Mule Creek, New Mexico

We are now in frontier country, Mule Creek to be precise. It is a town of 100 people and 61 miles NW of “Silver” city. It is a wonderful place to be and we chose it because Vanessa’s Mom and Step Father have recently retired here. We are now just breathing in the clean mountain air getting ready for the big day.

We have been here three days. We drove to Silver (an hours drive) away and had a meeting with the midwife. All is well. On the way home we were hit by rain and almost stymied by flood waters that crossed the road, but our 4X4 made it with ease as we passed the onlookers who waited until the waters lowered. I just hope it’s not raining when Vanessa goes into labor.

My good friend was supposed to visit us today but I fear he was flooded in and unable to get here.
