Monday, Oct. 4th

We are now in Albuquerque NM until Sunday. Our time at the Balloon Festival starts on Wednesday.

Last week, we spent with my brother in Phoenix and Prescott. It was unusually hot in Phoenix, but Prescott was wonderful and cool. We spent our days relaxing and 4 wheeling around the mountains. Sure am glad, my brother knew his way. I was lost at all times. We returned to the heat of Phoenix on Saturday and celebrated my grand-nephew's 14th birthday. Sunday morning, they all came by the RV to see it and to say good-bye. It was so great seeing everyone again. We left later than we planned on Sunday so spent last night in Gallup, NM at an Elks club. We are at another Elks club now until Wednesday.

As Jack said yesterday, we are now heading in that eastward direction. So far, we have covered 5,500 miles on the RV, plus some on the car.

Word on the new a/c unit is not good. Latest shipping date will not get it here in time. Since the weather has cooled we can survive without it.

Can't wait to get some balloon photos to post on this.
