Where am I going? New Mexico, that's where.

On July 23rd I will be going, along with my sister Jody to visit my aunt Dolly in Albuquerque, NM. Jody and I have a tradition of going to visit relatives in New Mexico because we have many all over the state. I am very close to my sisters Rosalie and Jody. My mother Emma was born in Albuquerque in 1924. She left this dimension in 1994 at the age of 70. Jody and I have warm and exciting memories of traveling to Albuquerque in our childhoods. Many cousins would meet us some from Concord and Hayward in in northern California. The adults would leave us in Albuquerque and go to Juarez in Mexico to carry on where as my mother would say "you could stay drunk all weekend for twenty dollars". We will be going to the Spanish Market in Santa Fe which is a very popular cultural event held annually. You can check it out here http://www.spanishmarket.org/. Just thinking about hanging out with my peeps in NM is very exciting and jogs memories from my whole lifetime. I hope to bring back many pictures to post here. Be well my little gloworms. Rick
