We got back from Albuquerque about midnight last night. Our trip purpose was two-fold. We went down for a dog show. Kohlbi showed very well and got reserve on Saturday and a second place in his class on Sunday. No points, but he did well.
The other reason was to visit more with Michael's relatives who came down only for the day of the wedding. It was great to get to spend time with them where we could actually talk. I really didn't get a chance to talk to his brother and sister at the wedding. It was also nice to see his grandparents again. I love the southwest architecture. Kohlbi got to run around a large, flat grassy backyard and had a grand time with the chance to get dirty after two days at the show.
We rode the tram up to Sandia peak and got an awesome view of the city lights at night. The weather was great. The drive through Taos was lovely. The drive from Alb to Los Alamos over the Jemez Mountains was beautiful with the red clay mountain sides and cliffs.
I had about 36 hours of the Big D. Sorry for the pun, but it's given me a whole new definition of toxic waste. I'll say no more. I'm now taking my chemo pill every other day. That was really the only downer of the weekend. I didn't have much appetite and felt kind of wrung out the last two days. Thankfully, Michael did all the driving. Drivers in NM are crazy!
It was a really nice 4-day get away. I'm looking forward to more of those.
Thursday is Round 3, Day 1. Another round and then a CAT scan for some visual knowlege of what is happening.

Just Travelling Down Abby's Road
My final journey in this life is just beginning. I've shared a previous journey a couple of years ago and found blogging to be therapeutic and a way to share with others. Some may find this macabre and others may find it helpful in their own dealings. We are all on a final journey to somewhere.

We think that the drivers in Denver/Boulder are crazy :-). We are very glad that you had a wonderful trip to ABQ and NM. It is such a beautiful place for sure. Sorry that Kohlbi didn't receive any points, but I am sure that he had a great time sucking down all that good cheese and looking cute (he is always cute). Just know that we love you guys and enjoyed the chance to get to know you more last week. It was a real treat for us. Take care and God bless.
Love,
David and Vic
Sorry about Max messing up the weekend. But I hope you remember that you have to make hay while the sun shines. Hopefully, we'll be done in Laramie. (He's starting to blow coat.) This is my first visit to the site and I am impressed by the positive vibes and your great attitiutde. It makes the journey a lot more palatable. My numbers are looking good so I think I may be cured. Only time will tell. It's great seeing you and Mike enjoying each other. Make all your days optimal. Looking forward to seeing you this weekend.
