This post is for my friend, AJ. She was appalled that I didn't get any vacation pics of myself so I photoshopped one just for her. That means I didn't really stand by this Indian and take a picture. The sad thing is, someday I will look at this and fondly remember standing by this Indian and taking a picture.
Here are some more Taos photos. We synchronize our NM trips with another family we met there. They're originally from Texas, living in Maryland, and they have a cabin near "ours." They also have a boy Collin's age and a girl Cambryn's age. The photos were taken at the plaza, at Out Back Pizza, and at the Rio Grande Gorge.
Several days ago I tried to post these vacation photos along with witty captions and after 45 minutes of work, I ended up with a bunch of error codes and no post. I'm uploading them again but I'm just not feeling the wit at this moment.
Let me just say that we have a dear friend, Howard, who has a cabin outside of Taos, NM and he lets us use it whenever we want. And well, we've "wanted" to pretty much every year since 1992 so it feels like a home away from home.
Some notes: 1) The landscape photo with the bridge is a view from the back deck. Carson National Forest is on the other side of that fence.
2) Howard has toys at the cabin: mini-bike, four-wheeler, hot tub, satellite TV.
3) He also has mom toys (dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer) but I didn't take photos of those. It's a log cabin but we don't exactly rough it.
4) There was a brown bear hanging out in the neighborhood all week but we didn't get a photo of him. 5) An analogy: Cambryn : creek as other kids : Disneyworld.
We just returned from a week in Taos, NM and we brought home a new family member! I'm delighted to introduce Angel ..............
She's such a little sweetheart! She's an AKC mini schnauzer with liver (chocolate) parti coloring, 8 weeks old. Collin and Cambryn named her Angel. And now we have a baby in the house.
