New Mexico things



Fall in New Mexico means to me the smell of roasting chilies wafting through the air, balloons in early October, red chili ristras, the smell of pinon wood burning in fireplaces, and beautiful blue skies and cool nights.

Yesterday HW2 needed a red chili fix so we went to Garduno's for lunch, and I can report that she is much happier now. When you go to a restaurant here the question is frequently, "red or green?", which also considered to be the "State Question." What they are asking is how you want your chili. We are split on this question as I prefer green, and HW2 prefers red.

This morning we went outside of the motor home and could see many balloons coming our way. Some of those pictures may even get into this blog. The sky is blue and the air chilly enough to require a jacket. Wonderful!!!!!

We have been having fun with the grands. Andy is a kick and he loves to play especially when he gets you to join in. Michelle and Kait are dears with lovely smiles. Michelle delightedly helped HW2 make dinner last night. As we sat around the table we managed to tell stories of their dad and some of his adventures when he was young. The kids love to hear stories about their parents. We are having a wonderful time and today plan to take Michelle shopping for her birthday. She wants boots for the winter months. Happy travels.
