In Loveland for a week.

What a day!  We left Alamosa about 10:30 (after a western movie) and headed down 17 to 285.  We were sure that we could use this as an alternate route to get to NM.  Not.  It would just be too stressful.  For me. And Ken.  The trip was just rough enough that Ken was exhausted when we got to Loveland.  Also the climb just goes on and on and on.  3000' of 5-7% grade over a ten mile stretch was the straw that made Ken say nah - I don't think so.  We were very  pleased with how the transmission worked  (correctly for once :)  )  Ken had Norton's flush the transmission last summer and put Royal Purple in it.  Awesome!   We got to Loveland RV Resort about 5:00 and are settled in here for a week. (Yes a change in plans but that's okay.)   Ken was able to take a couple of pictures as we drove along. 

I'm going to go check out the pool shortly and maybe I can get Ken started doing his walking early.  He went to the doc before we left and we were SO please to see he has turned many of his "numbers" totally around and with the 23# weight loss he is doing good.  This summer I'm going to have Humana pay for his membership at the Rec Center in Campbell County so he can walk in the pool. 

 Finished my 8th small afghan and have started on my Christmas Table Runners.  I don't think I'm a runner kind of gal....................sigh!  :) Maybe I need more patterns.........:)  NOT
