A Late Ten Year Blogaversary...
Morning! Again, I'm overdue for a posting. I really don't set out on a daily basis, intending to not post, it just ends up that way. I also can't believe I've had this blog for ten years!! Where has the time flown off to? My first post is Here ...but I must admit it's been fun. I've gotten to know a lot of people from all around the world. Some of us have remained in contact to this very day and some have gone off into other directions. We've had heartache, laughter, shocks and many passings. The latest is Brenda's (What's Up Down South) grandson Zach, whom she and her late husband, James, had raised. He went swimming last Saturday and swam out too far, trying to rescue a child's inner-tube but was exhausted when trying to make it back to shore. A man tried to find him but to no avail. He was later found...deceased. SO heartbreaking... but when you love so many people and befriend them, even in this virtual world, then you share in all ways. I wouldn't have it any other way...
I took the above photo a few years ago of myself. I NEVER do selfies, but another blogger buddie tagged me...and literally, insisted I play along so, I did. And the bluebonnet shot is several years old. Since our daughter and family moved away, Larry and I have found the "empty nest" syndrome...sucks big time! Yes, Our oldest granddaughter still lives locally but it's just not the same. Those of you that "hear" me, know what I'm talking about. We are still working on getting out of our funk but if wishes were horses...and all that. We have a trip planned to get back out to New Mexico to see friends who live in Angel Fire, NM. Gorgeous country.
Well, I hope this blabby little post sort of catches you all up on my world. Larry and I are doing ok physically...the furrbabies are fine...I'm still working but may be taking my retirement soon. I'll be turning sixty six this Wednesday so I'm thinking it's probably about time. We want to travel and a job seems to be a hindrance to that. I best decide soon!
Enjoy your day people...

Is the Craziness Over Yet? Angel Fire

| Lobby of the St James Hotel in Cimarron, NM and Yes, it's Haunted! |
| Famous guest of the hotel |
| We ventured over to Red River |
| Granddaughter Samantha...Went with her to a doctor's appointment yesterday because of a lump in her breast scare...Thank God in Heaven it is benign.... |
| The goose that laid several eggs... |
THEN...there's the NEW Motor home. Granted, it's nice to have, to roam the countryside without having to stop somewhere to make sandwiches or...well, you know...breaks. Lets just do it this way...List. I love list.
1. Ford V10 chassis...nice...Air conditioner quit cooling...there's a leak in the line so freon? all leaked out.
2. We are in New Mexico at 9800 ft...it's 38 degrees and the furnace stops working. Thank goodness we brought along a plug in heater which really didn't help all that much. Can you say popsicles?
3. Windows wouldn't close all the way on my side...
4. Water leak in the windshield...
5. The levelers wouldn't retract...that's right...wouldn't go back up, leaving us stranded in the RV park for a second night. Thankful for the kindness and help from the KOA park manager! He didn't know us from Adam...pitched us his personal truck keys and said, there's a Walmart down the road...you might be needing groceries??? Wow...just great people.
Called a repairman to get them retracted and headed on back to Waco...The last photo is of Hubby taking it back to the dealership to begin repairs. Gads, what a month...
Did we enjoy ANY of it? Yes...being in the total quietness at Jane and Henry's, looking at the Elk from the veranda...drinking a coffee...not thinking about much...yep, that was nice.
