It’s Monday and a day of changes—we have to leave—nobody really wants to but it’s time. Poor Tom—I think he is going to miss us—Betsy needs to get back to work but I think Tom enjoyed coming home to a house full of women—that told too many old and funny stories. With him right in the middle of it and us hanging on, or commenting about, every word he spoke—and did I mention we always had wonderful food and drink mixed in with all of it? Oh well—all must change…
I just finished my shower and the other girls took the 2 boys and Betsy’s boy, Zeus, down to the lake for a final run. I think I’m suppose to be packing leftovers and putting back my kitchen together since we had spread out into the house. Then it’s about 100 miles to our next camp spot. We will probably stop in Durango on the way and do a Wallyworld fix. T&B live 50 miles away from a decent size town so we have been just picking up minimum from the local more expensive establishments and we could use some supplies—although probably not much food—back to those leftovers.
Guess we should also be thinking about getting home and working on some business stuff. Hope to update pictures before too long too. It’s just been hard to do much more on the computer than what I’ve been doing lately. But enough about riding, recipes, and other fun stuff—I will try to get done what needs to get done. So off to business—maybe more later…
Well it’s now almost 10pm in Mesa Verde National park. We just got back from Cortez after eating at a Mexican Restaurant that obviously had a tourist scam. We ordered the “Regular” margarita but that turned out to be the same terminology as the “Original” which was $2 more than the “Regular”—same size but supposedly “better”. But it was obviously a scam towards the tourists/people going through and they wouldn’t back off. Too bad, since the food was great and we would have gone back tomorrow. No way now…we do have our integrity…but they ended up with an extra $15—guess the scam is working.
The rest of the evening was some serious discussion of life/relationships/goals/and again—life—and what’s important. And the difference of what years of living life really means.
Hopefully we all learned something…we’re probably all more relaxed.
The campground in Mesa Verde is really nice and we have full hookups—of course they are $33 an night! A luxury of unlimited showers and unlimited bathroom use has been few and far between—good timing since we have to “dry” camp once we hit Albuquerque—but that’s only $25 a weekend and free during the week, not a bad deal—easy to rationalize these expensive 2 days. Hopefully we can find a dump station in Alb. close to the show and relatively cheap. Tonight we also actually have a TV station coming in with just a little fuzz. Hard to believe we are excited about it.
Tomorrow we will explore the park—and perhaps do laundry, since they have one, so the 3 of us will be better prepared for our professional life…it’s coming up fast…I might even try to paint one of my flowers…
Tuesday morning—We have internet! Although very iffy. Looks like the day will be pretty much what we’ve planned last night. Showers, laundry, maybe me doing pictures, and exploring a park. Have seen lot’s of deer but no critters came last night to my little pile of scraps I left out. The last park I had feral cats, skunks and much more I missed because I finally went to sleep. We’ll see what happens tonight…
