…………
Now we are back in Silver, today I plan on: working on our trip to AZ, working on Dad’s computer
and doing laundry ( I know, how can I stand the excitement????)
So all in all a pretty good trip so far…. hopefully will continue in this vein <saying quick prayer to the saint for travelers>.
I miss the hubby and the animals, and even my own place, but love seeing the “rents” and family. New Mexico is so beautiful, can’t wait till we can call it home.
Until then, just have to visit and make the most of it.
