I arrived in La Veta last evening. Waffles greeted me with a disgusting muddy doggie saliva soaked tennis ball and Andy greeted me with open arms. They show love so differently...


Andy wanted to take some pictures of me flashing....so I did...
I'm now getting back into the rhythm of La Veta. Tomorrow Andy and I will go to breakfast at one of two great breakfast places.

Main Street Diner

or Sammie's

Then Waffles and I will go to the Post Office,

and to Charlie's Market for groceries.
The steam locomotive comes in from Alamosa around noon, dropping off tourists.

La Veta Liquors is on our stop if Andy needs Tanqueray and I want good beer.

Andy and I go to happy hour Friday's at the La Veta Inn (which is next door to Ricky Tims' Quilt Gallery - how we discovered La Veta)


and visit with our favorite bartender, Karen,

and good friends such as C.J and Wayne.
