Back in the Saddle Again!

Well, it wasn't exactly a saddle for me -- more like six hours stuffed in a carrier under an airplane seat, but ... whatever: we're back in our casita in Madrid, New Mexico, and very happy to be here although kind of tired. We weren't sure we were going to make it, they had us held in Baltimore because of the weather out here, but they let us go

Our friend Thom came by earlier and turned on the solar power and the gas furnace, so we came in to a warm house that we could brighten right up. Dad turned on the water and it also came up, so we are 3 for 3. (Dad is going to let the water dribble tonight because it's going down to the teens and he's worried about pipes freezing.)

Right after dinner, I found one of my old bones from last visit and as you can see, I am happily getting to know it again!

p.s. Just before we came out, we watched the original True Grit with John Wayne to get us ready for watching the new True Grit, which is shot in New Mexico
