We headed north from Sun Dial Springs into Albuquerque. On the way we stopped by the Very Large Array (VLA) of Radio Telescopes. They're huge and they got a lot of 'em!
Once we got into Albuquerque, we were able to get together with a friend (and former work associate) and his family. We really enjoyed visiting and sharing a great meal with them. Robert and I worked together in the Wyoming coal industry in the 1980s. Our beards were not so gray then!
Here's Joanie, Robert's wife Toppin and their daughter Jennifer.

While in the Albuquerque area, we stayed on the east side in Sandia Park at our good friends Doug and Rona's. They've got a great gravel lot out back that we shared with Ralph, another friend of theirs.

Doug put Ralph and me to work one day roofing Rona's studio. I'm sold on metal roofing now. All in all, the project went easier than anticipated.

And here we all are, together by the hot tub in the side yard. Rona is holding their 7 month old Chihuahua named Sweet Pea. She's actually a pretty good dog.
