| My idea of fishing |
This morning w head to Rockhound State Park in Deming NM for four nights, we have thoroughly enjoyed our time here at Elephant Butte State Park and plan to return someday, maybe as workampers. We have not been doing much, bike riding, walking, reading, soaking up the rays and enjoying some nice dinners. Dave has enjoyed his week of fishing, we have a dozen or so catfish in the freezer for a fish fry when we see our son and daughter in law, meanwhile we've (he) made a large batch of chili and froze some, had ribs, a pot roast, fried chicken and one dinner out at a a local restaurant. Upon entering the park we were given a dinner coupon, buy one meal get 1/2 off another, we noticed Hodges Corner Restaurant had a Friday fish and chicken buffet, while there wasn't a lot of things on the buffet we couldn't beat the price, $24 including tip and we left with full bellies.Seemed like the place to go on Friday night, looked like most of the town was there.
The only flowering plant we saw don't know what it is but is was sure nice to see some color in the landscape.
During our walks and rides we saw lots of these gourds, they look like little round watermelon, we took one home and cut it open, it looked and smelled like a cucumber.
Saturday evening we facetimed with our best friends in VT, it was so great to see and hear them, they have been such a part of our life for so long and we miss them immensely, made me a tad homesick. Technology is making it so easy to keep up with each other, after spending the last 15+ years with these friends it's nice to be able to see them.
It has been nice to sit still for a week, it's hard to believe it's November, we are enjoying the sunshine and beautiful weather and back home in VT they are getting colder and snow is on the way. Life is good!!
Until next time...
Love the photos from Elephant Butte, it is one of our favorite parks we have stayed in, one of the few we have stayed in twice. Enjoy NM, it has some real gems.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting our blog, Elephant Butte is our favorite so far, considering it's location I'm sure we'll be back.
DeleteWe had inclement weather when we stayed in Elephant Butte and even then we enjoyed it. I look forward to your take on Rock Hound SP. Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteLoved Elephant Butte, Rockhound is nice just not as much to keep us interested.
DeleteI'd say you've been doing a lot if you've been bike riding, walking, reading, soaking up the rays and enjoying some nice dinners. Sounds like a great life.; Really appreciate the NM campground information. Keep it coming.
ReplyDeleteSo far Elephant Butte is the nicest, Rockhound is nice but 4 days here will be plenty.
DeleteYour idea of fishing is my idea of fishing :) We'll let Dave and Rick take care of it. Hope you're staying warm :)
ReplyDeleteIn all the years I've been fishing with Dave I've never had much luck so I take my book and he takes the poles works for us. 83 here yesterday so we've been soaking up the sun.
DeleteGlad you made it somewhere nice an warm, loved the gulf in the fall warm with out all the people.
ReplyDeleteHI Faye, I am catching up on you & Dave. Sounds like a great November. We woke up here yesterday to our first snow fall and this morning it is 21 degrees.
ReplyDeleteHey Al, sorry to hear about the snow and cold. Haven't enjoyed a November like this in so many years, sure beats the ones in VT.
