Fall Foliage
Today we took a drive up thur the Mesilla Valley in New Mexico, this part of the Rio Grande is in between El Paso and Las Cruces, NM. We had a very enjoyable day, we did some more geocaching and the went to Old Mesilla to have lunch at La Posta http://www.laposta-de-mesilla.com/. We enjoyed some more great Mexican food, this time with a New Mexican flavor.
It was a nice day to explore the valley, we saw cotton and pecans being harvested and enjoyed the plaza and it’s shops in Old Mesilla. Our weather has been mild and the Southwest foliage is lovely this year.
We stopped at Stahmanns Farms http://www.stahmanns.com/ and enjoyed their pecans. I love driving thru the pecan groves.

It was a really nice way to spend the day.
Treasure Hunting
I started my holiday vacation today with a treasure hunt.
My cousins go Geocaching and today they took PJ and I along to learn a bit about the hobby. I had read something about it somewhere so I had some idea but here is the official description from the website:
“Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.”
It was fun, we found 4 of the 5 cache that we were looking for, it got dark and we didn’t have a light with us. I got to go to some places in the area that I had never been before.
The Parkers
After our walk in the desert we met up with Robert and Joe Robert who had spent some time in the park getting their slide on, Joe Robert had to show Mom how good he was on the slide.

After our in the dark aborted hunt we went to one of my favorite eateries, The Riviera, which has great Mexican food. PJ was a good boy and waited in his crate while we ate dinner, he was rewarded with dog cookies so he was happy.
Lindy meets a kid
Lindy and Dublin follow Joe Robert around
My cousin Bonnie and her family husband Robert and their son Joe Robert are visiting for Thanksgiving. Bonnie is the baby of our family and now her baby is the baby. We don’t have a lot of little kids visiting. Today Lindy got to hang out with us, we didn’t want to overwhelm the kid with a pack of Cardigans. She thought he was pretty interesting, I think he is pretty cute.

Skywatch Friday
Twilight
I Love it when a plan comes together
I’m going to go visit the grandbabies in mid December. I’ll go up to see Polly, Pip and the Pups in Colorado in a couple of weeks. Everything just fell into place, cheap plane fare, a free car rental and a comp day at work so I don’t have to use any vacation time. It will be a quick trip up and back but well worth it! I just wish Kathy D could come along too.
Wordless Wednesday
We Won!
Pup Date Week two
The babies are 2 weeks old day and Polly reports their eyes are starting to open. She promises photos very soon. I’m going to go see them next month, I can’t wait.
Who needs a cat?
It is that time of year when we get mice in our house. Those of you who know me know I have an unnatural fear of mice. I’m the classic stand of a chair and squeal kind of girl. I hate mice!
We have been infested, they seem to have moved in between the kennel wall and the rock wall. Wicca put a hole in the drywall in the laundry closet trying to hunt them down. Today during dinner the Cardi kids brought me not one but two dead RATS, the are not mice but Rats, Ratzilla lives at my house, YUCK, YUCK, YUCK! The dogs were good enough to give them up but I was freakin out trying to pick them up and not have to look at them.
Did I mention I hate mice and rats?
