It seems a little weird to be writing this post when Summer has started. I guess that just shows you how late in the “Spring Season” we returned home. We have been home for a couple of weeks. In fact,…
Popping in and out of Las Cruces
The past month we have been popping in and out of Las Cruces as the build of our house starts. I’m not going to detail all the house progress in this blog, after all this is a travel blog. We…
Empire Ranch (Las Cienegas)

Finally Home
We are finally home from Las Cruces, New Mexico. Jim was released from the rehab hospital on Monday, August 15. In anticipation of that event and knowing that Jim would not be able to drive the RV (and his reluctance…
