When I left Maine on Tuesday, my son texted me that it was SNOWING in Albuquerque. Just to be clear, I was leaving Maine for a visit where it's WARMER. So I was not impressed. By the time I arrived, the snow had melted. It was a bit chilly, however. Never mind. My heart was warmed by a huge hug from my son and my granddaughter saying, "I love you, Grammy."
I was so excited to see their new house. The neighborhood reminds me a lot of the one in St. Paul, MN where my kids grew up. Except here, flowers are in full bloom in May, rather than just getting their leaves.
Fast forward to yesterday, my new daughter-in-law's birthday. Alayah and I decided we would walk to Old Town, an old, historic neighborhood in Albuquerque. It took more than half an hour because we made frequent stops to admire flowers and pick leaves for 'cabbage soup'.
Arriving at the plaza, we made a beeline for the chocolate shop and purchased a box of hand-chosen delicious candy for my chocoholic DIL Then stopped at a sandwich shop for lunch and a photo op.
Back home, the Lukester was hard at work building the first of several raised beds for the back yard. After much trial and tribulation, it was completed. The three girlz needed to make a run to the grocery store, leaving the boyz to do some therapeutic planting.
Saturday, we're off to Santa Fe where Luke will do the 100 mile bike ride and the rest of us will chill.
Catch ya later.
