Tonight is our last night at a motel! in Vega, Texas of all places!!! Don't get me wrong-I have loved traveling all over the place, I just didn't like all the traveling!!!
We left Sedona yesterday and arrived in Gallup, NM about 7:30-we didn't have to go that far, so dinner was sandwiches and more chicken for me-this new batch is real tasty!!
I loved being at Carolyn and Dave's home in Cornville(we arrived there behind Lynda, Stuart, Nancy and Frank) after driving down from the Grand Canyon. Lynda was especially nice (of course she missed little Bella who was back in New York with Angie) and she petted me alot and talked real sweet to me-what a gentle touch she has!! No wonder she and Carol have been friends for so long, they have been catching up on everything.
The house was real nice and open-it reminded me of being at Terry's house in Big Bend-alot of dirt and cactus-they even had these stickers that I learned real fast to stay away from!!! (I have gotten to be a pro at peeing on rocks).I liked the deck most of all, it was about 6 feet high and faced west-OH MY GOODNESS the sunsets were spectacular!!! I enjoyed laying real close to the edge and watching Carol freak out!!!
At night, Carol, Barney and I slept on the air mattress we brought from Oregon( I enjoyed it when we were at Nathan's, so I was excited to see it being blown up again).
The next day we went into the town of Sedona and walked around taking pictures of all the fascinating red rock formations and we hiked to a vortex area-I had to stay in the car but Carol came back real fast-she said Lynda hiked all the way up and sat in the middle of everything-she said she felt wonderful!! We went to a nice outdoor cafe and ate lunch -I got to sit at the table again-I ate a whole chicken breast! They must of been as full as I was because everyone was quiet on the way back to Cornville.
Our last day there was spent driving to the town of Prescott (we drove through a great artist town called Jerome, but we didn't get to stop). They all went to the old Prescott hotel and Saloon to eat lunch (I had to stay in the car this time-poo) and it must of been pretty good because they all had to walk around alot more afterwards!! Nice city park though-all shady-and full of dogs!!
When we arrived back at Cornville, Carolyn had arrived from Phoenix with her dog Hubi-he was nice enough, but he was only a pup and I have really outgrown all that "puppy playing" stuff-so I hid in the car until the next day when we left about 11:00. I watched as everyone hugged and kissed each other and OH the picture taking started again-I didn't think we would ever get on the road!! I settled myself into my crate for a long quiet nap and before I knew it they were hauling all their stuff into another motel room and it was all starting over again!!!
Carol keeps saying we are going home but I will believe it when I see it-supposed to be tomorrow sometime.
I really don't know where home is anymore-this whole adventure has been very mysterious to me. Maybe this is how life is now-I don't know what to expect anymore. So, I have started eating every time they do, because I have learned if I don't it will be a long time before I get another chance, that pretty girls really love to pet cute, cuddly white dogs and I always get a bath on Friday!! I guess that is enough to know-eating, loving and being clean!!
I'll sign off on my blog once the adventure is finished tomorrow-it has been fun-hope you had a good time too.........love you all ------Action Jackson on the road to home!!!
