Notes From the Road

Getting to know Espanola....



This Saturday Sopurkh and I participated in a prayer service for all of the soldiers serving in the army, and for peace on the planet. The names of soldiers from the Espanola Valley who are serving were read off in the beginning. It happens every Saturday and is a very beautiful and simple service. If you are interested in coming it is held at St. Steven's Episcapol Church across the street from the Espanola Plaza at 11 am to 11:30 am.

A miracle happened! Usually I order my shoes off of the internet because I wear a size five. I've gotten pretty tired of walking in and out of one shoe store after the other only to find that the shoes that I kind of liked were not and will never be carried in my size at that shoe store. When my husband and I first got married, I must have been overcome with the joy of marriage because I completely forgot about this phenomenon and unfortunately took him shoe shopping. After about five stores both of us were just plain sad. After that I only ordered on line. Well, this Saturday after the prayer service we were driving down the streets of Espanola, and I saw this shoe shop, Borrego's Bootery.... and just for fun we decided to stop. I couldn't imagaine what kind of shoes would be in there... I was more in the mood for exploration... and maybe finding something funny about Espanola to talk about. Well wouldn't you know it, we walked in that "bootery" and there were stacks and stacks of shoes, and tons in my size!!!! Who knew! I bought two pairs of shoes. What fun!


My husband and I took a walk just above Santa Fe. We were in a kind of forest wonderland. The snow created a quiet white engulfed reality... nothing but the sound of our foot steps. Very beautiful.

Let's just say... I made some good discoveries this weekend... its nice around here....

Espanola....

May Peace Prevail on Earth.

Over and Out.
