Well, I wrote last night and then the computer decided it didn't want to cooperate so it disappeared!
We left last Friday from Phoenix and drove to Albuerqueque...on the way to Albuerqueque we heard weather reports of the snows in this area....so on Saturday morning before we unhooked we checked the road conditions..... I-40 was closed from outside of Santa Rosa to the Texas line..... we decided to stay another day in Alb. and leave this am.... we are glad we did as we got to go downtown to "Old Town" Albuerqueque and walk around at the old buildings and shops..... such a neat area.
We found a Chili's for dinner and came home..... watching the games on TV....
This morning we left bright and early and wondered how much snow we would get into but the roads were fantastic! They were all clear and not much snow to speak of at all...only in the higher hills and ditches were small amounts...... But the wind began to blow when we were almost to Amarillo. Boy did it blow! Gusts to about 47mph..... The RV park we are at is very nice and we have a huge space...... It's called the Amarillo RV Ranch...... nice nice park!
We will leave here early in the morning and get to Texoma around noon we hope.....we have about 350 miles to go..... the wind is supposed to blow again tomorrow so we will want to get an early start. Stay tuned! The traffic on this highway is alot of truckers and RV's..... mostly from Minnesota!
So that about catches us up for this time and its time to relax awhile.....
Until next time!

Our final day at work
It has been so long since I last wrote and now our time here is just about to end. Last week Erin/Ryan and family were here and we had a fantastic time with them. We went to the zoo and they went to a couple of Spring training baseball games. We swam almost every day and just enjoyed spending time with them. The week of course went by way too quickly and they left early Thursday am for home. They arrived home on Friday afternoon..tired and ready to get out of the car I'm sure!
Saturday our friends, Bob and Jackie and us drove to Sedona for the day. The day was beautiful for a drive and we had a wonderful time. Sedona is just beautiful and the scenery and weather was just perfect!
Sunday after church we met Bob/Jackie at Cracker Barrel for breakfast. Then we came home and Jackie and I went to see the performance of "Cavalia"....it was amazing! It was a Cirque DelSol only they used horses to tell the story of the relationship of man and horse throughout time..... They used 49 horses throughout the show.... it was a wonderful 2 hour performance! Also that afternoon we had a workkamper gathering and of course the wind blew like crazy..so by the time I got home most people were heading home also..... too bad we didn't have more of them throughout the season..... it was a fun time!
We are finished working now and have gotten things lined out here for our trip back to Ks. We had the carpets cleaned and have things put away. Our plans were to leave on Thursday morning but the weather doesn't look the best for traveling tomorrow so we are staying another day and try to leave on Friday instead. Stay tuned!
We had a great time being with our friends here and are going to miss them next winter! We have decided not to come back to this park next winter.... we are going to try out south Texas again .... stay tuned for that!
So that about catches things up for now...the weather is great and we are going to eat lunch and then see what we need to finish up here for the day.... We have plans with our friends this evening for dinner.....
Until next time

Windy Monday in Arizona
We had a nice visit with our friends from across the valley on Sat. We drove up to Wickenburg and went to the Museum ..... that is such a nice museum. We hope to see them again in Coffeyville in Oct.
Sunday after church we had a couple of errands to run and then came home. We worked around here and I made some S'mores brownies to take to a Ks. potluck over at a friends park model. There were about 6 couples and we had a nice time with brats and the other "stuff".....
Today after work I went to the Sewing room until about noon. I am working on some placemats that I got the fabric kit in Alaska. They are going together pretty quickly. Bill and I made a run to the post office and then stopped for lunch at a pizza place called Streets of New York. It was excellent pizza!
This afternoon I had some things to do here and then cook for the potluck we went to around 4ish.... it was called "1st Street Potluck"..... the whole 1st street was invited and there were more people there we hadn't met. We only knew about 4-5 couples there.
This evening I have worked on making a quilt on a computer program I have for the sewing room. I hadn't worked on it for quite a while so it took a while to get it to come back to me ... but I think I am on the way to have it done....
So that is about it for now.... Bill is just hanging around here and keeping things going while I am running about !:) haha!!!
Until next time!

Saturday morning
Well, the week has gone by and we are warp speed down to the end..... we left last Friday morning to spend the weekend in Yuma with Charlotte and Andy. We had a great time with them. After lunch last Friday we went to the "Flea Market"..... they call it the swap meet..... it was a great flea market and some very nice things.... of course some things came home with us..... Friday evening we went to Paradise Casino for dinner and came home and played Joker. We left for our motel which was across the frontage road...so it was nice and close by.The Motel was nice and clean....
Saturday morning we went out for breakfast and then to Mexico for our meds. Funny how Algondones looked just about like Progresso ..south of Texas..... we got our meds we needed and then walked around a few blocks before heading back across the border. It only took us about 45 minutes to get across and the line was beginning to get pretty long. Saturday afternoon we relaxed awhile in our motel then went out for dinner and ice cream! :) We played Joker again.....
Sunday morning, Andy, Bill and I went back to the flea market to get some fresh produce and a couple of other things we thought we couldn't live without. Heading home around 1 we got back here around 3ish......
Monday, I sewed while Bill worked . I started working on some placemats I bought in Alaska..... another project going to maybe get done while here! I counted up and I have completed 6 things down here this winter....
Tuesday morning after work I ran to Walmart to get some meds and a few groceries. After lunch I went to ceramics and Bill had an appt. with the truck. Tuesday late afternoon we ran a couple of more errands and then went to our favorite Mexican restaurant to eat dinner.
Wednesday, I went back to the sewing room and stayed for our noon meeting. Bill had someone come and work on the trailer brakes to check them and do something else so he was busy too. It was cooler and so we didn't go swimming as we usually do on Wednesday's. We went out to eat dinner with Bob/Jackie before our Joker night on Wed. night.
Thursday, I had to go back to Walmart to get some meds that wasn't ready the other day. When I got home I went with our neighbor to find the Bealls Outlet place. We found a couple of things each and came home. Darrin and Christina came for "Beer Butt Chicken" for dinner.... It was nice to have them come for the evening....
Friday right after work Jackie, Angela and I went to another RV park that was having a Vendor Fair....It was at Happy Trails RV Park and they had a HUGE vendor market...some really nice things and tons of people..... the park is really nice too. I was really impressed with it.
We got home around 1 and spent the rest of the afternoon here at home. We decided to go to the movie last night and saw "Madea Goes to Jail"...it was a good movie and I like Tyler Perry..... Did you see Oprah yesterday that he gave her and her friend Gail a Bentley convertible????? wow!!!!!
Today, our Estes park friends, Rod/Jane are coming over and we are going to do some catching up with them .... that is our plans for the day.....
We have 2 potlucks to go to on Sunday and Monday..... not sure what the rest of the week will bring......
Stay tuned!
Until next time!
