Tucson, Arizona

We left Deming, NM and drove to Tucson on Monday. 

We decided to stay at Tra-Tel RV Park (a Passport America park) because this is where Nick and Terri Russell stay often when in Tucson.

First on the docket was a late lunch with Marcie and Jim Cumberland at Choice Greens Restaurant.

We first met Marcie and Jim at the Gypsy Journal Rally in Tucson in 2008 when both the Jims took part in the Cactus Rose Beauty Contest…..it wasn’t pretty, let me tell you.  We met the Cumberlands again while working the holiday season for amazon.com in Coffeyville, Kansas, back in 2008. Since then Marcie and I have kept in touch and shared knitting and crocheting projects. We always stop and see them when we are in Tucson. It sure was nice to see them again.

Later we turned on the a/c and kicked back not being use to the 88* heat.  At six we drove to the In-n-Out we had spied on our way into town.  We l-o-o-v-e  In-n-Outs and since they are not in Colorado or New Mexico it has been a good while since we’ve eaten one of their delightful burgers.  Thank you, Bob and Molly Pinner for introducing us to In-n-Outs in Laughlin, NV back in 2008.

After dinner it was a rush back to the rig to enjoy CBS’s night of TV….Big Bang Theory, Scorpion and NCIS: Los Angeles.

Remember, you are loved. 

Deming, NM & Palomas, Mexico

We took off from Espanola on Saturday and had a rendezvous with Cool Judy and Luke in Albuquerque.  I gave her a few knitted scarves for the C.A.R.E. auction being held by the Boomers group attending the Balloon Fiesta.

We continued on to Deming and pulled into the Dream Catcher RV Park. It had been a long 327 mile trip so we pretty much just lazed around all night.

Sunday we took the trip  across the border to Palomas, Mexico, to one of my fav places…The Pink Store, named that for obvious reasons.

I really like this place

from the bar where they make THE BEST margaritas	to enjoying the unique decor
to the wonderful, wonderful food from the tostadoes	to their Huevos Rancheros
to the racks of glassware	to racks of colorful pottery

I even like their “banos”.  Each cubicle has a very decorative wood door and then the sinks are all highly colorful porcelain…..makes you smile just to wash your hands!

It definitely was a GOOD day.  Remember, you are loved.
