What happened next? We ate.

After Chris took off, the rest of us flew to Gommie and PaLo's in Albuquerque, ate homemade pies (cherry and lemon meringue), cookies and much many more good foods. Yum, how much we need to exercise now! We bought Gunner new jeans on sale (woo hoo) and didn't shop with Lauren at all (unheard of but she was sick the first part of the visit). We drove up to the Jemez Mountains, boys in the truck and girls in the car, and saw beautiful yellow leaves on the cottonwoods and aspens. We hiked to Jemez Falls and looked for elk in an immense caldera, but they were resting in the shade somewhere. And, of course, watched birds and walked in the favorite neighborhood on the other side of the park. Oh, and don't forget the three-night-long dominoes tournament where Gunner started strong, Lauren surged ahead, and Gommie prevailed. Yes, I played too, but we're not talking about that.

Now we're back to work and school and trying to get into a schedule. It's not easy but we're working at it. God be with us and with you.

Good diversion. Sorry I missed the hike. The dominos saga doesn't surprise me. Everyone knows Gunner is new at dominos, Lauren's too honest, and Gommie cheats! What were you doing Linda? My guess is you were having a night cap. - Chris.
