Heading to the Land of Enchantment

April 26- May 10, 2020

Last week we had a zoom meeting with our small group friends from our church back in Marble Hill, Ga.   It was great seeing everyone and catching up on how they are doing during this crisis.  During the meeting, we mentioned we were moving to Santa Fe the next week and was told by several of those that had visited here on how beautiful it was.  Well, they are right.  You are surrounded by mountains on all four sides of the city and many of them still have snow.  Dennis is in love with the city, the adobe-style homes, and would move here in a heartbeat!  Although I find it pretty here, I just can't imagine me living in an adobe house.  Give me a craftsman style home or a mountain lodge and I'll be good.

Great site with blooming purple Iris flowers!

Our View! Mountains no matter which way you looked!

Sneaky, our welcome greeter! Yikes! And Hopper our Nightly visitor.

I had booked us here at Santa Fe Skies RV Park for just one week and then we were scheduled to move to Denver.  Well...you know what they say about the best-laid plans, they don't always go as planned.  Due to the shutdown, Colorado has canceled out reservations!  Dang, it!  If you have ever camped in Colorado, then you know just how hard it is to get a spot in a state park.  They open reservation dates six months out, so last December at the stroke of midnight I was up making our reservation.  I was so excited that I had gotten one and for two weeks at that!  Oh well!  That just gives us more time to enjoy this awesome park and city.

Art in the Park

No matter where you look in this park there was artwork and blooming flowers.  Each night, we would walk around and check them out as we watched the sunset over the mountains.  Our extra time here was so worth it in the end.

Comments from Dennis:
I still work out here on the road.  Luckily, I have a pretty good network solution in a cell-based router in my office.  But one drawback is that I have to cover 8 am (ET) - 4 pm (ET), even if we are out west. 

Currently, I have to wake up at 0500 hrs and be at my desk working by 0600 hrs (MT).  I am not a morning person!

But when I have the chance to capture these kinds of images, it makes up for it just a little bit:

As far as moving to Santa Fe... I would have to be here during all four seasons before taking that plunge!
