We went to Cuchara today so John & Sydney could eat one last time at the Dog Bar and tomorrow we will head down I-25 to Raton, New Mexico where they will board the Amtrak train and be on their way to Hutchinson, Kansas!  The train doesn't leave until around 5:00 pm, but we will go early enough to get something to eat in Raton, and be at the Depot plenty early.  I think they're kind of excited about the train ride - I would be! :)  Needless to say, I'm a little sad to see them go. Guess I'll have some quiet time now - maybe will get to some of the painting and other projects I had planned for this summer!
