We went to an Easter breakfast buffet at a hotel in Elephant Butte Campground this morning. Surprisingly good! The lake is actually a reservoir formed by a dam on the Rio Grande River. It is named Elephant Butte because of a large rock formation that with a lot of imagination looks like an elephant head. Roger had to check out the campground and dam. Not much beauty in this area of New Mexico – just hills of dirt, meager dwellings and junk everywhere! Roger rode his bike to the “Geronimo Museum” this afternoon – I passed!
Stories from abroad:
Heather met the head of Samantha’s school at a social function and the “principal” told her Samantha is doing really well learning the local language, Bahasa. A few days later, a repair man was at the house talking with Renu, the maid, in Bahasa. SK was nearby and he asked what her name was and how old she was - Samantha looked up and said “My name is Samantha and I’m 4.” They both were astounded to realize she understood their conversation! Guess it’s like us and Spanish, we don’t know it but, can understand certain words and phrases when we hear them.
The joys of motherhood:
Samantha wet her pants giggling at a cartoon while sitting on the couch. While Heather was cleaning it up, Emily was in the kitchen decorating the wall with a red marker! While Heather was scrubbing the wall, Emily got her bib, dunked it in the toilet, which SK had not flushed, and dragged it into the kitchen to help clean the wall! Some days you just have to earn your Mother’s Day gift!
