Interesting Events - 2019-2023


2024

Susan and I drove to Madrid on Sat., Jan. 20. There were very few tourists there. We spent much of our time talking with the local business owners about their holiday sales and even bought some fresh greens. One sad note- the "Hollar" where we would go for music and lunch was closed. We understand that it will reopen in the spring under new management as a deli.

The "Hollar"

On February 9-10, Susan and I celebrated my 81st birthday at NOSA Restaurant and Inn which is close to Ojo Caliente.

 

My step-daughter Susie and her son Anderson visited us during the week of March 12th. We all went to Abuiquiu (Poshuoinge Ruins, the Penitente Moranda, Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu Lake) and Taos (Kit Carson's House, the Gorge Bridge, the Plaza, the Earthships) while they were here. We saw some beautiful and interesting sights and enjoyed their company!

Anderson is applying to universities this year and here is a YouTube he created.


Susan and I went to Ormond Beach, Florida between April 9-15 to visit Susan's cousins Cliff and Annie Coleman. We stayed at their beautiful house and were taken on several excursions around the area. One was to the Museum of Arts and Sciences where Annie is a docent, took a drive down the Florida coast, and a had fun boat ride along the intercoastal waterway. Great weather and great time!

 

We were also entertained by their dog, Bonnie!

 

Travels with Ken

The Covid-19 epidemic chaged everyone's ablity around the world to travel. Some countries were completely closed off to travelers entirely. Begining in 2020 we did not do as much traveling as in the past. Most of our trips out of town involved short car trips around the state eating a packed lunch or getting "take out." Thank goodness we live in a state with plenty of beautiful scenery!
