Sunsets

Sunsets and hummingbirds........

Arizona

Finally arrived last Sunday, I don't know what the date would have been...it was a very long drive down here.  With all of the moving of Jade and us, still trying to work and trying to get everything done just plain wore this person out..I have to keep reminding myself I am not 20 anymore..54 going on 55 soon..things take a little longer, and I need more NAPS !  I still am not 100% having my balance issues again, they flare up when I overdo..going to a cranial therapist tomorrow in Tucson.

I do have some pretty pics of where we are staying. Hope they decide to come thru tonight.

I have 3 Yoga jobs lined up.  I went to visit all of them last week...and the woman that owns this RV Resort and Inn wants me to help her out as well.

Dave doesn't like me at home...but too bad.  I have been working since I was 17.  I think I can take a friggin' month off.

We have hummingbirds all over the place down here.  The sunsets are amazing..it still is a little warm. I know I will feel better when it cools off.  It was over 100 all last week.  Still in the 80's this week.

This was a dust storm that blew in last Friday.

Okay will have to try the hummingbirds and sunset on a different post.

Finally the pics from New Mexico..

There are more.will get them on here sometime this week, but am just plain tuckered out tonight...we finally got to Arizona today. Sunday October 10th.  I am not use to driving long distances..got out of the habit.  Living in a small town out in the middle of no where, having to drive 50 just to do anything and running a custom harvest crew across the United States for 15 years...you think drving would not bother me..I think I'm just plain burnt out on it.

NEW MEXICO

We stayed in Santa Rosa, New Mexico the past 3 night..tonight we are in Deming,New Mexico.  I do believe I like it better down here..the drive today was so pretty.  God's little paint brush was magical..mountain ranges, grasslands, white sand dunes..I had it all today.

Tomorrow if all goes well we will be at our destination.  Florence, AZ

I have some great pics of New Mexico..will put a few on tonight..then more later on.

I am tired didn't sleep well last night at all...I get all keyed up thinking about the drives.

The pics of the blue water is called the "Blue Hole" in Santa Rosa, it is 81 feet deep, 61 degrees, of fresh spring water...it produces 3000 gal per minute...people practice deep sea diving here.

The computer won't let me download the pics tonight..so will have to wait and post them another day.

Good night......

Spring Lake RV Resort in Kansas

So these are pictures of our first stop. And our RV, my home for the next few years?  Don't know, for sure will be in it for 6 months...and for a few months this summer...then back to Arizona..Someday I will show pics of the inside.

But Spring Lake is a lovely place to camp, they have fishing in the ponds, on the weekends they have concerts,church and meals.  They have cabins and trailers they rent out as well.  I feel more rested today, took 2 walks and some yoga..so we are hitting the pavement again tomorrow..heading to Dalhart, Texas.

AGE

I am feeling my age today..I use to be able to go go go..ha. the joke is on me now. NO more.
The last 3 weeks have been moving Jade, moving us, trying to remember everything that needs to be done.  Working at a job that I should have left 1 year ago...our first day of driving (I have 1300 miles to go) last night I was wore to the bone, and when I woke up am still feeling that way...and I wanted to spend the day with the grandkids...

Am hoping after a little nap..my energy may come back...am so mentally drained right now.

I have to put these types of posts in, I didn't say they would all be pretty and sweet.

Plus I have the worry of doing something different with work...

Ai yi yi.....Lord give me strength to carry me on....because I need your guiding hand right now.

Hope everyone else is doing great...

Flying South

I noticed the geese are starting to fly south...and so am I ...tomorrow we leave for Arizona.  I made one more major decision.  I was going to get my dental hygiene license for Arizona, but decided last night not to.  This is to be a life change. Why would I want to go do something that made my life miserable....it is a very hard profession to say the least.  I have a list, but won't bore you with details.

As I am running around trying to get everything in order to leave..I have sticky notes everywhere!  Needless to say, as I am trying to find mousse for my hair (Kim they sell it in Arizona) a lady pulls a sticky note off of my butt...I explained to her what was going on.  I just left,good grief, go home and relax a minute...

Tomorrow we hit the road, hopefully will post pictures along the way. New Mexico is breath taking..

I got to see the trees turning here..so that was a good thing today..reds,browns,golds,greens all around..a nice farewell from the Midwest.

Blessings to all,
Kim
