Rebels Rendevous

Hey Sister!  Great to see my sister, Bethany, and her family.  We reminisced childhood memories back in Michigan, grandmas, cousins, uncles and aunts.  Mom's rosary and little prayer book.  Dolls that Bachi made for us.  Dad in the army, on the beach in Florida, CMU basketball star.  Hockey games, Christmas trees, playing outside all day, school stories and no worries. 

    Spent the day in the beautiful sunshine watching my nephew, Christian, rip it up in baseball.  The Lee Rebels.  He's hot!

TEXAS...burgers, fries and cherry pies!

Texas....no relief.  Skyline oil pumps, red dirt.  Penny's Diner, country music, Roswell, home of alien sightings.
Snow fences, cattle, prong horn antelope herds, pancake cactus, the smell of black gold, desert sand, bar-b-q and homemade pies.  Angus, Hereford, brown?...I'm afraid I don't know my cows.  The lone star state.

Sandhill cranes and trains

Get out of Dodge, going mobile!  Down to Albequerque and beyond.  Stopped in a small town called Mountainair (love that name) and ate at Ancient Cities restaurant. Cranes flushed from a marsh; trains chasing us south.  Windy, blue skies, ABO Ruins and ancient pueblos.  Beauty.
