05/11/15 - On 5/8, I got up in the morning around 7:30am and it has been cold since I left Phoenix, so got dressed, did a quick walk to the bathroom and took off since I would have the heater on in the front while driving.  I just got on the highway, when I saw something black roll out from under the passenger seat on to the steps by the door.  Of course since I was settled in to drive for a while, I knew I would check it out later as to what I had misplaced.  Well, soon after that the black thing moved all the way down the hallway and I learned it was a MOUSE!!.  I almost could not keep driving but also knew that I would not be able to catch it.  Finally, the stupid thing found a vent in the front to crawl through and I have not seen it since!!  Otherwise, I had a good trip to Pueblo, Colorado. I got there about 12:30pm at the Walmart.  I took the car off and re-parked the RV and took off to meet up with Deb Carleo at her daughter's boutique.  Deb, Katie (daughter) and I went out for lunch and stopped off at the bakery to say "HI" to Barbara (Deb's Mom) and then relaxed at Deb's house until Katie and John (Deb's Husband) came home.  We then went out for Mexican food which was delicious.

5/9 - Deb and I went shopping for gifts for her niece and nephew who had a 2:00pm birthday party planned.  After shopping we stopped off at the coffee shop to see husband, John and had a wonderful egg sandwich.  Back to the house to wrap the gifts.  We left for the party which had been moved to several different locations because of the weather but ended up in a gym at a local middle school.  We had lots of food and visited with extended family members.  It was a good time.  Deb and I went to the boutique to check on Katie and then were able to help her close up the store.  Since it was Mother's Day weekend Katie had to do some grocery shopping and cooking for Sunday so we helped her shop and do some prep cooking.  In the meantime, Katie is also a wedding planner and she had a 1st cousin that she is helping with wedding plans so we went to Jena's house to sit in on some of the planning.  It got rather late, but still did some prep cooking for Sunday when we got back to the house.

5/10 - We attended 7:30am mass, back to the house to finish some of the cooking since they were invited to a Sunday brunch at some friends.  The brunch was scheduled at 10:30am.  It was decided that I should go get the RV and drive a few miles north to a Safeway parking lot and attend the brunch and leave from there around noon.  I was little concerned about doing everything by myself since on Friday night when I went out to get some clothes and toiletries and could not open the door.  Thank goodness Katie and Deb were with me because Katie finally got it open.  So it was decided that John would go with me in case I had the problem.  There was no problem and I was able to do everything by myself except John helped line up the car and put in a few bolts.  Katie and Deb picked us up at Safeway and we went to the brunch.  The family had a very decorative table set and all kinds of different foods.  It was really neat.
