Enjoy the remainder of your vacation.  Chill before returning to any work surprises.  

Am visiting family now, and lining up my schedule...because sorta needs to be.  A different niece suggested a pile of restaurants for us to share a meal.  For sure, it's anything but Mexican.  Methinks we had some great meals with MoseySusan.

Like the stuffed poblano peppers with red chili sauce.

So is the trip over?  Is everyone back home, or have you all decided to road trip together for the rest of your lives?

It was an adventure. And I loved every day of it. 

[petitepedal ★]

I am sure the Mosey  family is glad to be back to "normal" after hosting me..and then our long weekend..

@MoseySusan is probably busy putting things back in order..

They have a backyard that is to die for  very relaxing

Me...I need to get groceries after my oil change

It is pouring here with T-storms rolling in and out

Our next trip is a wedding in the PNW then hop over to HI. Meanwhile, there’s a lot happening here. I have a haircut appointment next week. My last haircut was in December. 

[Airehead]

Sounds like a great adventure for all. More pictures if @MoseySusan’s backyard, please. 

[MoseySusan]

[MoseySusan]

Lol…views at the guesthouse near Cuba. If we had a NM version of Escape to the Country…

[MoseySusan]

Relaxing at the winery. Casa Rondeña. We had a bottle of their rosè, which gave me a splitting headache. Maybe it was the wine and the s’mores we ate later after mr built a fire. He used piñon wood and the scent was heavenly. 
 

[MoseySusan]

The little woman in the big woods…😃 @petitepedal hiking at 10.3 K. Both of the adventurers did some badass hiking at altitude. 

[petitepedal ★]

I think all 3 of us got photos of that ol truck..

Slept in a king size bed..and Buzz an Sadie had me on the edge most of the night..Robyn wondered why she had so much room

At first I thought the winery picture as the backyard.   That would have really been the case there.

[Ralphie ★]

I nominate Mosey Susan for a thread naming award.  But why cranky?  Just because it is a fun adjective?

She didn’t say if she was interested in BB or BCS sites. We could have taken photos with a suitcase at the corner of Juan Tabo and Osuna. It’s just up the street and we drove past a few times.

So..the adventure for me ends tomorrow..Gooseberry Falls is probably our busiest State Park..and it is fall color season...We "left" Robyn's  mom at the upper falls..hugged and shared a few tears. Then we visited Two Harbors for retail therapy and Knife River for Soked Fish at Russ Kendall's

Are you just going to leave her there? Why don’t you go back for her?

October marks 1 year since her mom passed..she wanted to leave her at the falls.

[Airehead]

Your great adventure had many facets. 

[petitepedal ★]

Well...I am home..still need to unpack some of the car..but we were up late watching 1883..and up early for a very foggy trip home Sun came out about 9 we arrived at Robyn's about 10:45

I stopped for groceries and a sammie (we did not have breakfast)...a short nap and I will finish unloading an un packing..maybe a run for gas. Close to 3000 miles for this trip!

Truly a grand adventure for all involved and an epic forum meetup!

[shootingstar]

just reflecting that the last time I went on vacation for several days with more than 1 woman,....was about 33 yrs. ago.

All along, if it's been vacationing with another woman, it's been 1 person.  Different good friends over the years.  Not only that, I haven't even gone to any group women social event in any local city where I've lived , for last 20 yrs. 

So really appreciated the good company, patience, and trust amongst ourselves.

It's just how life worked out so far and also because I socialize with several sisters, I didn't have a powerful need to be with more than 1 woman.

Not longjohn though.  Although he does like his wimmin in serial as opposed to parallel, although there may have been a little overlap in the heart of the race.   Might have gotten his Karens or Judies or whatever a little mixed up.

Well, serial dating does work best. 

Example - one time I had two gf's at the same time, started dating them in the same week and kept dating them for a couple months.  After the first month, they both left toothbrushes at my place.

What was difficult was remembering whose toothbrush was in the bathroom, gf 1 or 2.  If I was on a date with gf 2 and gf 1's toothbrush was out, I figured that would not be good.  I always had to remember to run to the bathroom first to make sure the right brush was there.

It worked out, but I was more nervous than I had to be.  Parallel dating is fun in the retelling, but too complicated overall.

@Kzoo, can we unpin this topic now.

I can picture you as Jack Tripper, always working hard to keep up a facade.   I have the toothbrush problems with my fambly.  Really need to label those suckers!  Especially since I have CRAFT disease and remembering which is mine is not a strong suit of mine.
