After happy hour a celebration was held with smoked brisket, potato salad, beans and cake Charlotte and Dennis put it on as a thank you to other Ranch Hands. And a big thank you to Charlotte and Dennis for the wonderful meal. Don and Doris are celebrating sixty three years of marriage.

Thursday evening a group of us are planning to leave The Ranch at 5:00 PM to drive to Carlsbad Caverns to see the bats leave the caverns at dusk. We plan to stop at Subway in Carlsbad to have dinner on the way. We plan to be at The Caverns parking lot at 7:00 PM. The Ranger program won't start until after 7:30 but we want to be able to sit together so will be there early.

About US

(Revised July 2021)We (George & Bonnie) retired to Florida from New York in Nov 96 and in 2006 decided that staying there was not what we wanted for seeing our children and grandchildren. There in Florida were hurricanes and humidity that we wanted to escape from. We made plans to sell, buy an RV (Buster Brown) to travel between our children and grandchildren located in Holly Springs and Apex, North Carolina and Austin, Texas. October 2007 we purchased Buster, our moterhome and in May 2008 our house sold and we started our full timing RV trip going to North Carolina. September 2008 we started our first trip west and found our home park The Ranch an Escapees RV club co-op park in Lakewood, New Mexico. (Lakewood Co-op past president of the board of directors, 2012) We spend fall and spring seasons there in New Mexico. Winters are in Arizona with summers in North Carolina seeing out two of our daughters and two grandchildren. On the way east or west Buster passes thru Austin, TX for another daughter and grandson fix. Bonnie and I are currently retired from Gate Guarding in southwest Texas spending our time in New Mexico. And there is more to this story, we have hung up the keys to the moterhome and purchased a park model trailer and are now in Moncure, North Carolina
