White Sands and Riudoso

Our good friends Deb and Dave Martin are heading to Florida to get their boat ready for a trip to the Bahamas. They invited several of us to go to Riudoso and White Sands with them the first Monday in March. So we climbed in with the Jones' from Nebraska and Maynard from Minnesota and headed out. The BEST bar-b-que around is this restaurant - owned by friends of Dave & Deb. What a treat that was. Then we went to their house. They have a horse transportation business and their son has horses. It was beautiful.

We then stopped at the Horse Museum by Riudoso Downs. Yes, that is Debbie. Enough said. These horse statues were awesome!! We then headed down to White Sands. It is gypsum; is pure white and cold. You can even rent saucers and go sledding - while having a picnic and wearing shorts!! It is down for a trip when the kids visit in December.

And "three stooges and a dip"!! What a day!! AWWW; this is the life!

Yes - we are definitely going to miss these folks!! O! Wait! Maybe we can gather again somewhere - isn't that what full-timing is? Hmmmmm! Something to ponder.

This group also makes up 90% of the Thursday Pool Team! (And Maynard and Cliffee better not practise this summer either!!!)
