October & November Pictures

so much to catch up on ! after we left Boston we had 2 days in New York with family. Jamey and Bonnie had a gathering in Appalachin for Bonnie and Billy birthdays. good people(Dad, Uncle Ray, Kim Kent....many others) good food(Brozetti's Pizza) and cool cakes(thanks to Jimbo) glad we got to spend time with them all.
then I got to spend and afternoon & evening with Dusti. we went to the race track, threw them some money had Bruce Slate come over for lunch and went to Debbie's for a soak in the hot tub. all time flies so fast....
then it was on to the Larmore family reunion in McKee Kentucky.with the trailer demanding brakes before we got to Robert & Phyllis' we met up with cousins last seen in Johnnies' youth,Debbie and Dennis Gates. Good turnout and great fun, with a civil war re-enactment to see, but COld.....
from here we headed to Missouri, we did not get to see Johnnie's Dad, as he was tired from a trip to the Dr. earlier in the day and we left the next morning early. we then went by Jobie's sisters house in Arkansas,I saw signs for Toad Suck, then on into Texarkansas, in a driving hard rain storm.
Who Knew it rained in Texas ?? the Arkansas Texas border was wet I took pictures from the truck but they are not very good.
we spent time in San Antonio while Danise and Lloyde were with thier kids in Houston.
We spent time with Grandsons and Shaylyn going to a game farm & seeing the Missions of San Antonio.
then with Danise & Lloyd behind us once again we headed west for El Paso. we drove by the Mexico border where bad things are happening, over 2000 people killed just so far this year, we went on into Anthony, New Mexico and set up the campers, in a snow storm. I am wondering about this snowbird stuff....hummmm...
after oil changes and regular mantenance on trucks and campers we head for our time we all get to see New Mexico on our schedule...so we go 30 miles from El Paso to Las Cruces.... our truck makes a bad noise in the steering column, have to find a garage...luckily we found an honest one but still are 2 days with out our rig. thank goodnes for Danise & Lloyd. we saw White Sands(here at the gift shop Johnnie got a new flute ) we saw a space Museum and the largest grouping of petroglyphs in the world we drove out a very twisty road to see the Gila Cliff Dwellings only to arrive to tired to do the walk we will go back there tomorrow :) early and prepared for the hike.I am surely leaving something out but time is ticking and I would like to get some scraping done in Danise & Lloyd's album so enjoy what pictures I can get loaded. !

another wonderful day in Washington

as fall gently drops on our mountains, you can hear the sounds of the tourists going home and those of us that live here picking up the trash left behind. Another season of my life has past, a new one begun. I am thankful for today and where I am. I saw so very much this summer and will hold memories dear to me forever.

Gods Blessings to you one and all .

I am glad he no longer suffers.
How is it I feel the world lost another great ?

THE WHOLE GANG

WITH THE PRICES OF THE FOOD HERE THEY COULD MAKE ANYTHING HAPPEN !!

DRINKING...1..2..3..


DON'T THINK SHE LIKED THAT ONE...


AREN'T THEY BEAUTIFUL !! MOTHER & DAUGHTER


I went on a wonderful wine tasting tour this summer but cannot get my wines home to me...
Dusti tried to mail them, to Ups them...etc, no one allows wine to go thru now if you lie and tell them it is something else, they will ship it and not care, but alas Dusti is honest, so she gets to drink my wine....humm...
Any Who... I decided to try a different tact, some of the wineries advertised "free shipping to your home" while I was there, so I went online ordered a case and guess what, they ship !! my wine will be arriving next Tuesday!! this winery ships with Fed-x, and they have a contract to ship in my state WOO HOO ! ....I should say my second choice wines will be arriving... because, (RANT) the first choice winery does not want to be a fed-x customer.......they ship UPS....talk about snotty people! the office girl was put out that she had to talk to me and then hung up with-out a good-bye, kiss my ass, or nothing... just click. geez....
But the silver lining is I liked the coming wines,
and will probably not remember what the others tasted like.......
so... screw you nautie winery !!!!
