September 2025
(and a little October) After our friend Ben left, we did not have any big events in September. We worked on projects, went for walks, went on pontoon rides, and got together with family for happy hour and to watch football. I finished my cabinet work for the year. I still have some more to…

Tucumcari looked a little run down but we found some delicious barbecue at Watson’s BBQ inside the Tucumcari Ranch Supply.

SV to Abq
We closed up our place in Sierra Vista. It is very different than closing our place in Minnesota. Of course we do not have to worry about water freezing in Arizona.
