I’m having a tough time staying present because Thursday I’m off to Santa Fe and Taos with my Mom.  It is her maiden voyage and I have faith in that she will be completely overtaken in splendor.

My first item of business is a prickly-pear margarita at The Shed, the magenta-colored one I’ve been thinking about since my last trip in 2013.  And the stuffed tempura-fried squash blossoms at La Fonda.

And then… nothing but good art!   I have a pile of artists’ cards from last time and I’m really excited to see some again. And there are new artists I’ve discovered through social media… and a whole week to adventure without commitments!
