High Road

Nope not the moral high road that those guys in the White house seem to have wandered away from, but the studio tours......It was great! Took 9 very full boxes of pots and came back with barely 4 full ones. The garlic keepers all sold, all but one of the garlic roasters....and of course lots of other stuff....think all but one of the oil dispensers....anyway...it was fun. There were a few that had bought in past years and were return customers...that was fun! and it is always nice to hear people tell you how nice your work is. I took several orders this time too. Need to get busy on those right away.

And the weather was beautiful. For those of you that have been to Trucas, the mts were glorious...the aspen had started to turn, and they were snow capped!! That NM blue blue sky and then snow...the yellow aspen....wow!!! Weather was a little "crisp", but nice sweater weather. Valerie came up on Sat. Paul brought her after the soccer game...and she stayed with me. She had a blast....she feed the animals with her Gr. Grampa...she went to market with him and sold 5 lambs...she road bikes as fast as she could from Gramita's to the arroyo....she was a little afraid of the rooster howerver. And when we left on Sunday night...the mts to the south...Los Alamos way....were all in sillouette with a beautiful sunset reflected in the sky behind them and just the biggest sliver of a moon you have ever seen.....AWESome....Tremendous....incredible etc....Wow!!!

Alan's folks looked great and we really had a good time together. I don't get up there as much as I should. It was very nice to spend the time with them.

Valerie will be in California on Wed. for a very long weekend. She and Suzanne are going to Disneyland and the beach. She is very excited!! We are alittle nervous...but she will be fine. A friend of Jessie's is a SW airline hostess/stewardess/ whatever....and she might (we hope) be riding with her. We will see. I know they both will have a good time. Can't believe she is 8 already...where has the time gone??? and I have quite keeping track of how old the other one is!!

Well, I need to get some clay rolled out before the start of the next period....all of you take care, have a wonderful weekend, enjoy life...love you all.....Aunt/mom/Cindy
