We went for a drive yesterday out toward Rockhound SP. Actually, we went to the State Park, drove around,just checking things out. It has been a while since we were there. We also found a new restaurant on hwy 143 about a mile from the intersection of Rockhound Rd. and Hwy 143. It is a brand new building and looks good, they specialize in BBQ. The also have a paintball course behind the restaurant and behind a tall fence.
Didn't see any stray cattle or horses which have been wandering around out that way. It is open range, but the news reports horses running into cars and vice-versa. One young man driving a small pickup hit a horse, killed himself and the horse.
The new Hampton Inn is nearly completed and will open next month. It will be the tallest building in Deming.
Tonight they have the burning of Zozobra in Santa Fe. It is an annual tradition and I love it. People put their problems, troubles, mortgage notes, etc. Write down things you want to get rid of and put them inside this large character made with cloth and wood. He is set on fire and all your troubles disappear. He is 50+ feet tall.
Have a good Sunday everyone. :)

Nice. Well, except for the sad story regarding horses. And isn't it great to live where the tallest building in town is the new Hampton Inn? :)
The burning of the Zozobra sounds like a lot of fun. I imagine there's a pretty big turnout for such an event. It's nice that you and Floyd get to go for a drive like you do and check out the scenery and restaurants. Hopefully, Slim and I will be doing more of that now too. It's so nice not having the shop open and having to be so tied down. I wish we would have made this move sooner. Have a great day my cyberspace friend!!
