Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity-Jig

We enjoyed our time with NM family so very much, and there was not a dry eye when we said goodbye. Thought I'd share some pics from the trip. Much of my time was spent nursing young children who were sick almost the entire time we were away, but we did manage to get out and do some fun things...

like burying cousin Sep at White Sands


and walking barefoot in the sand!


We celebrated 80 years,


and went hiking in the Organ Mountains on a trail to Dripping Springs


where you can see the remains of a hotel and livery


and a sanatorium that was built in the mid 1800's.



We loved the company


enjoyed the views,

played some poker, did some reading and relaxing and drank in the beautiful sunshine. But in the words of Dorothy from Kansas, "There's no place like home."
