We are settling in. Today I am catching up on laundry but I am taking time for a line or two. We are on Lot # 54 this year. It is shady and roomy and not very far from Bill & Jo's place. We can look out our front window and see their front door. We are much happier with this spot than the one we had last year.

Thanks to Karyn for this one: HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND THINKING, "SURELY I CAN'T LOOK THAT OLD?" WELL.... YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE!
I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT
WITH A NEW DENTIST. I NOTICED HIS DDS DIPLOMA, WHICH
BORE HIS FULL NAME.
SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK-HAIRED BOY
WITH THE SAME NAME HAD BEEN IN MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS SOME
40-ODD YEARS AGO. COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A
SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN?
UPON SEEING HIM, HOWEVER, I QUICK DISCARDED ANY SUCH
THOUGHT. THIS BALDING GRAY-HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY
LINED FACE WAS WAY TOO OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE.
HMMM, OR COULD HE?
AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD
ATTENDED LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL.
"YES. YES, I DID. I'M A MUSTANG', HE GLEAMED WITH PRIDE.
'WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE?" I ASKED.
HE ANSWERED, "IN 1959. WHY DO YOU ASK?"
"YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!" I EXCLAIMED.
HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY. THEN, THAT UGLY, OLD, WRINKLED,
BALD-HEADED FART ASKED,
"WHAT DID YOU TEACH?".

A Live Oak at Ft Clark Springs near Brackettville TX. Fort Clark Springs is a private community owned by the people who live there. It warrants explanation because many people feel it is still an active base. It hasn't been since 1946! It is a secluded yet very active place. If the hustle and bustle of the Rio Grande Valley is becoming too much for you it would be a good place to consider for winter living. It is a shame more people do not utilize it.

St Clair Winery
We toured the St.Clair Winery in Deming NM. We sampled 9, bought 5 plus 2 grape juice. A good time was had by all! 
Museum in Deming
We went to the museum in Deming NM yesterday and it is indeed worth the trip. We were there for two hours and we made a fairly speedy tour of all the exhibits so of course we did not see everything. I think it would take several trips to see it all. it lived up to its reputation to be sure. I forgot my camera and those who know me well will find that hard to believe!

We have moved on after spending three weeks in Arizona in various locations. We are now in Deming New Mexico staying at another SKP park( Dreamcatchers RV Park) right along I-10. We stay in Escapee parks because we are members and get quite a break on rates. Our rate per day here is $10 and that is hard to beat. The elevation here is higher and therefore we are experiencing cooler temperatures. Highs in the 70's and lows in the 40's. There are a few attractions we plan to see around this area. The local museum we hear is a good one and we have seen many so we are in a good position to judge. I will give you an honest assessment after I have seen it.;-) We will go north to see Silver City, another mining town in the mountains and I have hopes it is more than just another mining town but on the way we will stop at the City of Rocks. Eons ago a volcano dumped off a bunch of huge rocks and they happened to land in a somewhat orderly fashion and therefore resembles a city. We also plan to see the cliff dwellings that are nearby and last but not least there is a winery to visit. I have been to a winery years ago with Marlene and Bernard Kelley but Butch has never been to one.
From here we plan to go to a jumping off spot to visit Big Bend National Park. We have certainly made good use of our Golden Age Pass.

Kartchner Caverns State Park
I was hoping to show you some nice photos by going to this site but it looks like it is mostly informational. It is a spectacular place.
