Another beautiful day here in Colorado. Everything is right with our world. Well, almost. I'm down to two Pepsi's and Bob has one beer left. It's time for a run.
We decided to go into Cortez where we'll be able to find a WalMart. Its a 26 mile drive but its a nice day to be in the truck riding.
We found the WalMart with no trouble and stocked up on our beverages of choice and also got in a few groceries.
The best part of the ride? We hit cell service! I made good use of that time and caught up with some family and friends.
This is the campground that Bob and I wanted to workamp in next summer. We've changed our mind. This would be a great place to spend a month but we think any longer than that we would go crazy. No phones as of right now, no satellite TV if you can't get your signal over the trees, 52 mile round trip to go do a big grocery shopping and a bit of a drive to go do "something" since this place is out in the boonies. AND...I talked with one of the workampers today, not letting on that we put our resume out there and I found out that all the workampers are expected to work at least 32 hours a week and in fact during the busy summer months you can count on 40 or MORE. Uh-uh, not for us. We're glad we came here this week and figured these things before we made a big mistake next summer!
On a sad note, today we lost a friend. You've heard me ask for prayers for our friend Joe. He gave a strong fight against the cancer that took him but he was suffering so much at the end that his passing is a blessing. Joe. What can I tell you about Joe? He had a contagious laugh. He was one of the kindest people you'd ever want to meet. If you needed help, Joe was there. He was too young to leave this world as he had just turned 50 this past June. Joe is in a better place now. He's whole and free from pain. Everyone who knew Joe will miss him. He's just that kind of guy.
