We have had a wonderful time on our 50th anniversary honeymoon. We’ve stayed at the Abiquiu Inn. This is where Georgia O’Keffe had her winter home and studio. We didn’t get to go on the home tour but we did go into the little museum that is here.
The food at the Cafe in the Inn has been really wonderful. Their soups, their entrees all of the food we ate was wonderful, fresh, tasty, original–just dang good.
It won’t be easy leaving here in the morning. In Santa Fe will will meet with my nephew Christopher and his Daughter Says. Saya is a freshman in college at Western Washington. Her folks Christopher and Shuzika and brother live in Japan. So she is going to be away from home. Her grandparents though are in Ft. Worth so there is some folk on this side of the Pacific. I told her if she needed me I’d hop on a plane and come.
Tomorrow is also day two of the Indian Art festival in Santa Fe where all the tribes and the jewelry makers will be there selling their wonderful craft. O I think I’m going on overload thinking about it. There will be a crowd of people but it will be outside. I’m keeping my mask handy if it gets really close. I will try and figure out how to get some of my photos on here so you can see what I get.
John and I have also tried to outline what we want to write about in our Memory book of all the years we’ve been together. We’ve had fun things to talk about because we have written down prompts. There are stories we remember and others we will try and forget.
Willie Nelson sings Remember the Good Times
Remember the good times
They’re smaller in number
And easier to recall
Don’t spend too much time
On the bad times
They’re staggering in number
And will be heavy
As lead on your mind
Don’t waste a moment unhappy
Invaluable moments gone
With the leakage of time
As we leave on
Our own separate journeys
Moving west with the sun
To a place buried deep
Within our minds
Remember the good times
They’re smaller in number
And easier to recall
Don’t spend too much time
On the bad times
They’re staggering in number
And will be heavy
As lead on your mind
God Abides
