Almost Home

Well I'm almost home. Spent last night at exit 144. Went to sleep early and slept in till 7am. Left around 9am, stopped for lunch and a short nap then hit the road again. Its been sunny and getting more humid the further I drive. Tonight I'm at a rest stop at Exit 394. Dumped and am using their wifi. The one really good thing about traveling in Texas is the free wifi at rest stops. Tomorrow I only have 114 miles to go so I'll get home fairly early. Its only about two more hours down the road but its getting windy and I'm tired. Well, this is it for this trip which ended too soon.

Great Weather

Had a great rain storm with thunder and lightening last night so everything was cool and crisp. We started the summer program of only working half days on Tuesdays to be done before it gets too hot. We had our Tuesday potluck (I'm not losing any weight) had the Red Hat ladies tour the facility and join us for lunch. The commented on how clean the facility is - we all work hard at keeping it that way. Right now I'm sitting up on the porch using the internet. Its quiet because all the dogs are eating (except for the peacock yelling). Its a beautiful day, sunny and probably warm later. As you can tell there's not much going on. I may go to town to the Geronimo Museum today.

Mother's Day in TorC

Here I am again in the local coffee shop using the internet. This place appears to be the local hangout for the artist/odd people community of TorC which seems to have a large population of them. They have a large group of "peace marchers" who hang out near Main street with their peace signs. They all go crazy when I drive by in the Bug, yelling and giving me the peace sign.

Last night we got a watermelon and a bunch of us sat around and ate it and enjoyed the stars. Had some thunder off in the distance but no rain. Am going to try and post a couple of photos our some of the residents of Desert Haven.

End of the Rainbow

Well, I'm in TorC at a coffee shop so I can get on the internet which turns out to be impossible at Desert Haven. We've had afternoon sprinkles and some thunderstorms with the most beautiful rainbows.

We've had two dogs go to new homes but that still leaves us with 12. Its a lot more physical work that I thought and I'm not sure if I can make the entire two months but I am getting tan. We have about 25 cats, 4 pens with chickens and roosters, a pen with doves, a pen with guina pigs (lots) and a peacock (Russell) and peahen.

Not much to write about, just work, walk my dogs and nap and read. This job will either kill me or get me in shape.

Finally Arrived

Since I have to take my computer up to the office to get on the internet this is the first time I've blogged since I left Kerrville.

Stopped two nights on the road; Van Horn KOA (their prices have gone up) and Clint, TX. Had a huge thunderstorm at Clint. Tranqualized Sassy and unplugged the RV just in case the park got hit. Have never seen such huge bolts of lightening before and it seemed to last forever. Had wind almost constantly from Kerrville to Las Cruces.

Got to Desert Haven and got the RV set up and met a few of the volunteers and workers. Helped feed that evening so I could get to know the critters. The facilities are juryrigged but really nice for the animals and kept really, really clean. Also helped Monday morning cause one of the local volunteers was ill but Tuesday is my official first day.

The weather has cleared up and its 80 right now with a cool breeze and the nights are in the low 50's and its NOT HUMID!!!!!!! LOVE New Mexico.

Drove into TorC (Truth or Consequences) - not much there. Next year they're supposed to get a Walmart.

Will Post pictures next time.

Ready to hit the road!!!

Getting ready to head for New Mexico. Going to workamp at Desert Haven Humane Society for May and June for a free site. Its been raining so much here that I'm hoping New Mexico will be drier.

Stay tuned.
