Back in Deming

Well, that is the title of this writing, but the truth is, we have been here for a couple of weeks or so. Sorry all for no pictures. We need to take some. Better get out the camera I guess. So this time we have not visual aids.

I personally have been having fun. I discovered that Deming has a really nice rock club. There "club house" is a rock hound dream home. All for the low cost of $10.00 a year and three dollars a day on the days you are there to use the equipment. Lots of grinders and buffers and a nice place to do silver smithing and as one guy does, gold smith. I have been grinding my rocks off, but I have not used the silversmith stuff. Prices of silver is high right now, and will be for the rest of my life. But it is close to Christmas and I am working on my presents to give now. The presents this year are not silver. So, I can not say anymore than that cause my relatives and friends are a lot smarter than I am and WILL figure out what I am up to. So for now I will take pictures as I go and post them AFTER Christmas.

Chuck has not had it so good. Since he is the one who takes care of all the stuff I do not, he has the wonderful job of fixing broken things. Ones he can not fix, or doesn't want to, he has to pay for it to be done. Like the truck. Now, Chuck can do a lot of things as we all know, and working on a diesel Truck is one of them. Unfortunately, we have no garage. No truckie things to take off that bolt or that big thingy underneath or a way to put the truck on a rack. So he has had to pay. In Oregon something went wrong with the Clutch master clutch thingy. Anyway, he knew what was wrong and told them, they said, "Yep, your right.....that will be $400 plus dollars". NOT EVEN a discount for telling them what was wrong in the first place!!! Oh, well.
Then, here in Deming, something went wrong with the front end and there goes another $700.00 plus. So, as far as I am concerned, there goes over a thousand dollars I COULD of spent. Chucks not smiling either.

However, there is some good things chuck has been doing. Like helping (supervisor position) Gary with his two truck and one tractor garage. He has also been hiding Geo Caches around here also. He has hid two so far, but I think he should hide more.

We both have been doing the doctor thing. I am walking around with a nice size chip out of my nose from where the doctor has done a cancer biopsy. No results are back yet, but it will be fine. Then Chuck and I went to a new heart doctor in Las Cruzes yesterday since we are not going to South Texas this year. WE had to wait FIVE hours in the office cause the doctor got called away on an emergency. This doctor is so dedicated to his patients that he still had people in the waiting room when Chuck and I left at Eight P.M. He see's any patient that will wait. What a nice, nice gentle man this doctor is. I can see why people wait for him. I was so proud of Chuck. Not once did he get upset with the waiting. I think towards the end I was getting more ansey than he was.

Anyway, more test and junk on Monday for me, and on the 14th for Chuck. Then our doctor wants us to get our colons looked up at. Yes Donna, I know, and we are going so now are you happy with us???? Donna is Chucks cousin who has just gone through H-E-Double toothpicks with her colon. She is now enhanced. Unfortunately, not the way she would of chose to be enhanced, but hay, she is with us and that is what matters. If you all got a chance to ever meet Donna, you all would just love her.
So for now We are making Presents, doing geo's, grinding rocks, being with family, teasing Gary (a family favorite pasttime) and helping Pancho with his great mouse/rat hunting.
I will Try and be better and get things on here before months go by. I just get so involved in the moment that I sometimes forget other things. Like posting pictures of our wonderful friends and our kids, grandkids and great stuff like that.
So until I get it together faster and write again so long. Take care of each other and tell your friends and family you love them in your life.
Chuck and DeeDee
