Now Livin' in La Veta!

It's Monday morning, July 11 - I'm sitting here in my camper in La Veta, Colorado - just realized I haven't written anything since before we left Hutch and I really intended to! Here's a rundown of the time since then:

Wed., July 6th - Steve & Kathy took off work about 4:00 and we left town at 5:15. Drove to Dodge City, parked the camper in an RV park, and went to the Casino for a couple of hours. 

Thurs., 7/7 - Next morning we headed out about 8:30 and got to La Veta around 2:00 with several stops along the way. Got the camper all set up and ate at __????_________  An uneventful trip (Thank God!) but of course a little tiring and stressful.  Later drove down to Trinidad to the Walmart store to get some groceries and other stuff.

Fri., 7/8 - Spent part of the day getting stuff into the camper and unloading. Steve worked on getting the awning down. It was stuck with the "pull cord" in the wrong place - hadn't rolled up with the awning. He got it down and "fixed". Drove down to Cuchara - spent a couple of hours there,   checked out the local grocery store.

Sat., 7/9 - Ate lunch at the little diner (Italian sausage sandwich - huge!), Drove out to the Lake and looked around, Later had ice cream at Charlies. I went to Mass at 6:00

Sun., 7/10 -  Kathy & Steve left about 9 am - I worked on my curtains and getting the rest of the stuff in out of the car and washed some clothes. First night by myself in Colorado!

All of these days, Kathy cooked at least 2 meals a day, sometimes 3! After the first couple of days when we were traveling, then getting settled, we ate out very little.  She's a wonderful cook, & I probably gained some pounds!  Steve worked at getting the camper level, fixing the awning and getting it easier to put up & down, taking the hitch off his truck, and other stuff. Also did his best to educate me about "camper maintenance".   Don't know how I would have managed without them.
