Is the Craziness Over Yet? Angel Fire

Angel Fire

Lobby of the St James Hotel in Cimarron, NM and Yes, it's Haunted!

Famous guest of the hotel
We ventured over to Red River
My babies...Crystal leaving to move on over to Magnolia, Texas...They were going to stay until that Saturday morning but...things progressed pretty fast and they left that Friday evening after work...everyone a little teary eyed and moving very fast!  We got through it...
Granddaughter Samantha...Went with her to a doctor's appointment yesterday because of a lump in her breast scare...Thank God in Heaven it is benign....
The goose that laid several eggs...


THEN...there's the NEW Motor home.  Granted, it's nice to have, to roam the countryside without having to stop somewhere to make sandwiches or...well, you know...breaks.  Lets just do it this way...List.  I love list.

1.  Ford V10 chassis...nice...Air conditioner quit cooling...there's a leak in the line so freon? all leaked out.
2.  We are in New Mexico at 9800 ft...it's 38 degrees and the furnace stops working.  Thank goodness we brought along a plug in heater which really didn't help all that much.  Can you say popsicles?
3.  Windows wouldn't close all the way on my side...
4.  Water leak in the windshield...
5.  The levelers wouldn't retract...that's right...wouldn't go back up, leaving us stranded in the RV park for a second night.  Thankful for the kindness and help from the KOA park manager!  He didn't know us from Adam...pitched us his personal truck keys and said, there's a Walmart down the road...you might be needing groceries???  Wow...just great people.
Called a repairman to get them retracted and headed on back to Waco...The last photo is of Hubby taking it back to the dealership to begin repairs.  Gads, what a month...
Did we enjoy ANY of it?  Yes...being in the total quietness at Jane and Henry's, looking at the Elk from the veranda...drinking a coffee...not thinking about much...yep, that was nice.

They're Moving....


Ok, I admit it....I am not happy...they're moving to a suburb of Houston...Tim (third to L) got a wonderful promotion and has to go where they send him...and Crystal (second to L) and William (L) will make the move Dec 30th....Sami (far R) has a job here so she will be staying.  Tylar (right next to Sami) is in the Air Force at DoverAB. 
They are buying a house there so Tim will move before Crys and Will.  Crys and Will are staying until Dec because that was the deal...Will is BIG in Band here and has a girlfriend and is 16...Any questions?  He wants to at least see out football season here before he leaves and Crys and Tim agreed.  SO, Crys and Will will stay with us when their home here sells or they reach the Dec 30th mark.  Either way, that's it...they'll go at midterm.  They'll be traveling the 2 hours between towns to see each other and get ready for the move.  Dec will be here before we know it....(I need a drink).


ANYWAY...here's an accent chair I bought.  Needed the color to break up all the brown I have going on in the living room.  It works and I like it but it's not the most comfortable chair I've ever sat in...the seat...not soft.
 

This morning I have to get to the in-laws house to wait for the cleaning crew.  Too much for them to handle (90 and 88) so us kids are paying a crew to come do a honking big clean-up.  Our hit and miss between jobs and time off isn't cutting it...and it'll make them feel so much better.
I've set up our supper in the crock pot...chicken thighs, potatoes, corn and shallots.  Would you believe I've never cooked with shallots? Not once...so it should be a big adventure for us...yeah, we're that boring.
Well, I've rattled on long enough...I've been trying to learn Crystal's job at work...(#@$$&%#) and it's a challenge so that's my excuse this time for not posting.  And I just have not been HAPPY...Hahaaa....sorry.
Behave and I'll be around to check on you all.....still need that drink...
