FIVE STAR WEEKEND

Friday10 & Saturday11, AUGUST, 2012

GOT MY LIST, HEADING OUT OF TOWN! LEAVE TIME 1:00 PM FRIDAY.

HIT CORTEZ, J FARGO'S IT WAS GREAT.

WENT TO DURANGO! WOW, We had a wonderful weekend WE HAD a motel reservation for the CABOOSE MOTEL...........GOT OUR ROOM Great Motel. THEN WE WENT OUT TO EAT.

We went to the STEAMWORKS and had the CAJUN BOIL. It had the best Alaskan Crab Legs, Shrimp and Crawfish plus Corn on Cob and great Boiled Potatoes. The Andouie Sausage was a touch hot but that was the name of the game, Cajun. Then we had the Cream Cake(cream in the middle layer) with Cranberries and Blueberries in a fantastic sauce.

BACK TO THE CABOOSE! People I am here to tell you, considering it was not a name brand chain, we were not sure, what it was going to be like. But it was fabulous. And the bed was the best bed we had ever slept on. I went to bed, and slept like a baby all night. Slept 11 hours, did not wake up till 8:00. COURSE THE DINNER HELPED, IT WAS FANTASTIC.

Saturday morning, my husband said he tried to tip toe around so as not to wake me up. It was clean and loved every minute of it. We parked right in front of the room, so we did not have to carry luggage anywhere. If you're ever in Durango, remember the Caboose, better yet, reserve a room there for your trip to Durango.

We ate Breakfast at Carters Brewery. Had the Asian Breakfast. I had Scrambled Eggs over Salmon, with Brown Rice and Squashes, Onions, Bean Sprouts, Red Bell Peppers, plus Braggs Sauce.

NOW THIS WAS EXTRA SPECIALLY GREAT. IT WAS ALL SO VERY FRESH. THE SALMON WAS THE BEST. Best breakfast we had eaten ever.

We went to Honeyville, got a few BD and Christmas gifts ME I GOT TWO CINNAMON AND HONEY STICKS, THEY WERE 0.25 CENTS APIECE. LOVED THEM. ATE ONE, STILL GOT ONE TO EAT IN CAR.

Went to SKA Brewery to get a growler filled for a friend WHO WAS BABY SITTING TIVA OUR DOG!

Then went to the Health Food Store. We got Oat Grouts and Bulgher Wheat. Lots of it. My friend said Wheat is going out of sight because of drought so we had to get plenty of Bulghar Wheat, I love Taboli all Winter long. She also said corn & corn meal were going to be in short supply, but we already bought that.

We headed down 491 to FARMINGTON, to get belts and handkerchiefs at Dillards for Don. Then to Wallmart to pick up a few items., yarn for new baby blanket, my husband knits, I already sewed 7 towel sets. Lot's of new baby's this year. Even considering this was the Saturday before School Starts, and they were totally packed out, we had no problem shopping. Everyone was nice and considerate.

Ate dinner, AT THE 3 RIVERS BREWERY, SOME Fish and Chips and headed back to MF.

The electricity was out when we got there it was about 7:00.

Got everything put away, the electricity finally came on and my husband put on his SIRIUS MUSIC, RECORDED MUSIC, He loves, “She played Taborine,” and we enjoyed the rest of evening doing the rest of the little stuff(wash etc), with Music.

He watched some OLYMPICS and we went to bed.

IT WAS A 5 STAR WEEKEND! WE ENJOYED IT TREMENDOULSY JUST NICE TO BE BACK HOME. ALWAYS IS..........BUT I RECOMMEND ALL THE ABOVE IF YOUR EVER IN TOWN, CORTEZ, DURANGO AND FARMINGTON. Course I recommend a nice leisurely homecoming also, minus the electric outage. Sometime after working straight through a couple of weeks, a 2 day VACATION certainly comes in handy to just put you in the right mood, even if it's a short one. Consider this, we live in a town where you have to make lists or you forget things.

Sunday was a day of rest and relaxation, wrote emails to all my kids, like to keep a homey touch.
