Packing up!

It's tuesday and I'm really getting serious about this sorting and packing! Many decisions.....and stressful!!  I'm getting anxious to get home now too!!

Didn't get to Mass here in La Veta last night because of the Covered Dish Supper, so decided to drive down to Trinidad, go to Mass there and then to Walmart. After Mass, I went to the "Wonderful House" chinese food and ate. We had eaten there the other day on Ladies Day Out, and it's really the only restaurant in Trinidad I know anything about - besides - the food is really good!  Poured down rain while I was in Walmart, but had let up by the time I was ready to go, so made it home by about 4:30, and everything went OK.  Two new neighbors were moving in when I got back.

Gertrude, Patti and I walked downtown this morning, and there was a covered dish dinner over at the clubhouse this eve - I took sliced tomatoes I had bought at the little farmers market downtown.  In between I worked on getting ready to leave.  Visited with Max and Jacquie for a little while. They're nice people!

Today was "Ladies Day Out" - 14 of us drove down to Trinidad, rode on the little tour bus, and at at the "Wonderful House" - Chinese Food.  Fun - good food!

What a good day I've had! Started off with 2 walks - one with Katie (pulling on the leash), then brought her home and did my usual walk to Christ the King and back. Never have figured out exactly how far that is, but probably close to a mile and a half.  Jacquie and a couple of other gals were sitting out by their camper when I got back, and wanted me to join them, so after taking a shower, I did.  Visited with them for quite awhile, then before I could get back to my camper, the gal next door - Patti by name - started talking to me and invited me to join her, so I did and - made a new friend! Later went to "happy hour" - had a good time visiting there. Finally starting to feel really at home here - yeah, just when it's about time to leave. An hour or so after I got home from there, Trudy and Al Stucky came by and stopped to visit.  They are native Hutchonians, transplanted to Texas and he grew up over around Halstead and Moundridge, so lots to talk about.  Tomorrow planning a Girls Day Out - down to Trinidad.  I think it will be fun.

Thought about the dog incident for awhile and finally decided to tell Tom about it.  He was upset enough to call the sheriff - later he came and questioned me about it. He will go talk to the people, but that's probably all that will happen.

Company headed for home and I had a quiet day except for one little incident with a neighborhood dog. I was walking Katy on over here on 2nd St. - walking toward Main St. - 2 dogs came running out barking as I passed this junky looking house with a junky camper in the front yard. I yelled at them and the bigger one turned back, but the smaller one attacked Katy, snapping and snarling. I was yelling and kicking at the dog, which caused me to fall down. About that time, the lady of the house came running and grabbed the dog and I just hurried to get away from there!  Scraped up my arm a little bit, but mostly REALLY PISSED ME OFF! I was so mad! When I got back to my RV, Max & Jackque were outside and I was really letting off steam, cussing, and carrying on! 
Later calmed down enough to go to happy hour. 

To San Luis to see the Stations of the Cross, stopped and at lunch at the Al Gon Cafe in Ft. Garland, then back to LV.
