Casa Gallina - so many welcome little touches


Entrance to El Santuario de Chimayo


We had such a wonderful first visit to Taos and Santa Fe...already wanting to plan another trip. Anyone interested? There's something for everyone - history, culture, outdoor adventure, shopping, hot springs, and great dining. Can't wait to go back!

It's blossom time in DC again.

A guy, a gal, & a Llama to carry your stuff......sweet!

The Hidden Mask


The Art Exhibit was at Butler's Clowes Memorial Hall
where Jenna received an Gold Key Award for her art work.


Her Sculpture is on the right.






The sculpture was also nominated for the National Contest.



Jenna's sculpture, "The Hidden Mask"




Jenna is addressing the audience (Far right)
We were suprised to find out that a picture of her sculpture was featured on the program.

Land of Enchantment, here we come!

Bantam Roost, the adobe casita where we'll be staying in Taos

The view from our casita at Casa Gallina (taken from other guests' pictures)

Not too many posts here lately...so, here's an update from Paoli...David and I are headed to Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico next week for our spring break. Looking forward to hitting the galleries, old churches, hiking in the mountains (with a llama), going to a Japanese bath house (private bath, don't worry!), and just exploring the area. Hope everyone enjoys their first week of spring!


Cheeseheads



The ladies and I gathered in Madison this weekend to surprise Angie with a bachelorette party. It worked! She had NO IDEA, which was sort of a miracle. We had an amazing time eating lots of good food, drinking delicious beverages, checking out the protesters and catching up with one another!

News?

Really, folks? Are we going to go a month without updates here? I know somebody must be out there doing something interesting.
