I like our new spot.
There is lots of dirt to roll around in.
I roll and scratch. This is fun. Time to go inside and sleep though.
Today, we chose to do nothing. How often does that happen? We thought about going up the Sandia Peak
Tram… we were told that it is not the
thing to do on a holiday weekend. Oh
yeah, forgot about that.
I took my morning walk around the Jemez Pueblo. We are right next to the Rio Grande. The pueblo dates back about 500 years. Then we got serious… RUMMIKUB!
I let Spouse win a game! What was
I thinking! But I won it back… and I got
him holding some points! YES! To be continued…
We did some grocery shopping in anticipation of my nephew
and his family visiting. We also
filled our empty propane tank. Spouse
agonized over paying more for getting the tank filled than we would when we got
to Farmington. But we needed it for our
barbecue tonite, so he had to bite the bullet.
I am surprised that he did not writhe in pain! We will light the fire pit and make s’mores. And we will set up the cots and sleep outside. It has been warm, but not hot. We have needed the air conditioner inside
though.
Spouse cooked the caribou, some salmon and some halibut that
our friends gave us. None of us had
eaten caribou before and it was quite good.
It was lean and tasted like steak.
I am not much of a meat person, but I liked it. Maybe it was the hatch chiles that we roasted
and put on the same plate. I REALLY
liked them. It is the season for them
and people buy them by the 25 pound bag and have them roasted. We may have to get some when we get to
Farmington. I don’t know where we would
put a 25 pound bag of peppers, but the couple next to us came here from Phoenix
specifically for them. They had at least
60 pounds of them!
As we ate, the skies grew dark and ominous. Spouse had showed Hayden and Ellie how to
make kindling from solid pieces of wood.
They had fun with that. By the
time Spouse lit the fire, the wind was really blowing. We had to rescue one of our chairs that blew
into the fire, but weather be damned!
The kids are going to have s’mores!
And that they did! We did get a
few sprinkles on us, but the rain pretty much stayed away. The lightening show was quite nice.
Bob, Hayden and I slept outside in the cabana. The clouds parted and the moon was really
bright. Good thing the cabana provided
some darkness. I wanted to tell ghost
stories, but Bob didn’t recommend that! Jen,
Ellie and Spouse slept inside. Rudy was
quite overwhelmed with all the activity.
He hugged his daddy all night long.
