Santa Fe and other things.

Our friends have left and gone on toward their next destination....was good to have them here for a while and we ran our legs off being tourists.  Spent two days in Santa Fe again this week and we just are in love with that area and mostly with family there.   Missing family back East and the little ones, who are growing up so fast!  Amanda is already a young woman ...time...time just marches on...

Spent today catching up on laundry, cleaning, washed the car, got groceries, all that "fun" stuff.

Need to get back to sewing....have some projects in progress and am thinking of 'something' that hasn't come together yet..still in my mind rattling around up there!

Blessings to each.

Rain, rain, go away!




Our friends from Delaware are here for a visit, and we are running around like tourists.  Tea and tour at Glen Eyrie Castle, Cripple Creek and Victor area for ghost towns and gambling at the casinos in Cripple Creek....wolf preserve visit, Manitou Springs, just all the areas we haunt....tried Eleven Mile Canyon but the heavens opened up and dumped more rain in one day than ever recorded here in the Springs....ick!!!!  Truck threw a stone and cracked my Murano's windshield, so it's in the shop for a new windshield. We were running around in the mountains yesterday so didn't pick it up in time. Get it today...

Had a great Lajes Azores, High School reunion in Santa Fe last week.  Was so wonderful to see the chums and listen to their lives and adventures and just "be" with them all.

No sewing going on this week or two with company but have two projects on the planning board for when time allows again.

Went to RV America and checked out small 5th wheel campers vs our expandable. Hmmm....things to think about!  Might have to get a part time job!

blessings to all.
