I am trying to work this in to stay on topic, but haven't figured out how yet. So I'll just add that I wanted to share this photo. We popped up there for one night to see the place before we move next week. Wow - we are surrounded by these mountains. I am thinking now that I agree with you Mike - I am going to enjoy my stay there. I saw some pretty cowgirls to paint as well. This photo is one from my new back yard. Now..if I can just figure out how not to get stuck by the cacti every time I wander out my door I'll be ok.
Matthew- I'll long for grass too, but there is a bit closer to the house. And yes, there are lots of dangerous things in them thare hills. I am figuring out why they created cowboy boots!
