We
both managed to sleep soundly last night with the help of an Extra
Strength Tylenol that helped to ease our Shoulder Pains.
When I first opened my eyes it was barely 6:00 so I convinced myself
there was no place we had to be in a hurry and reopened them just
before 7:30.
After
opening all the Window Shades downstairs I managed to get
things ready for breakfast before checking out The
Weather Network. It was barely 50 F (10 C)
so I appreciated the warmth that my Housecoat gave me. I was
also checking temperatures in our next scheduled stop when Kathy came
down to join me.
In the Right Corner you can see our present Site Number. The Travel Trailer is on the Site we were assigned. |
After
breakfast we got caught up on our morning reading checking the News,
Family and Friends through E-Mail, Facebook,
Messenger and of course the Blogs. That was when we
found out that Tom and Deb from
Celebrating the Dance were also in
Roswell but were taking a
Day-Trip. We left Comments so that we could possibly
get together later after they got back.

After
accomplishing a few tasks and doing more planning we finished our
inside chores before getting things going in the Kitchen. When
we went to Walmart in Deming
on Wednesday to get out of the Wind we had looked for some
Topical Pain Relief for our sore Shoulders. A woman
there told us that Fresh Pineapple helps Arthritic and
Joint Pains. Since we both enjoy eating Pineapple when
we were in the Grocery Section we got one to come Home
with us. While I cleaned it up Kathy was busy making
Toasted Cheese Sandwiches to go with the last of her
Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup. It tasted great, warmed us up
and satisfied our appetites. We finished washing the Dishes
and were heading out the door by 12:00.
We like this Church because it still appears to have Old Time Charm with Modern Materials. |
Slowly
cruising (25 MPH Speed Limit) up Main
Street we saw lots of the UFO Shops we had seen the
last time we were here that had Closed Up. Luckily the main
UFO Museum was still open for business. There were quite a few
people that seemed like they were lost on which way to go (Probably
First Timers to the Town of Roswell).
To get away from that mayhem we just kept going stopping at different
places along the way. Before we knew it we had driven all the way to
Walmart on the north end of Main
Street.
These are not your normal Strawberries but |
It
was after 4:30 when we were leaving that we suddenly both felt very
hungry from all the walking we had been doing. The answer to our
dilemma was at the end of the parking lot in the form of Panda
Express. We have eaten at their locations in the past but
not this winter. The last time that we had eaten out at any kind of
Chinese Food Place Lin’s
in Yuma. We got our usual
moderate portions but because we have been cutting our Portions
we had to take some Home for
another meal. Another thing we noticed about this location was that
it had a Drive Through Lane as well as the inside dining.

Back
Home at the Town
and Country RV Park after getting things inside Kathy
needed to rest from all the walking we had done. I went outside to
check out one of our Trailer Signal Lights that was no longer
working. It was an easy fix because I had a Spare Bulb in my
Bins. When our RV Dealership
had done repairs to the Trailer Two Years ago just
before we pulled out to head south again I noticed that the Lens
was not sitting properly and had filled with Water. Even
though I had dried it up then the damage had already started. Today
the wire contact on the Bulb had corroded off so we no longer
had a signal on that side but because it was hidden by the Bicycle
Cover and I installed Signal Lights on our Bicycle
Carrier we were safe.
Kathy
wanted to rest so I went to the corner Gas
Station to top off our Diesel
rather then waiting until the morning. I had just finished
fuelling when Deb called to verify that we were okay for a visit but
they were still about Fifty Miles away. No Problem.
I
went Home where Kathy was already
cleaning things up. As the time got closer I drove back to the Gas
Station so I could lead them through the Park
to our Trailer. When Deb and Tom called to say they were approaching the Intersection
I had described and could see the Truck I started heading for
the road. When they stopped at the Traffic Light for some
reason it would not change for them to come through the Intersection.
They had to turn north on Main Street
and turn around to come back. They could not have driven a Hundred
Feet up Main Street when the
Traffic Light would have allowed for them to come through.
Nasty looking sky all day long. |
After
following me in Tom and Deb parked
behind our Trailer while I circled around to back in ready to
hook up in the morning. Every time we get together with these
Wonderful Friends it seems like we have been away for years
and the conversation never stops because we are so comfortable
talking to them. It must be that by reading One Another’s Blogs
we feel like we have known them forever and it is like they are part
of the Family.
They say the Aliens are taking all the good jobs in town. |
Before
we knew it was after 9:00 so it was time to say our See
You Down The Roads
and Safe
Travels
again. Neither of us took pictures but that's okay. Unfortunately that will have to be another trip because we are
leaving in the morning and are heading in a different direction to
get back to Ontario
then they will to get to Michigan.
Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

It's nice when you forge friendships like that. Safe travels today.
ReplyDeleteI think your clouds went all the way to California. It's been overcast and rainy here the last couple of days. Safe travels as you head on East.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your shoulder pain! Never heard of a pineapple helping arthritis but certainly worth a try! Those strawberries look yummy! And of course a visit from Tom and Deb..does it get any better! :) Travel safely today!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good day except for the shoulder pain. Hope it goes away soon.
ReplyDeleteTom and I are certainly glad it worked out that we were able to get together for a visit. (Even though that traffic light did not want to let us get there...lol) As always, when we see you both, it was enjoyable to sit and chat. Safe travels and looking forward to the next time we see you down the road.
ReplyDeleteWe look forward to the next time as well! Keep safe and enjoy the ride.
