Quilt shop in Rodeo. Unique isn't it.

Sunsets were like this each evening. We have many more pictures. It is hard not to take more and more.
Well, Slow could be my name, I really mean to keep up this blog better than I have been doing. We spent a week in a very small town called Rodeo. Most people would not know or care where this place is. It sits on the Mexican border in what is called the Boot Heel of NM. The owner is woman named Rusty. She is quite a talker and if you go in the office you are sure to be there awhile. We stayed here last year and enjoyed the area. The sunsets here are spectacular and the days all sun.

This year to my delight there is a new quilt shop. Since I needed fabric for a project that had to be sent home in March I got myself right into this shop. Next door to it is a feed and grain shop owned by the quilt shop owners husband. Also a gun shop out back. Virgil went to visit in the feed and grain and I did my thing in the quilt shop. Both of us were happy.

We did a ride into the ranch lands near by and also crossed the mountains on an interesting road. One lane and lots of rocks and dust. The only people we saw were the border patrol. They are everywhere. The ranches are hugh, more acres than you can imagine any one person having. Some of it must be leased BLM land.

Next stop Benson, AZ for a month. We have friends here from past years stays. Always nice to be welcomed back. Already been into Tucson for dinner with Pat and Harold Shoemaker and their friends from East Jordan. This has turned into an annual event. Always good food and conversation. Well time to get out and do something, more later.
