September 27, 2013 So here’s a secret for you all. Sometimes I write these posts the day before, and schedule them to post at 5 a.m. So, if you see a post on Facebook indicating that I have posted a new blog, it means I’m still in bed, and the magic of WordPress has postedContinue reading “Party Time”

Dinner Out
September 24, 2013 Some of you may be aware that back in August, the Clerk of Dona Ana County, Lynn Ellins, began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Within days, numerous counties followed suit, either by their own decision or because courts in their area ordered them to. Several Republican legislators in New Mexico, havingContinue reading “Dinner Out”
Social Butterflies
September 23, 2013 This past weekend was quite the social whirlwind! Friday night, as I reported earlier, Scott and I attended the Trails West monthly potluck, where we dined with Mudder & Pops, volunteered to assist with the October Potluck (on 10/20) and have tentatively agreed to take on the January Potluck. Then, Saturday evening,Continue reading “Social Butterflies”
Keep those doggies walkin
September 10, 2013 It rained last night! The morning air was cool when we set out at 6:15 for our morning “longwalk”. But also very humid. Today promises more rain. We’re at the tail end of monsoon season, and in fact, probably past it, but here it is! Every day we go for several walks,Continue reading “Keep those doggies walkin”
Short Note Saturday
September 7, 2013. Mom died six years ago today. I have missed her everyday. Scott and I are off hiking today. (This post was written yesterday, and scheduled for delivery this morning. I’ve done that a few times this week.) Not sure how far, but the climb is about 700 feet. Watch for photos! PrayerContinue reading “Short Note Saturday”
Happy Birthday
Today is September 1, 2013. Mom would be 88 years old today. Happy Birthday Mom! My first thought today was of Mom. Well, ALMOST my first thought! My first thought, as I fought tooth and nail against consciousness, was “Shut up, Nikki, I want to sleep.” It was, after all 5:50. Then my second thoughtContinue reading “Happy Birthday”
16 Years
Moving to a new environment leads to infections; Scott makes lands a wonderful position with a local museum; We celebrate our Anniversary.
Monsoon
Life in New Mexico is, for the most part, settling down. Each room is close to being how the “final product” will look. There are pictures to hang, of course. And a few frames to purchase. And in spite of our best efforts, we brought too much stuff with us, so we’re going to haveContinue reading “Monsoon”
Withdrawal
!–more– Just another short note today. We are now entering our second week without internet OR television. Apparently, the previous owners didn’t use either so we have to be surveyed to determine if we can get it. They won’t have an answer until 7/10. Then it will be up to a week beyond that toContinue reading “Withdrawal”
Brief Note
Good morning all! Just a really short note to let everyone know we made it safely to our new home in Las Cruces, NM, on Monday, 6/24/2013. We’ve been slowly getting settled in since then. It’s HOT here (but it’s dry heat). We haven’t selected an Internet provider yet so we don’t have any service. Continue reading “Brief Note”
