Tomorrow is the soup party. Wednesday is just another day for us. Erin will be with the Herns, running the show, being spoiled by Roger who funds the folly called life in Dilia. Since we don’t celebrate Christmas on the 25th, it’s only right that they have her for the day.
Snow?
Should be gone by the end of the day. After the snow yesterday, the sun came out and the entire valley radiated white. It was almost blinding. Nina and I were watching the sun reveal the valley from Arrow’s Ridge B & B during the Christmas Brunch they hosted there. What a great day spent there. Arrow’s Ridge is closed for the rest of the year, at least to guests. Joe is taking a break after a busy fall to spent time with loved ones. January will see the guests return and events will again happen.
Suze? is doing a great job as chef and all she needs now to make her the perfect chef is NEW TIRES FOR HER CAR! Sorry but it had to be said.
Dogs
As Whiskey ages we’re kinda leaning towards a no dog house for a while, but Jenna stopping by with her Belgium Shepard yesterday made me question whether that will happen or not. I saw that dog and wanted him. (See yesterday’s posting for a picture of the dog!) The ownership of a dog is a responsibility that I take seriously. We take great care in choosing any dog knowing that we’re making a commitment for the life of this animal. Having a dog does complicate international travel since we can’t take them with, but in country travel is fine. There’s plenty of hotels that are pet friendly and then of course there’s camping.
Jeep
I’ve owned this vehicle since March. This past week I rolled 35,000 miles on the odometer. I think this is my heaviest driving year since moving out here. I’m really enjoying the Rubicon model of the Wrangler and I recommend it frequently to those looking for an SUV or 4X4 if they don’t need a large cargo area. It’s not a luxury vehicle, but it’s a fun ride to own.
Go ahead, drool over it. You know you want to!
Business
Business this month is way down, but the holiday travel season should help somewhat. The last two days are reminiscent of summer days. Just a guestimate has the daily totals at 3X last weeks daily totals. Gotta love it.
The New Mexico State Seal
The government is now going to study who can use the Zia, the state symbol. Since it is also a religious symbol for the Zia Pueblo, they have been invited to the discussion. I have the feeling that they’re gonna start a shitstorm wit the businesses that have used it for years as part of their NM presence. You take something that was freely sued for years as a symbol of pride in your business location and then tell people they can’t use it? I don’t see this ending well.
Go ahead, drool over it. You know you want to!
Today I will live in the moment, unless the moment becomes unpleasant, in which case I’ll take a nap.
