Grocery Shopping

I love to shop for groceries. I don't like putting the purchases away! But that's what I did when we got home yesterday. Got that all squared away. Gave Boo his snacks. Changed clothes and decided that coffee with a biscotti would be excellent

So after I caught up on the blog yesterday, I made myself some coffee and took myself outside to enjoy it and work on my coupons. I got all settled and From across the way I hear "are you ready for margaritas?". Well sure we are!

I did get my coupon file cleared out of expired coupons. Drank my coffee with a biscotti and then I was ready for margaritas.

Marilyn and Ed brought over ice and the mix and we enjoyed a happy hour with our friends. Boy were the drinks good! need the recipe for those.....

After we drank all the margaritas we split up and came inside. Dinner was the last thing on my mind. But awhile later Jim had to have something so he finished up the sloppy joes. I showered and then the deer came by....to be continued!

Mountaindale Cabins and RV Resort

Yesterday we left Lamar at 0800! I think that's the earliest we've ever gotten on the road. Highway 50 is a delight to drive, except for the feed lots....

Our trip was uneventful and we ended up driving straight through to Mountaindale RV Park, http://www.mountaindalecampground.com/. We stayed here last year and met Marilyn and Ed Dray who are our neighbors this year. When we drove through Pueblo I thought of Ginger and Jesse who are in upstate New York. We met them through Marilyn and Ed.

As we we driving north on Highway 115 our mountains came into view. Almost there!

Can't say for certain, but this could be the mountain the rv park is on.

After arriving we exchanged hugs with the Drays and got busy setting up and eating lunch. I was starved having only a granola bar for breakfast. Once we got the basics done we sat outside with our friends and did some catching up.

After a bit Jim decided to set up our patio. He and Ed got a good start, it still needs the screens

Jim relaxing after dinner. We had a summer shower come through and it cooled down. dinner was sloppy joes.

Pretty purple flowers.

I wonder what this looks like when it blooms?

Some cactus in bloom

We spent a quiet evening inside. Not much to watch on TV. Jim went to bed early and I followed at 2200. The altitude here is around 6800 feet. After our walk we found out we're out of shape!

Jim was up at 0600 this morning and I managed to stay in bed until 0700. We tried to sleep with the windows open last night but Boo didn't care for that idea. He barked at anything that moved and kept waking us up. I don't know what time Jim shut the windows and turned on the AC but it wasn't long before I was fast asleep!

We headed over to Ft Carson this morning to get a base sticker and some groceries. We had lunch, bought our groceries and headed home. This activity apparently exhausted us because we both took a nap!

The skies are overcast and that helps keep it cooler. Our temperature is 79 and the humidity is in the upper 20's.
