Albuquerque It Is!

We arrived in Albuquerque about noon and started unpacking the car. Marlene had left us a key so we could get in as they were either at work or in school. We got unpacked and then put together the display racks for the Artfest and will take them down to the exhibition hall tomorrow. Everything seemed to arrive in good shape, and that is good since glass is hard to repair when broken. I must admit that the trip across north Texas and southwestern New Mexico is boring and seems to be very brown and dusty at this time of the year. We did see three prong horn antelope as we drove along.

Set up occurs on Wednesday afternoon and all day Thursday. The show opens on Friday and continues through Sunday. We are looking forward to a good show and seeing old friends and family. Hopefully, the visiting will not get in the way of any selling, although I would rather visit than sell. Our friend Arthur called and was leaving Albuquerque as we arrived. How disappointing, as we had hoped to see him here. We last got together on his family's island in the summer. We shall miss visiting with Arthur and have to make arrangements to see him at another time and setting.

Now to spending some fun times with Jerry, Scott, Marlene and grands: Kait, Michelle, and Andy. We purchased pie for dessert tonight and muffins for breakfast as an added treat since Marlene left us a note to say that she had taken care of dinner.
