The Last Day in Santa Fe

We went to the Friendship Club House to do back-to-back AA/ Al-Anon meetings. While we were there, Angel ran into Cheryl "Pooh" from Dallas. What a small world it is indeed. We caught up for about 3o minutes on each others lives. Cheryl lives in Santa Fe now and is honing her metal artwork skills from a master blacksmith. I have known her for over ten years; but haven't seen her in at least two.

We went to lunch with our new friends from Chicago, Amy and Kelly. They suggested Pasqual's Restaurant which was fabulous. Kelly is an actor and Amy is a queer cast host for the Windy City Queer Cast. Make sure to check out her podcast.

After lunch, Angel had to go make an amends at the Ace Hardware store. Why you ask? Well, Saturday she discovered that she had three loose screws.... No, her mental state is in tact, but her scooter ramp was hanging on by one screw. She found an Ace Hardware that was busy and understaffed. A dangerous combination that didn't mesh well with Angel's state of mind, at the moment. She had a momentary lapse in judgment, slipped the three screws in her pocket and walked out the door. Loretta was talking on her cell phone while waiting in the car. She relinquished the driver's seat to Angel. (In NM, it's against the law to "talk and drive"). Thankfully, Loretta wasn't an accomplice in Angel's "crime spree." Loretta didn't find out about this until they had made it back to camp and Angel confessed. So......Angel went back today and made an amends. The good news is Angel didn't go to jail. The store manager was shocked someone would come back to confess to taking three screws @ 33 cents each. They waved her out the door and said don't worry about it. Whew....love the tenth step - Angel can sleep with a clear conscious, tonight!

This is our last night in Santa Fe. Loretta flies out in the afternoon and Angel is headed for her next destination: Palo Duro Canyon (That means Hard Stick Canyon - hmmm, doesn't sound too glamorous....) Oh yeah, Angel won't have WIFI anymore either. So, this is the last post from Angel's Camping Travels Blog until she returns home to Austin.
