Most of the rest of the trip focused on Albuquerque.  We took the tram to the top of Sandia Peak and walked the trails for a while.  Sunday afternoon we went to the zoo.  Pretty nice zoo.

We made reservations for the spa at the Sandia Resort and Casino.  When you go in they give you a  card and $25 free money to gamble.  They also enter your name in a drawing.  I turned my free $25 into $54.50.  My friend won $100 in the drawing.  On Monday we went back to the spa and got facials, massages and a foot rub.  We did the steam room and hot tub as well.  Nice and relaxing.  Very nice place.  We ate some of their cheap food and checked into a hotel so we could get up early yesterday to catch our flights home.

Had to get up at 4:30 for my friends 6AM flight so came home really sleepy and worn out.

I got home and was doing my checkbookon line to add up the "damage" and saw that Cowboy had a charge for gas on the debit card.  Apparently they used his card to fill up the car.  Problem is, the card is nowhere to be found.  My sister didn't have it, Cowboy didn't have it, it was not to be found in his clothes, the car or the house. 

In addition I had a letter from a charity I had sent a check to and found out it had been stolen along with all the rest of the checks they had on hand.  Went to the bank this morning and we set up a new account and will close the old one once everything clears.  Will have to check it every day to be sure nothing shows up.  We also cancelled Cowboy's debit card and his credit card.  Both are missing.  Now I have to go through the pain of changing a whole bunch of automatic deposits and withdrawals.  I will have my work cut out for me tomorrow.  I guess I should not have let him keep them in his wallet but I knew it made him feel better to continue to carry things.  He has $30 in his wallet and his car keys but he never has any reason to use them.  It just helps him feel more normal.

I think if I want a quiet peaceful restful vacation will have to go somewhere quiet by myself.  I had fun but I did not come home rested.  I also came home with a bunch of purchases, some beautiful earrings, a bracelet and a beaded necklace.  Also a couple of skirts.  Forgot my hat.  It has now been officially adopted by my sister ( I left it in her car).
