Waiting for the Conference Call...daydreaming...

It is Sunday morning (well 11:16) and I have a conference call at noon. How will I get my post finished!!! I hear one of my elderly cats caterwauling in her guttural voice informing me that she is not satisfied with her morning meal. I feel the pressure...will I be able to finish this....need to focus...don't think about Star...ahhh...Ray just scooted her to the kitchen and is feeding her a new and different can of Fancy Feast. He tells me that they like variety and so they never get the same kind of food two days in a row. Yes, we spoil them...but they are 22 and 23 years old...so they feel they are entitled.
The conference call is soon and I should get prepared. I am the secretary of a nonprofit, Cuyamungue Institute, that is based in New Mexico. Every summer I travel to New Mexico for a board meeting and usually to present a workshop. I will write more about it in another blog. It is important to select the right words to describe the beauty of the Land and the transformation I feel every time I go there. So, instead of writing about it, this time I will share a few pictures. Sunset at Cuyamungue Walking up to the ridge to greet the sun in the morning.

    There is a reason they call New Mexico the Land of Enchantment. Your photos prove that.

    First time I've read your blog. A family of storytellers--how wonderful is that! You must live out West then if you're involved with New Mexico some how. Glad you're here to share with us.

      Thanks, Tam, I do love the South West...but I live in Ohio. That is what makes it a special trip every year. Glad I am here to share too. This has been fun.
