taos

we had a really lovely visit to taos. it is a wonderful town. thank you, ed and kathy, for everything!

we left before sunrise,

and had a beautiful drive.

we ate ice cream,

played at the park,

went swimming at a swim park,

and ate some really good desert

(some of us felt it was so good that one fork wasn't enough.)

we also visited the taos pueblo.

it was amazing.

the people who live here have lived here, literally, forever.

they live very much as they have all along.

it is pretty remarkable, really.

the girls had such a great time with their grandparents.

and glenn and i had a lot of really awesome time together. for one thing, we had a room all to ourselves. (ooh la la.) we went for walks together, hit the consignment stores, and went out to dinner. and, the taos spa was right across the street from our hotel, so we worked out everyday. we also took full advantage of their wonderful hot tub. it was so great. it just seems that we rarely get so much time together these days.

on the way home, we stopped to check out the "earthship biotecture" headquarters. very fascinating.

sustainable living at its finest. all of the adornment here is from aluminum cans and glass bottles.

hope you are all doing very well. tomorrow, patty is teaching me how to work with pmc, something i've wanted to do since silver sparrow designs first started. i am very excited!
