I feel like a kid again.....(well sort of)
About 2 weeks ago dh and I went on a trip to New Mexico. We had this nagging feeling of "we need to get home" about 3 days before the planned end of our trip. So we loaded up and came home. We found our gardens burning up. We watered and watered and were able to save everything but 3 more days would have too late (funny how you get those little feelings, isn't it?). 3 days ago dh says "wanna go back and finish up our vacation?" I couldn't believe it. We're leaving in the morning to go back! I'm soooooo excited. I really never expected that he'd want to do that.
We're not doing anything elaborate, we live in the flatlands here so it's very nice to go to the mountains for us.

I love New Mexico and lived there for a few years. My mom is in Albuquerque. Have fun!
I love that big flea market they have.
