Recap:
Thursday - Went to Santa Fe. Spouse went to Pearle Vision to have reading glasses remade a second time. Shopped Vitamin Cottage. Made return at Borders and bought new Rodney Yee dvd - A.M. Yoga for Your Week. Was only $10. Did one segment so far and it's good. Has 5 twenty minute segments.
Friday - Got up 6am to go to BESC hiking group which leaves at 8:05am but no one was there. Probably they took July 4th off. We went to Apache Springs and hiked to edge of Frijoles Canyon and back. Saw couple hiking with dog but it was a nice dog. Maybe they were the Utah SUV and didn't want to leave dog in car. Saw a family with child younger than grandson and also a couple. It was good to get an early start. Can't for the life of me remember what else I did later in.
Saturday - Blender had broken. After 2 days of using food processor as blender - not good as it doesn't result in smooth, drinkable breakfast-lunch smoothies but instead makes chunky, chewable smoothies - we went to SF again to buy a new blender. Bought a GE 800 watt blender at Walmart - $67. Two year warranty is hilarious as it sounds like it excludes coverage of everything that could possibly go wrong with it. I'll give it a 3 month trial (time period you can return stuff to Walmart). I'd like a VitaMix but $549 is a bit steep!! Ate lunch at Red Lobster - lunch portion trout, broccoli, asparagus, salad - so delicious (I'm starving as I'm writing this!!).
Sunday - Got late start to Jemez - around 11am. Went to Corral Canyon. Spouse walked 1 mile in and then sat down to eat his lunch while I continued on for my 4 miles RT. Went up Calzada Trail to T intersection and out a little on Peralta-Paliza Trail. Saw 2 groups of cows - a little unnerving. On way back, it rained a little and thundered a little but I made it back alive. I caught up on the computer and will eat my kale-wild rice dish now. I have to get up at 5:30am tomorrow to pick up spouse at RPM and take him to work. His car is acting up. We replaced the windshield wipers on my car today. Actually, the lady at Auto Zone replaced them with ones I purchased there. They were pretty ragged at the end of the drive home from the Jemez in the rain!
Update on 4 shoes ordered from Roadrunner Sports: None of them really helped my feet. I'm going to mail back all four using their label that will charge $9.49 to my credit card for the return postage and insure the package. It's worth it to get the shoes out of my life. I'm currently trying out some Brooks shoes from REI.
