It is Wednesday PM and weather is changing from the bright, warm sunny days to a colder version. We are leaving Friday if we survive tonight. Wind is blowing like a hurricane to bring in the cold front. This is the same weather system that dropped 12 inches of snow around Denver. We expect the mountains around ABQ will be white in the AM, but we just hope we will still be right side up! I am about to get sea sick we are rocking so much. Haven't rocked this much since I was on a dive boat in the Keys with 6 ft waves!!

We have enjoyed our stay here. I especially like coming back to Kirtland AFB as this is where the Gospel according to St Nuke was written and while I was in the USAF came here a number of times to see the Word!!
We have seen a different Fall Color show here. Many of the trees are evergreens, but the others turn a brilliant gold hue. Most of the trees that are not on the mountains are along the river and streams. You get a little elevation and you can spot the streams and rivers because they are swaths of green (with gold in the autumn) amid the brown of the plains!

If the wheels are still on the ground after this weather passes we are heading south toward El Paso for a week or so. Will probably stop at Las Cruces and/or Alamogordo for a few days and then at the FamCamp at Fort Bliss, an Army base near El Paso. When we are through there we will move on west to Tucson, AZ and then north a ways to Sedona where we will spend T-day week with some AF friends that live there.
Always at home, no matter where we are!!
