We had a blast last weekend when my mom and dad came out to the Enchanted State... or whatever it's called. We started with a visit around town, which took all of 20 minutes, and a stop at Lowe's to get some good dirt for the trees Mom brought! We have five new 12" trees that will hopefully soon be blocking the view of my backyard from the neighbors' house.
Hiking, an excellent cross training exercise, took place each day in a different location. We hit the usual, Cloudcroft, for some excellent old train paths. Saturday was White Sands:
From there we visited Old Mesilla, which used to be a Mexican town, and ate lunch. Next up was the Organ mountains, where we found a trail to an old TB sanatorium,
which was hidden up in the rocks:
Sunday took us up north to Ruidoso, where we hiked across fields,
through tall pines
and to the courthouse in Lincoln where Billy the Kid was sentenced. Or killed a bunch of people. Both?
You may notice our special guest, Flat Stanley. He was visiting from Jeremy's cousin for the week. He likes to dress in Mexican garb.
And now for the ad:
YOU TOO could see all of these great places and more when you come to visit us in New Mexico! And if you call in the next 24 hours, I'll throw in a two-for-one deal at Casa Harwood. Don't wait, reserve your space today!
No really, come visit me!
Awww--it looks like so much fun! But maybe you shouldn't mention the neighbors. He might find you on here. Lifetime: Television for Women.
