This weekend was Aspencade, in Ruidoso. They were expecting 30-40,000 people.....a small Sturges, but not nearly as far to drive! The natives stay home this weekend and all the restaurants and bars get taken over...The bikers have a parade the first day, it was eleven minutes long!!

On Sunday, there was a terrible wreck in our neighborhood....apparently, one of the bikes back wheel dropped off the pavement, lost control and flipped....heard later that 2 people went to the hospital, one careflighted out. Anyway, it's all over on Sunday, so the bikes are slowly leaving town..
We're headed to the Fall Nationals - the drags in Ennis, Tx. seeya!

We decided to come to the cool mountains, after it hit 107 in Texas, so we've been here for a couple of weeks. It's been very peaceful and entertaining just sitting on the deck, in the afternoon, watching the Turkeys with babies, the deer with babies, and the myriad of hummingbirds! While we have been here, we have been having the deck enclosed so we can keep it warm in the winter. Jimmy has been painting and cutting wood getting ready for the glass doors. They came and put in the windows, then the HUGE glass doors, custom made so that we can access the bay doors of the bus arrived.......really beautiful!
