Profile Information

Where I Live:: Albuquerque's SW Heights

About Me:: Just a gal living in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I was born and raised here. DNHS class of '78. I also have family here. I have lived a few other places here & there (Maryland, South Dakota, Texas), now & then. But I always came back here, where my soul has been most at home.

I'm an avid amateur photographer... hope to lean more into a professional flavor in the next couple of years. I'm a writer and extremely interested in the field of Investigations. I'm cuerrently re-examining what my life passions are. Investigations of the inner type! Funny how we sometimes sweep that under the rug for a while in life... at least until it screams to be recognized. I'm learning a lot!
I have been a hot air balloon pilot since 1982, although I generally don't fly much anymore. It's fun, but I don't like getting up that early so much anymore! My most recent hobby addition has been Amateur radio... I earned my Technican class license in November 2004. Callsign, KE5DDZ. I plan to upgrade to a General class license soon.

Favorite Thing(s) About Albuquerque:: The Sandia Mountains, The Energy, The Sunrises and Sunsets, The uniqueness of the cultures, The proximity to so many great places to visit, And some very interesting parts of town that have a peronality all their own. It's like no place else I've ever traveled... A great place for a photographer, and I always have the camera with me!

Relationship Status:: Single

My Website:: http://ke5ddz.home.comcast.net/~ke5ddz/

What I'm Reading:: As far as books... I'm reading "The New Earth," by Eckhart Tolle. Really great so far!!! And... a friend-recommended book -- "Never Eat Alone," by Keith Ferrazzi. And I recently finished "The Astonishing Power of Emotions: Let Your Feelings Be Your Guide," by Ester & Jerry Hicks. And also "Garden Spells," by Sarah Addison Allen. But, I have a stack of books calling to me and a correspondence course I'm finishing!!

What I'm Listening To:: Oh so many various things! Frequently XM Radio... and the selection varies. Then sometimes I skip back on over to some CDs... Craig Chaquiso being a fave, among others... Loreena McKennitt, Enya, Yanni, Ottmar Liebert, Bob Sager, Elton John, and too many others to list.
I also sometimes monitor the 2-meter amateur radio frequencies.

One of my Flickr Sets. I hope you enjoy the show.

These are some of my photos I've taken over time.

Help For a Home Flood!

On New Years morning, I experienced a frozen and burst pipe, resulting in a flood in my home. (Full flood story here) But I want to share with you the name of two terrific, local companies who have been helping me put it all back together! First of them is Rockefeller's Cleaning and Restoration. Even on a holiday, they have been fabulous! Fast, friendly, professional and knowledgeb…

Delightful Christmas!!

I was at my grandmother's (Nana's) house with my Mom and Don (my step-dad). We were doing the usual Christmas Eve traditions we do every year. All the gifts had been brought over the day before. That evening around 4:30pm, we arrived with most of dinner. Mom and I prepared and warmed up what was left to prepare for dinner. When dinner was ready, we all prepared our dinner plates -- buffet style. Black Forest ham, sweet potatoes with toasted marshmallows on top, fresh green beans, fruit salad,…

So THIS is Duke City Fix...

I must thank Susan for the invite. This is a nice place you all have here. I have posted photos through Flickr to a group for Duke City Fix, but I had not been here, that I remember. Although, I have slept since then!

So... let the exploration begin! I'm still figuring out the customization options, but it's coming along. I figure even though I do have another blog elsewhere ( Paula's Butterfly Mind ), that I started back in 2005, I really sho…
