Housewarming Party
06/24/07 - Albuquerque, NM Having some people over for our first party in Albq
Yesterday, we had basically everyone we know in New Mexico over for a housewarming open-house party. We laid out the spread and mixed up the sangria, and had a pretty good showing! We had fun, and hope our guests did too. Since the 11 liter punch bowl of sangria was empty by party's end, we're pretty sure people ended up enjoying themselves at some point... Thanks to everyone for coming - we hope that was just the first of more parties to come! Scott preps, while Carol & Ric chat him up Patricia, Stan, Karen, and Jeri Our next door neighbors Charles & Sandy chat with Cory Karen, Illyssa... and Parry & Corey back there	Beth, Cory, Carol and Mary Scott ladles the sangria...hey, what's with all the men in the kitchen?! Parry samples the sangria...mmm, mmm good! Cory and Beth peruse the spread

Bling!
06/17/07 - Madrid, NM Mouthful of style
After Scott's first, white temporary crown fell out, he got this sweet silver number installed! Must've been out of gold, or else they knew he didn't have the dental insurance to cover it. Have to try not to smile in the sketchier neighborhoods....	Unfortunately, they have to replace the temporary crown with a permanent white one.

A Walk In The Jemez
06/14/07 - Jemez, Santa Fe National Forest, NM Taking a picturesque walk north of Albuquerque
It was our third time up to the hiking trails around Jemez Springs, about an hour and 45 minutes northwest of Albuquerque, where this time we decided to take an 'off the map' hike down a trail that we were driving past. So we pulled over at Las Conchas trailhead, which leads to part of the East Fork Trail. An easy, flat walk down the banks of a river, it's so beautiful you must remember to ask us to take you there next time you're visiting us here in Albuquerque. We practically had the trail to ourselves - with the exception of the occasional intrusion of a chipmunk here or there. Rocky cliffs all along the stream add to the scenery Lovely Jemez area Can't quite see the stream toward the right in this shot, but imagine the sound of babbling water to enhance your website viewing experience	Don't touch that handrail too hard... it's not exactly stable! Fat chipmunks abound on this trail Caroline deftly rock-hops across the water East Fork Trail

Happy Birthday Caroline - Thanks For The Party Erica and Eric!
06/11/07 - Albuquerque, NM Enjoying some festivities on Caroline's birthday
Our friends Erica and Eric generously decided to host a party for Caroline's (and mutual friend Corey's) birthday. And quite an affair it was! The wine and beer were flowing, the fajitas were sizzling, the cupcakes were scrumptious, and the setting (their back yard) was beautiful. Great fun was had by all, and Scott didn't need to lift a finger to celebrate his wife's birthday! Although we did head out for an 'official' celebration of our own, a pleasant night out at the Gruet Grille for a mediocre meal. Erica's fajitas put Gruet to shame. Scott displays colorful utensils and pocket squares Erica, striking pose Illyssa and Caroline, enjoying yet another glass of wine More of Erica's peeps	Hostess Erica and Birthday Girl Caroline Eric & Erica - Erica, still hungry after those fajitas?
