High Winds-Lakewood, NM

Monday proved the weather prediction was correct as we had very, very high winds. Jim said weatherbug showed we had gusts up to 51 MPH. Not a good day to be on the road, so we sat still....well, not really still as we were battered around pretty good. Did get the laundry done though.

We all had dinner at Pizza Hut in Artesia last night - our last meal together. We spent our last evening watching The Librarian II.

This will be our departure point with Bill and Lesle as they go to Albuquerque and then to Trinidad, CO on Lesle's sister's property. We will drive this morning to Magdalena then Santa Fe. We have been together and traveled together since last October, so it will be very difficult to leave them and not have our daily visits. We have shared so many things together...it really is like leaving family.

Thank you so much Bill and Lesle for your companionship, friendship and adventure. We learned more card games from you, shared recipes, computer insights and so much laughter. You will be missed.

Lazy Day-Lakewood, NM

Yesterday was just a stay-at-home, lazy day for us. I continued to knit on the jacket I am making. I want to get done as much as I can before visiting my friend, Emily, in Magdalena this week, so she can teach me how to block and put it together.

It was a pretty nice day and we had the door opened all day. We finished the day with a great barbequed steak dinner and then going to the clubhouse for their monthly birthday/anniversary party of ice cream and desserts.....more food!!!

We were going to leave today, but there are high winds predicted for today, with winds anticipated to be up to 50 MPH. No thanks, we'll sit still for another day and see what tomorrow brings.

Can't have a posting without a photo of some kind, so here is a sunset at the Great Sand Dunes National Park near our hometown, Alamosa, Colorado. Remember, you are loved.
