Tuesday 24th December 2013…Day 9!!!

Sound like a broken record …had a good sleep woke up to sunny blue skies and a bit cool!!

This morning my hostess Frances invited me to go on a local hike with her and her dog Maggie and we were on this trail just after 10am

We were heading into the lower part of these mountains

Still lots of snow around but I was hiking in a T shirt…

Really beautiful scenery

This is an active missile base..

Yesterday I saw petroglyphs that were thousands of years old..today maybe 24 hours!!!

This is knick named an alligator tree

Just beautiful!!

The last shot of a great hike!!!

I was home early for a change so had some tea and read and relaxed and then went to do a major shop and the plan was afterwards to have my first Whataburger!!!

Well did a good shop but at 7pm when I got the burger place they were just closing I tried to find an open restaurant and it took a while being Christmas eve and I finished up at Applebees…it was good.

So now sorting out the stuff I bought but I feel the urge of the hot tub calling me the thrill of having hot jets on my back, feet, shoulders and tush too much to pass up!!

I want to thank my new readers and my older readers, older as in years reading and not age…I appreciate you all.

I also want to take this chance to wish my Family in England a wonderful holiday season and a year coming up with great health and love and happiness!

Janet, Mark, Sam, Darren, Andy, Claire, not so little Tom and my Bro Malc……love you  and so proud of you all!!

Want to say hello to my friends and thank them for their always positive support and friendship

Finally those special people in my life…you know who you are and you also know what a great role you play in my life…thanks for being there for me…..supporting me..and just for accepting me as I am…love you all.

Blessings and Merry Christmas!!
