Carlsbad, New Mexico

 We arrived in Carlsbad, New Mexico on October 22, 2022, and what a contrast to Las Cruces, New Mexico. Such beautiful mountains to look at in Las Cruces, Carlsbad is more flat - until you get to the Caverns. Also, we had to drive through Texas to get to Carlsbad, that was interesting. If you have never seen the Guadalupe Mountains National Park in Salt Flat, Texas, they are worthy of your time. We were traveling and only were able to see them in the distance, I do want to go back in that area and hike the mountains.  On our way to Carlsbad, New Mexico. "For the mountains may  be removed and the hills may shake, but My lovingkindness will not be  removed from you, and My covenant of peace will not be  shaken," Says the Lord who has compassion on you."' Isaiah 54:10 (NASB). We were able to chill on Sunday, after watching church we watched football games and really didn't do much of anything. That was nice, I still feel like I am trying to catch up on rest since La

The Crosses

  We had a lovely week in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Las Cruces is the second-largest city in New Mexico and the seat of Doña Ana County. The settlement of Las Cruces was founded in  1849 when the US Army first surveyed the town, thus opening the area for American settlement. The town was first surveyed as the result of the American acquisition of the land surrounding Las Cruces, which later became the New Mexico Territory. In English, Las Cruces translates to The Crosses. Our site for the week. Some of our view. Can you see the double rainbow? Thanks to hubby for this picture. Las Cruces is surrounded by the Organ Mountains to the south; God is so very creative. "Nothing is impossible. The word itself says 'I'M POSSIBLE!'" Audrey Hepburn.   The mountain was named by a Spanish colonist who thought they  looked like a pipe organ. They were first documented in 1598 when  Don Juan de Oñate noted them during his maiden trek over El Camino Real. Amazing looking at the clo

 Had a fun week in Tucson, Arizona. Not as busy of a time as we had in Vegas, so that was nice to rest up a bit. We stayed at the Tucson/Lazydays KOA and it was really nice. It had two swimming pools, areas to practice putting, a fitness center and a restaurant. That is where we ate last Sunday after we were done setting up. We also had a patio site that had a play area for Gus. In over a year and a half, this was the longest Gus had been off his leash. Took him a few days to understand what was happening. I was glad that he had his own place, there were a lot of dogs there. His spot was shaded by a lemon tree. We were able to get some ripe ones and enjoyed them in our ice teas. On the other side, looking out hubby's work window was an olive tree. As we walked around, we also saw a few grapefruit trees. I would love to stay there again . Gus' area One of the lemons we were able to enjoy. Olive Very interesting clouds in Tucson. I loved this rainbow with all its colors. The oppo
