We have been going on what my husband calls our daily adventures. Yesterday's trip was to a town called Springerville.The terrain goes from pines to scrub pines to desert to high desert brown. For miles there is absolutely nothing to see but the ribbon of the road and nothingness. I always feel a little spooky when traveling through terrain like that. Must have been a past life and a fear of the unknown. Have experienced that same feeling when traveling through portions of Montana and South Dakota. The picture is the ruins of the Casa Malpais Prehistoric Indian Ruins dating back to 1250. The site was inhabited until about 1400. The town of Springerville was founded in 1870 and it is 42 miles from Show Low and 13 miles from the New Mexico border (enough history lesson for today). The drive there seemed much longer probably for the reasons mentioned above. When you experience the desolation of the surrounding area I wonder why anyone ever settled there in the first place. But I guess that could be said of any place initially.
Last night we had some adult fun. He began by plying the leather paddle on my backside and the flogger on the front side and backside and then we went on to other pleasures. We both slept extremely well. Imagine that.
This morning I dangled the lexan paddle in his face. He couldn't resist the invitation. After about ten swats, I've decided to put the lexan paddle up for sale. Is anyone interested?
Today was another adventure to the Apache Reservation. That's for another post. Until then see you later for more Aimless Ramblings.
Arizona - after 57 days on the road we have finally arrived at our final destination. Well, almost. We are within 100 miles. In the last three days we've been through two time zones. I'm not sure what time it is anywhere. We are going to be indoctrinated to an AZ summer this weekend. Although this time of year is typically only in the 80's there is a good possibility the first 100 of the season will be here to greet us. They have a name for it but right now it escapes me. HOT comes to mind.
Speaking of hot, true to his word my husband gave me my NM spanking yesterday. The doggin bat has become his implement of choice. Fine by me.It gives a nice sting without too much hurt. I was nicely pinked when he was done. I've recently ordered some new toys. Can't wait to get them and try them out. I had them sent to my friends house whose address we're using. I let her know I was expecting packages so she just didn't think they were hers and inadvertently open them. That would be more explaining than I care to do.
Driving through NM and AZ today we saw some really astonishing landscapes. Having lived in Florida for the last 15 years I've forgotten what it's like to look ahead and see mountains. By afternoon we not only saw them but were in them. Seeing those boulders so precariously resting on one another really gives you a feeling of the grandeur of Mother Nature. It's like the Thunder Mountain ride in Disneyland only it is for real.
The stars tonight are so bright. We are basically out in the desert and the city lights do not intrude as much so they are vibrant. I just want to pluck one and put it in my pocket. It still doesn't compare to the night skies we were used to in CO though.
Bright eyes and happy smiles to you. See you later with more aimless ramblings.
