Made it to Clayton, NM. We drove through lots of rain today. It is only 48 degrees outside right now. I did not bring cold weather clothes. May need to find a store and get some warm socks and a heavier jacket. The forecast is for sunny skies and warmer temperatures the next couple of days.
We stopped for breakfast at the Whistle Stop Cafe in Walton, KS. Kathy and I had discovered this place on my many trips to my foot doctor. They have wonderful home-cooked soul food. We had lunch at a burger stop somewhere. My body did not like me eating white flour though. I had a hamburger. I only ate half the bun and some onion rings. Not a good idea to have onion rings. We made a gas stop and a couple of potty stops too.
Glad we didn’t try to go all the way to Santa Fe today. I think the cloudy skies and rain made all of us tired today.
We had a big wind storm come through during the middle of the night last night at home. I had my bedroom window open a crack and the wind was strong enough to blow out the screen from my window. I thought a picture had blown off the wall. I got up and discovered the screen had blown out. I mopped up the water and then toured the house to make sure the rest of the windows were closed.
When I went back to bed I dreamed the chicken coop had received damage and I lost part of my flock. It was the weirdest dream as I remember telling myself it was only a dream and not real. Then I would go back to sleep and continue the dream. Not sure what universe I was in for a while last night. I seemed to have been in two different ones at the same time. I don’t often remember my dreams but this one is still vivid in my mind.
I was relieved when I went down to the chicken coop this morning to find all was well. Their straw had gotten wet but no damage had been done.
Laura had gotten to my house before the storm blew through yesterday afternoon. I about peed my pants when one of the thunders went off. It was very loud and the Lightning was sharp and close. The wind blew hard for a bit but no damage was done that I am aware of. Grateful I escaped the tornado stuff that was dancing around me.
Tomorrow we will drive into Santa Fe. We can’t check in until 4:00 so may do some sightseeing in Santa Fe o
