2017: Headed into Albuquerque and stopped at REI to replace Ashley's leaking camelbak, then circled over to a coffee shop to get some work done. Really cool place made out of shipping containers pieced together. There were a handful of businesses all sharing a courtyard, each of 2-4 containers. Definitely worth going back to. After coffee we stopped for lunch and then headed into Santa Fe (through random snow flurries) to Karen and Craig's house for a visit! What a delightful place! We all went out for supper at a nearby restaurant (delicious!) and sat up chatting longer before heading to bed.
2018: Work day. Started the morning at Durango Coffee and then headed to thestore. Just me for the day and the software didn't load right. Finally gotit working and Jeramiah came in for frame shop stuffs. Super slow day. Ashwas running a bit late due to a meeting so we went to Steamworks for supperonce she picked me up. Home for the evening.
2019: Up early and headed into town. I dropped everyone off at the Yellow Carrotfor breakfast and headed in to put up the Town Plaza sign. Got that takencare of, checked in with Kristen and then back to the Carrot. They had aburrito for me to eat, which I noshed on while driving back to the trainstation. Picked up our tickets at the counter and we got on the train.Beautiful day to ride up to Cascade Canyon and check out the scenery. Weate at the stop and walked around for a few minutes before heading back toour seats. Back in town we grabbed drinks and listened to a bit of livemusic at Ska before heading home and playing a few more rounds of Rummikub.
2020: We went for a drive up to Vallecito Creek Campground after a walk to thelake. Nice to get out - the trailhead parking was full an the campground'sstill closed (as we expected, probably not open this time of year). Homeand leftovers for supper. I got a starter tub made for the garden and puttomato plants in there. Downloaded all of Andrew Tischler's epic landscapecourse videos.
2022: Norma made quiche for breakfast. After eating, Lily and Ashley went to theTreehouse. Norma, Jim and I followed later in the Jeep after gettingshowers for the day. Fun at the Treehouse then home for lunch and a nap. Ipayed credit cards and updated the net worth tracker. Ashley worked in thegarden a bit, double digging part of the second bed. After Lily woke up andhad a snack, she and I headed to the library for some fun - played at theplayground, picked up two books that were on hold, and then walked aroundthe garden. Home for supper - Norma and Jim fixed breaded baked chicken andzucchini fritters - really tasty! We got Lily into bed while Norma and Jimcleaned up, then Ashley and I went driving around Bayfield and ForestLakes, chatting (everything was closed so no date night options). Read fora bit before heading to bed, back on the air mattress in the living room.Stupid ants!
