May 19 - Albuquerque, NM

We were once again settled in at the Sierra Vista RV park along with our host & good friend Joy. We enjoy staying here and helping her out when ever we are in town.

Becky is getting better as the days go by. She is doing her exercises very religiously. Hopefully she'll recoup faster than expected. She can drive next week. HURRAY!

We were also able to spend some extra time with our faith sharing group. Bob Rodgers is on the recoup from his fall, thank God. He's really looking good. He did not recommend his method of weight loss though. I tend to agree with him too. It was good to see everyone else too.

This was a lot of time for visiting with friends and family. We spent an afternoon with my uncle Rich & aunt Joyce. This was the first time that they saw our setup. It was a fun afternoon for us catching up on family news.

Then there was our time spent with Larry & Roz Gibble. We haven't laughed this much in a long time. Larry sure had a big smile on his face when we went for a ride in the truck. He's a Volvo car enthusiast and is currently restoring an older Volvo. He really is meticulous about it too. He does that in between his 100 mile bike rides with Roz. They have this really neat tandem bike and just finished the "Santa Fe 100". My butt is sore after 10 miles. I can't imagine 100 miles.

We popped in at Missy & Gerald Simnacher's place to see their remodel project. Oh how it reminded us of our big project. They had the kitchen down to the studs and then some. It's going to turn our really good. To our surprise the person doing the remodel was an old friend of ours.

Dinner with Fabian Gagnon & my mom was again a fun filled evening. It was laughter and remembering the good times we all have had together. Besides Fabian is a really good cook.


Then there was dinner with mom & Joy. Mom surprised us with our special quilt. WOW! What a mom. We will cherish it forever. It looks great on our bed too. It really dresses up the place.
Mom sure hasn't forgotten to cook either. As always we were treated to a great meal. We are truly blessed to have her still with us and for us to be able to share some really great times with her. We have the "million dollar" memories of our times with her. We wish her many more years of good health and thank her very much for all that she has done for us through out her life.
It seems like all we did was visit friends and eat. We had a special treat when we visited Mike & Chelsea. He taught us how to make bar-b-que grill pizza. It was soooo good. That's the only way to eat pizza as far as we're concerned. Those others will never taste the same again.
We were able to get some time in with my brother Stan & his wife Joyce. They were hiding out from the kids. As he said he just needed to get away for a little bit. I just can't understand why with two teenagers home for the summer. Ha Ha. I remember those times well of needing a little peace and quite.
Well now it's time to pack up and get on the move, finally. We are getting anxious to head up north for our summer excursion. Besides it's supposed to hit 100* this week in Albuquerque.
