An Irresistible Sunrise, South Monticello Point, Elephant Butte Lake State Park, Elephant Butte NM, April 4, 2009
An irresistible sunrise
In one of those wonderful serendipitous moments I caught my friend Kate doing exactly what I was doing - trying to capture the glory of another New Mexico sunrise over Elephant Butte Lake. Check out Kate's photography on her blog, Kate and Terry - Travels in Cholula Red: Thoughts and musings as we travel in our Lazy Daze Motorhome.
Kate and Terry's website about their life with Cholula Red were a significant factor in my decision to search out a Class C for my first RV and a Lazy Daze in particular. It's been one of my better decisions. Thanks Kate.

The Only Misfortune Of It
The only misfortune of it is that Mr. Jefferson's sayings are never well digested, often extravagant, and never consistently pursued. He has not a clear head, and never pursues any question through. His ambition and his cunning are the only steady qualities in him. His imagination and ambition are too strong for his reason.
