September 27-28, 2010 Just Two Regular Days

I spent the last two days just getting caught up (bills, laundry, groceries, etc.) and taking it easy.  And I am feeling much better.   Andy spent the last two days cleaning the motor home and Tracker and also resting – so far he is doing well – he hasn’t caught my cold…

And now we are ready for the Balloon Fiesta.  We move to the camping area tomorrow.   We are so excited.  Stay tuned for lots of pictures – :-))).

Here is our site at Leisure Mountain:

My new window shades are in the above picture and I love them – during the day I can see out but you can’t see in (at night we still have to use the curtains).   I am going to try to find that material to make some for the other windows – hopefully block out the sun but let the air breeze in…   Speaking of making – I made the blue “bra or bug catcher” in the above photo – it is marine vinyl and easy to wash the bugs away.  The open areas are screen material.    Not too bad – :-))).  LOL!  

Until tomorrow.

 

September 26, 2010 - Back in the South West

Our travels today continued thru more of Texas.

Notice the moon in the upper left:

A huge feed lot – all those dark spots are cows – oh my:

 

Notice the change in the country side:

And into New Mexico and another time zone change – Mountain time:

 

That is Mt. Tucumcari on the left:

We are definitely in the south west – our altitude here was 3800’ – WOW!:

 

And we climbed even higher:

Some where around here our elevation was over 7000’ – another WOW!

I have missed these views of the southwest:

We are staying in Tijeras, New Mexico at Mountain Leisure RV Park (a Passport America Park – which means half price – :-)).  We will be here until Wednesday morning when we head to the Balloon Fiesta.

The rest of the day I just rested.  I have come down with a cold and it is in full swing – :-(((.   So I am going to take it easy over the next two days and hopefully feel better by Wednesday.
