Yummy Sevilleta

This isn't really overheard, but more "overread." It's from a Journal article about improvements to the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge. When it comes to typos, this is always one of my favorites: "Isolation of the refuge from wandering cattle...

Edith Grove replied to Angelo Baca's discussion 'Central Park, Albuquerque'

I have a similar fantasy that involves the state fairgrounds. I'd love to see that turned into a Central Park sort of concept. Really make it usable by a wide variety of folks for a wide variety of activities on a regular basis.

Young Edward Puts a CorkFest In It

There's a found metal sculpture in my back yard. His mid section is made up of a giant spring. His name is (drumroll please) Jerry Springer and he came from a CorkFest some years back. CorkFests have a way of sticking around long a… Continue

State Fair Mini Donut Disaster

I went to the fair today. Just across from the 4H animal exhibits under the big red roof, I saw what I thought was a Tom Thumb Donuts stand. Yippee! My heart sang an aria. Closing in on the booth, I noticed that it was actually a "Tom Toms" Donuts. Hmmm.... okay. Is this like one of those 7-Eleven versus 7 To… Continue

At 11:09am on June 22, 2009, Grumpy said…: Edith, I am just curious - Did you dine at Jennifer James on Saturday night June 20? It's hard to tell from these avatar photos but someone seated near me looked at lot like your picture.

My meal, as a matter of fact, was so spectacular I was almost embarrassed by my good fortune to be eating there.

It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good to be home. Can't wait to get on a normal schedule in a few weeks as well.

I hope you're doing well, too!
