Snow Canyon in the red rock country of Utah

Sunrise in the Bosque

Festival of the Cranes in the Bosque del Apache

4 months oh no!

It's been 4 months since I posted here, good grief.  Well, Facebook is mostly to blame, and the fact that I was so busy with work and pet sits over the summer.  But I enjoy this so here goes.

Some highlights of the past few months:  a fabulous trip to Utah with my sister, another short trip to the Festival of the Cranes at the Bosque del Apache below Albuquerque, visitors from Pasadena for Thanksgiving, a new one-day-a-week job at my favorite bookstore, and now it's finally snowing.  I spent the morning baking biscochittos (sugar cookies with anise, the New Mexico state cookie) for the holiday party today at Mabel's, listening to the three tenors sing carols, drinking eggnog with whiskey, stoking the fire, and gazing at my pretty little Christmas tree.  I was supposed to start an overnight pet-sit today but they postponed it till the snow clears.  And I've got to find Cadbury's little snow booties-he hates getting his feet in the snow!
