We Go Along

We’ve been catching up with friends since we’ve been back in Alamosa.    

CIMG2618Here’s Salai, my knitting buddy.  We always go out to lunch at May Wa.

Since it was cold I had a huge bowl of Jampong, a spicy soup with noodles, tofu and lots of veggies.

Salai had vegetable low mein

Last Tuesday we met with long time friends, CIMG2622Beth and Orville, who were also area managers in the Rio Grand National Forest.  The four of us went through all the paperwork and tools we stored the end of last summer.  When we were through we went back to Ramon’s in South Fork for lunch.

Jim has been making breakfast most mornings.  Bacon and eggs for him, but he makes me a green chile omelet.

It has been cold, cold, cold here this spring.  Our electric heater has been going 24/7 for several days now.  We’ve even had snow a few times. We have more cold weather on the way.  I had to go out and buy warmer clothes to cope.

Even Poncho takes to hiding under the blankets….laying his head on his own personal pillow…cute.

 

And I’ll close with this picture of Mt. Blanca taken yesterday from down the road a bit.  Gaze at it for a while and quiet your mind for a moment.

Cold, cold, cold

Woke this morning to 11*, two inches of snow outside and frozen pipes in our RV!!!!  It’s April 18….it’s Spring….it’s suppose to be warmer than this!!!!

Had the electric heater on and the propane brick heater going, but went ahead and turned on the furnace to get the under-belly warm and hopefully the pipes.  After about two hours the water broke through and all was well.

I went to the library and had to navigate the icy streets and sidewalks.  But I got to see Salai and look at a new knitted hat book she just got in.  It has some very different patterns.

We’ve been busy going through our campgrounds’ storage items, sorting what to throw, what to take up North with us, and what is to go to Utah.

I’m also preparing for training our area managers prior to the opening of our campgrounds in the Arapaho National Forest.

But mostly I am staying inside and trying to stay WARM!!!!!
