road trip

SO sorry for the lack of posting. took a road trip to new mexico and just didn't have the internet i thought i would. it was so refreshingly different from chicago, with the dry, dry air, dirt and different plant life. and not a manicured lawn in sight. when water is so obviously scarce, people take the initiative to to conserve it, which is also refreshing. watering was only allowed on certain days, not automatically served in restaurants, etc. glad to be home, though and back to work. lots of new invitations to design.... taos had such a high elevation that these aspen trees managed to grow there

    I just had to comment on these New Mexico pictures…I lOVE NM!

    We visited Santa Fe last year, and again a couple months ago. I have a similar pic of the gorge and the aspens…I wish I were there now.

    My husband’s grandparents lived in Los Alamos in the early ’40’s. They lived on the army base when the atomic bomb was being developed. In fact they lived next door to the head engineer- cool huh? I remember my grandmother- in-law telling me stories about all this many years ago.

    Thanks for posting these pictures of New Mexico. They made me smile :-)
