Another year is drawing to a close. I've been away from the blog-o-sphere for awhile.
I've noticed on several friends blogs that they too have either stopped posting or have had long pauses. Not sure what that means. Could the novelty of blogging be wearing off?? I don't know.
Anywhooo... I've been on a few trips since I've last posted and will try to catch up.
The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta has come and gone. This year I did not make it nor did the balloons float south like they usually do at least a day or two during the fiesta. The weather for the fiesta was great the first few days of the week;however, out of the blue we got a SNOW STORM.
...and then it was nice again. Go figure. I took the opportunity to head to Sandia Peak which Albuquerque sits at the base of. The weather since then has been amazing.

Notice the white mountains in the back [click to enlarge].
Two days after the snowstorm I headed to the peak. A beautiful 45 minute drive or so.
There's nothing like a bowl of green chili stew 10,678 feet above sea level. Talk about an awesome view!!
Of course no trip to the Sandia Mountains is complete without a stop at Tinkertown. A very cool folk-art museum built by Ross Ward over 40 years.
I'm out.
