El Paso

Thursday we took the pups to Banfield and they wouldn't take them. Here in El Paso apparently there are no walk-ins, only appointments. They couldn't be seen until December 20th, so we left.

Next we went to Wal-mart to pick up Nancy's prescription. On Wednesday the doctor had called in her prescription,  on Thursday we waited in line for 40 minutes to pick it up, only to be told Nancy wasn't in their computer (she IS in every other Walmart system, so why not this one?). So her information was added to THIS computer system, and then we were told it wouldn't be ready until Friday . We stopped at What-a-burger for lunch, then came home.

Friday I woke up with a killer headache and stayed in bed until after noon. Even with the headache we picked up Nancy's prescription, only a 15 minute wait this time. Then came home and did nothing.

Tonight we went to Cattleman's Steakhouse at Indian Cliff Ranch, which is about 15 miles east and 5 miles north of our campground. It is a 430 acre ranch situated in the Chihuahuan desert with a small zoo; partridges, ptarmigans, golden pheasants, fancy ducks, peacocks, long-horned sheep, bison, etc. 


Oh yeah, and fantastic food. We both had shrimp and filet mignon, baked potatoes with butter, sour cream with chives (Mark) and bacon chips (Nancy), sweet mushrooms, pineapple coleslaw, spicy ranch beans, bread and butter,  apple pie ala mode, and drinks, and it was considerably less expensive than that "ritzy" place in Truth or Consequences  whose food was tasteless and chewy. Cattleman's food was delicious!
