Last Day in Show Low…

Today is our last full day in Show Low. Tomorrow morning we start our 1000 mile trip back to Burnet, TX for our daughter Brandi’s wedding on the 21st.

We’ll get there on the 18th which gives us 6 days to make it, but we’ll only travel on 5. We want to spend an extra day in Amarillo to visit Palo Duro Canyon.

And Jan is still looking for exactly the right pair of shoes for the wedding so the extra day will give us enough time for both.

About 10 am Jan and Terry went shopping and left Nick and I to our own devices, which can be very dangerous.

Here’s Mister and Emma jockeying for a spot in the sun. But they don’t like each other, and can’t stand to look at each other, so here’s the result.

Apparently cheek-to-cheek is OK as long as it’s the other cheeks.

About 11 Nick came over and we went back to his rig to work on his website. Then we sat around and worried about how long Jan and Terry were gone, and if we’d have any money left when they got back.

When they finally did get back we sat around their rig and talked for a while. About 3:30 Jan and I walked back to our rig and napped until about 5 pm when we headed out for supper at Native New Yorker, a really good wing (and other things) place. Nick and I had wings, Terry had a tuna melt, and Jan had chicken strips. All very good.

After Jan tried the Suicide Hot Sauce that came with my wings, she decided that we needed to stop off at Dairy Queen on the way home to cool things off.

We got back to the rig a little before 7 and turned in for the night, since I still had things to do for our trip tomorrow.

More tomorrow from Magdalena, NM…
