Happy 2011 (I'm trying to get ahead since I've been behind for so long........

Well - it's been awhile but I have turned over a new leaf and will slog onword with the words.  2009 and 3/4 of 2010 have been very good.  I still have about 18 posts that were started and not published and I'll get them done.  We are back in Elephant Butte.  We got here September 13.  It has been hot here until today when it cooled down to the 70's.  I have spent most of the day revamping the blog, working on pictures, putting another coat of "stuff" on the cabinet and generally playing catch up.  I'm getting into "winter" mode: up early, going to the clubhouse to visit/work on a puzzle then mozeying back to the bus to tackle whatever the day brings.  Today I saw a coyote leaving the park.  First one I've seen.  Last fall some idiot was feeding them so they spent too much time in the park killing off the quail which made the roadrunners go hunting in another park.  I do, however, like to hear them yip and howl from far away. :)  This morning, just outside the park I found some quail.  Hmmm they don't look like the quail we "snapped" in Oregon.  I wonder if there are more than one kind.  I'll have to wait until Dave gets here to educate me.  It's late - heading to bed.  When we got here Pat met me with "I'm SO glad you're here.  I'm appointing you Social Direct for the winter."  Oh ok.   She gave me her disks for the calendar/poster program she uses along with the template from last year.  Just take care of it was my impression.
