Jumping and skating

Our daughter, Emily, Rosalie, Elizabeth with Grandma and Stephen in the background.


Here is the little guy learning to roller skate.








We were up for breakfast and a shower. This was to prepare for our day at the skating rink. What an interesting day. Emily took three kids in the Mercedes while we had the two girls with us. First the Mercedes would not start. We jumped it and she drove two miles. It died at a corner and a policeman pushed her across the intersection. We turned around and gave her another jump. She drove another mile and died at another light. We jumped her again and decided to take that car home. She nearly made it when it died again. She was far ahead of us and two strangers pushed her to the side. Once again we jumped her and she made it home to the garage. We think it is an alternator problem. We quickly jumped into the motor home and went to the Wal-Mart to drop off some paint color requests. I went in and bought two pairs of jeans and a sweatshirt. I left a box of clothes we were to bring with us back in Texas, I guess. I can’t find it anyway. We left there and went to the skating rink for two hours of skating. Afterward we went to the RV place just down the road and got on to the parts guy about checking on the Koran stove top. We also dumped our tanks. We went back to Wal-Mart to get the paint. I also tried on the jeans I had not before and exchanged them for a shorter length. We returned home to prepare dinner. It was humus, garbanzo beans, a cabbage, tomato and onion mix, and a no bake cookie. It was the first “edible” meal we have had here. We don’t know what is down the road. We enjoyed a game of Texas Hold “Em and then went to bed. I think we have the heat problem solved in that the power strip we were hooked into last night had a circuit breaker built in that disconnected. We moved the extension cord to the wall outlet. It did get quite chilly last night. Pieder, Emily’s husband, has been in Albuquerque and will fly home later tonight. He will install an new alternator tomorrow before going to work.
