Donut In the Sky...with cactus

The cactus has been in the family even before my time -- more than 30+ years. It was the doughnut cloud that first caught my attention.

Santa Fe

On our way back from Abiquiu we stopped in The Fe for lunch. It was easy-access Mexican but the most raucous place we've been in years. I like my troughs QUIET! but they had good reviews and it was down the street from the bookstore. 

Cake's was next door. Hopefully they'll still be there when we next pass through. Table-cloths!

Underpants!!

After a bizarre experience at Las Parras de Abiqui in which Michelle was told, with a wagging finger and no uncertain terms, we had to be out in ten minutes, we staggered forth and moved to The Inn at the Delta in Española.

This boutique hotel sits back from the highway and is beautifully appointed and loving cared for by the third generation of owners. There are only 12 rooms and ours was HUGE!! This is the place to stay in Española.

Jack at Las Parras de Abiquiu

 

We'd no more than turned off the engine when Jack strolled over to bid us welcome. His evident pleasure at meeting us and our subsequent admiration immediately secured us as fast friends.

We were on the NO PETS side and had been warned that his entreaties to come inside had to be ignored; he's sneaky, and even a six-inch opening (of the door) was purported to be sufficient.

In the photo below, you can see his hurt and chagrin at being rebuffed.

Later, he returned to express his understanding and share some fur.

Here's my cat-butt! HAHAHAHA!!

Craft Donuts & Coffee

Traveling the world to bring news comparable to the best epiphany. Donuts From Around the Globe.

Two locations in Fanta Se; we chose the south. $2.67 each.

Office - Completion!

The primary impetus was to have a livable space for Steve, Michelle's brother, while we took a brief sojourn. 

SUCCESS! 

Tortoise(s)

Each has their own routine and have yet to appear at the same time. We're hoping they're males and will be the last of their line. If the roadrunners don't get 'em, they'll prolly outlive us.
