And we are home.

And my blog or app is still messed up. I think it has something to do with the keyboard because it's only when I hit punctuation keys that it crashes on me. So I have been using the microphone to record the words. But even then it crashes every three or four sentences or whenever I try to put in an apostrophe or. Period

After another lazy afternoon and casual evening watching the World Series, we packed up after breakfast this morning and headed home. We stopped at the Bosque Del Apache wildlife refuge on our way home.

The fall colors on the cottonwoods were absolutely gorgeous. And while we did not see any Sandhill Crane's while there, we did hear that they are on their way. We will hear them from our home as they fly on down. And that's where we are now, at our home. It was a lovely vacation, and we both commented on how we want to re-create that on our future trips

Truth or consequences

That's the name of the town. For those of us of a certain age who remember the game show back in the 50s, it's the same town that used to be called Hot Springs but because the game show offered them a bunch of something to change their name to truth or consequences that's what it is now.

It is about 7 miles down the road from the lake. So we took the scooter and our bathing suits and went to the Hot Springs for a soak.

I am, unfortunately, still having trouble with the Blogger app. I think they updated it to put in new features, and all it did is mess with the old version using iPhones and iPads. I am sure they will get it fixed soon but in the meantime I'm just going to give you a couple of pictures from today. Oh and I did get some of my embroidery done yesterday. other than sit around and do nothing that's what got done it's been a fun Little relaxing vacation.

It's a mini Blog!

So far this app has crashed on me three times since I managed to start getting something put down. I'm saving after every sentence. So this is a mini blog for our mini vacation. I was reminded yesterday that we blog when we travel and that means were supposed to blog on our little travels too, not just the long ones.  I've been having a little trouble with the Blogger app it keeps crashing on me and this is now the fourth time I've tried to just say hello. I think the best thing is to show you the picture of where we are staying.

As you can see, it is a desert sort of lake. Nothing like the lakes you may envision from your time in the Midwest or the east. But it's cool and comfortable and we're looking forward to a quiet weekend. Except of course during the World Series when we expect there to be a lot of yelling.  Yes, we do have TV. And were supposed to also have Wi-Fi, and while we can see the signal, the speed is so slow it's not worth even trying. So we are using our cell phone connection, because we have a fair amount of leftover data we can use up.  Sorry for the lack of punctuation, it's something I usually try to catch, but it has crashed on me two more times so I think we're up to time number six. I think I will be safer to just go ahead and publish this on my luck is holding out. I'll try and catch you up again sometime tomorrow.
