Ruidoso Trip Day 1-Friday

We left a lunch today for Ruidoso!! It was a fun trip down (across) here. Mom, Shelby, Jenny and I traveled in mom's car. It was my first trip with my new IPod and I loved it!! It's so great not to have to worry about searching for stations to listen to and every other station in New Mexico is Tejano!! Just what I love to listen to! It was fun and great until....


I was trying to get every ones attention that there were two dead cows on the side of the highway outside of Plains, TX. As soon as I turned around to get Shelby's attention..... she threw up! Mom veered off to the ditch and we all jumped out! Poor thing...I told her to take her pants off and she wouldn't because she was on the side of the road and said someone she knows might pass by us!! She was in high spirits! We got all cleaned up and were on our way again. She gets car sick sometimes.

We got here about 3:00 and had plenty of day light get settled in the cabin. We are staying at the Rainbow Lodge RV and Cabin Park. It's beautiful! The cabins are converted RVs with a tiny hide away upstairs....which is where I'm sleeping! Good thing hot air rises. It's about 30 degrees and "raining/sleeting/snowing" outside. The forecast is calling for snowish stuff until about noon tomorrow. Shelby, Michael and Jenny are all going skiing while mom and I sip our hot chocolate in the Lodge and people watch. They are kind of bummed because only 2 runs are open and they kinda suck. It's not worth the money and the long line for the one chair for me!! They have a bar...I can watch the Tech game.

Granny, Pop, Mom and I went out to the Inn of the Mountain Gods tonight to try out luck at the slot machines. I did well! I played on 20 bucks for two hours!! That's good for me! I played a Wizard of Oz theme machine and in one bonus spin doubled my money! Mom has the magic touch though she left with about 3x her money and I left....empty handed. Tomorrow Michael, Jenny and I are going to go play some Texas Hold 'em. I have been playing for fun for about a year and a half now, I should do well. Who knows...I'll update.

It's midnight here and I'm waking up early for the good coffee. Love to everyone. Check back tomorrow night for another update on my random trip to Ruidoso!!

Oh, I've got a joke...

How do you get a giraffe into a 'fridge?




Open the door shove him in and slam the door shut.....How do you get an elephant into a 'fridge?





Same thing??NO......



Take the giraffe out, shove him in and slam the door shut....



All the animals were at a meeting....who wasn't there???



The elephant, he's still in the 'fridge......You are walking along and come to a river you have to cross. The sign says "Crock infested waters" how do you get across??


Take the bridge???No, there isn't one....it's the wild........


Just wade across, they are all at the meeting!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!! Love it!
