We’re Back from New Mexico!

Taos Pueblo

We’re back home now, safe and sound! We returned yesterday. What a fabulous journey and exploration of New Mexico. We met some really great folks along the way, saw some beautiful countryside, and stayed at relaxing places in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. We successfully wore ourselves out too! I can’t say that my bionic knee behaved very well. It has been protesting loudly about all the walking we did. Fiddlesticks!

So hello, Thursday, and we’re back to reality and our normal routines! I jumped right into my consulting work today. Hubby cheerfully did laundry chores and grocery shopping. We are both excited to be reacquainted with many things that we missed, such as the Tennessee landscape filled with a multitude of green colors, cozy recliners, and comfort-height toilets! That’s one of the neat things about traveling. When you return home, you are gently reminded of cherished items in your own world!

I see that Marty behaved reasonably well minding the blog and keeping you entertained with posts during my absence. There will be a few more posts to share pictures of Zion National Park, where we vacationed three years ago. Of course, there will also be plenty of opportunities for me to bore you to tears with New Mexico photos in the weeks and months ahead! Photoshop and my computer are going to get a workout.

Last, but not least, my blog passed the 500th post milestone while we were gone. Hooray!!! Who knew that I could be so chatty? Stay tuned for a giveaway celebration very soon! It will be my best giveaway ever!

  1. Congrats on 500! That's great. Welcome home. I always feel like kissing my little house once I return from a vacation. Be it ever so humble and all that... And straight back to work? On your bum bionic knee? Hope that the knee stops protesting so much.
