More Adventures

Wow! My girlfriend Norma is here, but not without complications. It seems that she did something to her back on the way down, but feels she can work through it. So we relax and catch up and I make arrangements for the boyz to go to the kennel for the first time. The next day we head for the giant swap meet in Mesa, which was the one thing Norma really wanted to do on her visit. Great success as far as purchases are concerned, but Norma is failing due to the pain in her back, more upper shoulder. We check into a motel by the grace of God, because there is a Renaissance Festival going on right down the road. I dose her up with Aleve and Bengay, and then I explore and bring back food for the evening meal. Marge and Ramsey are to meet us the next morning at Village Inn. Those Canadians really know how to giggle! looking forward to next year now that I know where they live. Ramsey and I are former Rotarians.

On the trip back to Tucson, I told Norma about what we could see without too much trouble. I took her to A Mountain and she had so much fun taking pictures that she forgot her pain for a while. Here are Norma and I posing and a backdrop off the mountain.

After Norma left for Wellton to take care of her back problems, I left for Elephant Butte to sell antiques. While I'm in Walmart in T or C, My cousin Carol calls with the announcement that they are in Amarillo headed my way. What fun! When they arrive, Larry is too tired to go to the bar, so Carol and I have a girls night out with the promise of either breakfast or lunch the next day. Knowing Carol, it's lunch at Sierra del Rio golf course. Next stop was to see the Butte. Ran into a fellow rv'er who took this picture for us. Then we met later that evening at the bar. This time Larry participating. Why didn't I know this was going to be trouble. He should write novels with the stories he dreamed up about that night. His basketball team won :(

Meanwhile back at the ranch, I'm selling things. This was the family kitchen table from 1965, and if it could talk the stories it could tell. Betty Welty of the ranching family bought it. Friday Tammy came to help me load what I wanted to take back to Tucson. Cindi showed up to rachet it down, then we went to the Inn to meet Deb. Another girls night out. Is there a pattern here?

More to come; I'm just trying to catch up.
