Goodbye OKC, Hello New Mexico


 It's after the New Year and we have left OKC, however before we left we had some work to do. Josh and Kaileigh received a few hundred dollars in Lowes Gift Cards to help with their new home. So off to Lowes we went, a couple of hours and several decisions later, we began work on the house. All new fixtures were hung and paint went on the walls. We must say, the house looks much better and with their character all over it, it's truly their home now.


 Another surprise we go was the return of our little granddaughter (she was visiting the other grandparents in Atlanta for Christmas) and Christmas all over again. I'll tell you, the little one really made out with two Christmas's and double the toys!!!

 Sheryl got in all the quality time she could.

 As did I. Ok, how many grand dads would let the little one paint their toe nails bright pink!!! Yea, I'm a great guy. P.S. you know how hard that stuff is to get off your toes............sheesh.

 It was time to say our goodbyes and start heading toward New Mexico. We had a great time for the last month visiting with all the kids.  Here are Sheryl, here daughter Kaileigh and the little one Clara.

While in OKC we watched the weather and saw our original route may have some pretty poor weather. We changed our plans and decided to head south to Dallas and take I-20 into El Paso. Well we were out smarted (which doesn't take much) and ended up in a 7" snow storm in Midland TX. We did a little Wally Docking before the weather cleared the next afternoon. One fun thing that happened while we were holed up, is Scrappy got to experience his first snow, and we must say, he had a ball in it.

We have finally arrived back in Alamogordo, NM. We'll be here for a month or longer depending on how our Doctors appointments go. We are also getting our black tank re-fixed, as what ever the repair shop did in Nov, something went awry and we still have a leak.

That's it for now, so stay tuned for more form sunny southern New Mexico.
