My next New Mexico adventure

-
I have less than a week left on this Bosque Farms property and there is a little sadness but I'm looking forward to finally settling down somewhere that's my own little piece of New Mexico. In the short time I've been here, I've learned a lot, I've been inspired, and I've healed.

This amazing, peaceful place allowed me to say goodbye to my parents. I've had time to celebrate their lives and imagine how much they would've loved it here.

Dad would've been out working on cars in the garage, and Mom would've spent her days outdoors, the dogs by her side, tending to her yard. Every flower I took a photo of, I saw through her eyes.

Our dogs, Buster and Chuck, 13 and 14 years old respectively, get younger each day. It's crazy how good they feel!! I'm a follower of a senior dog home in TN, and I love to look at the pix they post on their Facebook page. This place would make a great senior dog home, too, as Chuck and Buster can attest.

And of course, the peacocks. Love those crazy birds. Seriously.

I still hope to buy the property and restore it to its former glory, creating jobs and a stronger sense of community. First, though, I have to secure a big enough grant to do it, and that will take time.

In the meantime, I hope to inspire others to join me in my quest to explore the awesomeness that is New Mexico.

Stay tuned as I turn my attention to the east mountains...there will be pictures and observations, rants and recommendations. It'll all be good.

For today, take in a deep breath of fresh New Mexico air and appreciate the moment.

The apostrophe... punctuation without a purpose

-

You would think that with my background and education, I would be a stickler for correct grammar and punctuation. Quite the opposite. I studied the English language and its history for my BA, and I have come to realize over the years that language changes and we need to stop holding on to what doesn't serve us anymore. Punctuation for example. Let's start with the apostrophe. There are actually two reasons we use apostrophes. The first is to take the place of a missing letter or letters. Contractions are a good example.  When we smoosh two words together to make one word, or when we shorten a single word, a letter or two are dropped and the apostrophe takes their place. "Do not" becomes "don't", "cannot" becomes "can't", and "we are" becomes "we're." Sometimes we drop the last letter of a word to make its tone more casual. "I'm just thinkin'," again, a missing letter. Another u

in search of the Lazy J

I've noticed over the last few years an abandoned motel along Rt. 66 in Moriarty called the Lazy J.   I've also noticed that the curio shop/thrift store/artist mall business in the east mountains is growing by leaps and bounds.  Church Street Market in Edgewood is a good example. Local artists/artisans can rent a space and sell their wares. It's a little out of the way but even people from Albuquerque visit.  The Lazy J would make an excellent artists mall, too. I loved the idea so I decided to find out who the owner is and if they are interested in renting or selling the place. Not as easy as you would think.  I searched online and found nothing helpful.  So I stopped by the motel to see if there were any signs on the property that might lead me to the owner.  There was a handwritten sign on the office door...quite old but with a phone number. I snapped a photo of it and made a mental note to call the next day. Then I promptly forgot about it.  About a week lat

creative solutions to some big problems

1036517156700455/div> I have been thinking about school and all its problems a lot lately. My funny, imaginative grandson Oliver is old enough for early education and I don't think he should go.  School isn't what it used to be. It's an outdated, cumbersome mode of helping our kids learn. I would also argue that it often squelches the spontaneous, sparkling creativity young children possess. Most importantly, it is becoming dangerous to attend public school. I don't think I need to explain more.  We must face the fact that the system could be better. It could reflect all the learning tools and styles that work well in today's world. We need to quit holding on.  Here are some ideas regarding the school bus driver shortage and in many cases, the teacher shortage: 1. Each week (month, whatever), one third of learners in a school learn online, watching live classes at home, public library, or community center. Next week, it's another third, etc.  2. E
