In New Mexico this time of year you will see Luminara lights everywhere. Along the freeway the large buildings have them and then in the neighborhoods you see these more than regular Christmas lights.
Tamales must mean Christmas here. Kathy's friend has a guy who has gotten her some good Tamales for years. This year that friend had to be found and it took a while. When he was found he arranged to meet Kathy's friend in a parking lot in in a little town nearby and make the exchange. Lot's of people have "connections" to relatives or freinds who have a great Tamale. We already sampled the Tamales we got "through our connection" and it was really good.
Acutally I like mine with a realy good red
Collage Bosque
Soon to be Framed .........A group of pictures from the Bosque. The Bosque is the protected area along both sides of the Rio Grande from one end of town to the other. Great walking trails This picture will be good when I get it framed and on my office wall at work.
This story seemed, up to today, a little like the folk legends that just float around. Seems like every area has them. "So and so" gets on the line to call New Mexico, or to ship something to it, and they are told that it will be "extra" for the "international rate".
Today in trying to change an airline reservation today and the person at the ticket agency suggested it would be costly since it was an "international flight". Ho Ho, we all went. Anyway I noticed when I looked for a map image showing New Mexico that the only one I could find to post here was "blue". Maybe it was because of the blue sky?
Then too if you read my blog yesterday you will know that since this blog is a little like a Christmas Card that it is indeed important that I mention "the teams".

Speaking of geographically challenged Americans, I wanted to make sure there was a Toys R Us in Utah (Which was a silly questions anyway) and the clerk at the store here in Idaho couldn't find Utah in her binder. I looked down and she was looking in the W's! Then she said there wasn't one in Salt Lake but it looked like there was one in Sugar House. I looked at the address and pointed to the city name under it. She was the customer service manager? Hmm....
Merry Christmas!!!
