| Michelle Lujan Grisham Portrait (9/29): In our Saturday Painters session, I finally finished my watercolor portrait of our congresswoman. I started it before we went to Alaska. I believe I will take a friend's suggestion and donate it for auction at a Democratic Party fund raiser. It has a mat, now I need to select a frame for it.  Michelle Lujan Grisham ... |

Chilly Mornings (9/24): I found just the right place to hang the Moon Mask that we picked up on our cruise to Alaska. Even though it's color blends in with the wall but it looks good there. We need to expand our collection of Native-American art - this mask is a start. Yesterday, I picked up my paintings from the NM State Fair. I decided to hang my hollyhocks in the Saturday Painters exhibit at the La Mesa Church next month. The weather is changing - some of the nicest benefits of colder weather setting in - is sleeping under a warm quilt and putting on my a soft heavy robe in the chilly mornings. It might even get chilly enough, some days, to wear a jacket. ...

Home Sweet Home (9/18): We got home just after midnight - slept till 9 am and finally turned my wifi on this morning. Seems like New Mexico got more rain in the two weeks we were gone that in all this year - Abq got over 3 inches - we had no idea what was going on back here being out of touch for ten days. Now it's time to unpack - pick up the mail and go get Blossom - wonder if she remembers us ?  Shot This Pic from the Plane as we Left San Francisco ... |

||||||
| Ketchikan (9/10): Our first Port of Call is Ketchikan, Alaska. We spent most of our time ashore shopping. The weather was pleasent - we are really getting a break with the warm days here just as we did in San Francisco.   Ketchikan, Alaska ... |

||||||
| The City By The Bay (9/7): One of my favorite places in San Francisco is the Japanese Garden in Golden Gate Park. It's such a quiet and peaceful place to be. My bride took my photo in the garden with her new i-pod touch. She's beginning to really like her toy. Today we board our ship and sail for Alaska.   .... |

||||||
| San Francisco (9/5): What to do on the first day in San Francisco ? We go shopping of course. We checked into the Westin Saint Frances and then had a nice meal at a nearby restaurant. Next we walked around downtown - but, of course, mostly from one shoe store to another. That was yesterday, today we are having a big breakfast before taking a tour of the city - then, a trip to wine country - finishing the day at Fisherman's Wharf for dinner.   My Bride in San Francisco ... |

| Still In Love (9/2): After all these years, we are still in love with each other. Below are photos we took of each other when we were at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, back in July. On our anniversary, August 31st, we celebrated simply by taking in a movie at a dollar theater. After seeing the "Lone Ranger", a movie we have been waiting for, we had dinner at Mimi's - LIFE IS GOOD.  ... |

CELEBRATION: Today was a simple day of celebration of our anniversary - we took in the "Lone Ranger" at the dollar show - went shopping and finished the day with dinner at Mimi's. Simple things make life worthwhile. The movie theater was crowded. We both enjoyed the "Lone Ranger". The movie was a hoot - I did not expect it to be such a comedy - it was a hoot. ...
