Wednesday March 16,2016 home from ABQ
We are back home in Oshkosh, so we can start unpacking and organizing! But we had a great time in New Mexico. Janet and Steve joined us to help celebrate Marie’s birthday and we had a great time. We visited breweries, wineries, aquariums, historic sites, Sante Fe, Petroglyph National Monument, Bosque del Apache and probably a few other places. Besides eating a lot! But it was all good. We rang in Marie’s birthday with some other of her friends, and managed to keep moving each day. While the weather was cool (we understand Wisconsin was having a very warm spell), even when it was in the 50’s and 60’s in Albuquerque the sun warmed us up quickly. It is a great place to visit and every time leaves me wanting to see more. Chris and I flew in and out of Denver and drove to Albuquerque. The price was less than 1/3rd and we had the bonus of seeing Steve and Nancee, and being treated like royalty at their house (Thanks Rehfeldt’s). Steve and Janet decided to Amtrak it to ABQ, and provided the only downer of the trip. They left ABQ Sunday the 13th and were on the Amtrak that derailed in Kansas. Thank God they are OK, and with some side trips have made it home safely. Enjoy each day!

Bird Watching
in addition to the National Wildlife Refuge being a winter home to 100’s of thousands of birds it has great views
Sounds like you had a great time. Bird watching is something we will have to do more of in Florida next year. You and Marie have a wonderful relationship, that is so nice.Love to see all the pics. Happy unpacking, in your new home. Congratulations.Talk to you soon. Verna & Ron
I want to thank Randy, Chris, Steve & Janet for coming to help me celebrate my 75th. birthday. We had a wonderful time. Saw lots if sights. Visited lots of Micro breweries, winery’s and Mexican restuarants. I think they all can say had enough red and green chili, picodigio, and salsa. They also had sopapillas with honey. Yum. And we’re all glad that Steve & Janet weren’t hurt in the train wreck that occurred on there trip home. Hope to see you all in summer. Marie
Happy 75th birthday Marie. You are a great example of how to stay young.
Glad you had a great time! Can’t wait to see you both at the wedding!
Looks like you had a great time in ABQ. Wonderful pictures. Wish NM were not that far from Switzerland. After more that 150 North Atlantic passings my desire for long range flights is more than fulfilled.
Glad you had a successful trip and could be with Marie to celebrate her birthday. Only sorry we missed you in Florida. Take care. Hope to get together soon in Wisconsin.
