Good Night

Good Night

Well, it has been a very good day for a Monday, smile. I started the day off at 5:30am caring for Chris. Elise is still counting crows but she will be up soon. We are going to place an order for some landscaping rocks for the front yard. Elise and I left to place the order at 7:00am and it will be delivered on Thursday morning. I had to run a couple of errands and I had to run to my office as well.

Elise prepared dinner and we began to watch the Mash series on DVD with Chris, Chris loves Mash. I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise is playing bridge at her Mums house. She is still under the weather with her sinus infection. She is now taking additional meds for it and we will see what happens. Well, here is what happened on our trip to New Mexico.

We left Tucson on the 12th of November at 12:30pm. We left late because our caregiver Marva didn't show up on time, she was suppose to be here at 9:00am. Marva arrived at 11:00am to care for Chris and we departed to have breakfast at Gus Balone's before we hit the road. Elise had the ham steak, eggs, hash browns and toast. I had pork chops, eggs, hash browns, and toast. We had plenty of coffee as well.

We stopped in Globe, AZ to get a snack a McDonalds and to take a bathroom break. Elise got an ice cream sundae with no toppings and I got a cup of coffee. We are listening to a book on tape about a man whose son was autistic. It is a very good book. We arrived in Quemado, New Mexico and we checked into to Largo Motel and Restaurant it was about 6:30pm. I took us about six hours to get here. We received a phone call from Nanci when we were in Show Low. Nanci and Jeff are on the road and they are in Globe,AZ.

It is about 8:00pm and we had a couple of Jack and Cokes and some popcorn. We went over to the restaurant for dinner. I had the catfish, mashed potatoes and green beans. Elise had tacos with pinto beans. A very good dinner. It is cold outside 48 degrees. We returned to our room and we called it a night.

Friday 13 Nov 09, we woke up at around 9:00am and that is very rare for us to do that. We both sleep well but when we stepped outside it was cold! We overheard a guy say that there was a 30% chance of snow forecasted for Sunday. Nanci called from the property because they were wondering where we were. We had breakfast at the the restaurant before we left to meet with Nanci and Jeff. Elise had Carne Adobado and it was very (picante) spicy with cheese, potatoes an corn tortilla. Elise loved it. I had eggs, ham, potatoes and pancakes that were huge. A very filling breakfast. We are now heading into the mountains to help Nanci and Jeff.

We left Nanci and Jeff's at around 8:30pm and we got lost in the woods for a short time, what a adventure that was and fun. We had dinner with Nanci and Jeff before we returned to our room. We had some very, very good tamales for dinner. We took a ride up the mountain, and we hiked, had a few beers and talked. It was good to see Nanci and Jeff. We watched TV for a while back at the hotel and then we called it a night.

Saturday 14 Nov 09, Elise got up at 8:30am and I got up at 9:00am. We both were feeling a bit under the weather this morning and Elise is feeling bad dealing with the sinus infection. We went to have breakfast and Elise had oatmeal, brown sugar, raisins. I had eggs, pancakes and a sausage pattie that was as big as the plate itself. Of course plenty of coffee.

We headed up the mountain to see Nanci and Jeff. We spent most of the day outside helping to clear the area where the house is going built. I even chopped logs for the fire and let me tell you I am feeling it right now. We rested by the fire and we got snowed on and it was great. We were in and out of the trailer when to rain and snow got to be too much. It was a very good day and it was good to be out in the weather. The temp was 37 degrees and it only got to be 50 degrees today. We were snacking on bean dip and Frito's while we watched the snow fall. Later we sat by the fire and relaxed. Elise and Nanci prepared dinner and it was very good. We had hot dogs with chili and beans and we had plenty of red to wash it all down. Nice dinner! We headed back to our room at around 8:00pm. We showered and called it a night.

Sunday 11 Nov 09, we met Nanci and Jeff at the restaurant for breakfast and then we took off and we headed Tucson. Nanci and Jeff will be headed back to Tucson as well after they secure the property. We continued and finished listening to the Horse Boy on the way home. We arrives home at around 3:30pm just in time to see the Wildcats basketball game, and they won. Go Cat's!! We had a very,very nice time.

Well, that was our trip. The photos are of our stay in New Mexico.
