Tuesday - September 29

 Wow, we reached 82 today!    Summer is not over yet!    We worked outside between Ruby and Big Red organizing our stuff before leaving next week.....rain is in the forecast for the next 3 days.    Then we left at 10:30 for Bloomington to meet Marlys for lunch at Egg Republic.    Marlys cried, I cried and we had a 2 hour, 15 minute visit over delicious patty melts (all of us) that she had recommended.    Marlys' long-time friend since the 1960s and our friend for a long time passed away July 5th.   Paul was 90 and such a great guy - our kids went to school together and Paul's wife Margie was a dear friend (she passed away in 2015).    We shared many stories and memories with laughs and tears.    It was a bittersweet visit but so glad we could get together.    Hoping to meet in Florida this winter.

Pat, Marlys, Mark

Stopped at HyVee, Dollar Tree and Binny's and on home.    Quiet afternoon with our I-pads and then after supper, walked around the campground.   New Mexico is a new state.
