Bulldog Man and I took a nice trip to Southern New
Mexico last week, to surprise his parents.
We realized it had been 2+ years since we last saw his parents. Where did time go? It flies so fast, and before you know it,
years have passed by.

The trip was fast and furious. We had two days to travel to and from home,
and 3 days to take care of anything Bulldog Man’s parents needed help with.
We had so much fun catching up, and just being with
his parents. Every time we visit them
it’s so relaxing and enjoyable. Their
home sits in a basin of the desert surrounded completely by mountains.
At night you can see stars and planets
everywhere. The first time I visited
Bulldog Man’s parents, I felt as if I were in heaven. I ventured outside and looked up at the
sky. I felt as if I could reach out and
touch the stars. This was the first time
in my life where I had seen so many stars, and had this natural calm instantly
come over me.
When traveling out West and in the mountains, you
must drink plenty of water, due to the elevation changes, to keep hydrated, and
not miss out on any authentic Mexican food.
Yes, that’s right…..Bulldog Man and I took his parents out to eat, and
had REAL Mexican food at Si Senors. The
food just melted in your mouth. And
don’t forget to order yourself up a plate of Stuffed Sopapillas with honey.
Not only did we fill ourselves up with great food, I
learned how to knit from my MIL. Bulldog Man spent time with his Dad at his
Men’s Bible Study group, and we caught up with dear friends.
Now that we’re home, it’s time to get back to work
on the homestead, and find a place to hang 2 beautiful wind chimes my MIL made
out of wine bottles.
Life is good!!
