Taos NM Highlights

We have spent the month of August in Taos NM and were joined by friends Jean and Dave (and Yogi and Max) and Ken and Betti (and Sweetie).

We have been doing lots of carving and beading since the weather has been perfect for being outside.  Don't we look industrius?


When we aren't carving or beading, we are often eating!  The Northern New Mexico cuisine is absolutely delicious and unique to this area.  Here we are at Orlando's.


The six of us are getting mail here, and Kathy in the office needed to put a name on our mailbox.  She couldn't decide what to name the box - The Carving Group or The Beading Group, so she finally decided on The Talented Group!



Our animal RVers on this trip are:

Sweetie, sitting on the step inside her RV letting us know she is ready to come outside.  She is a very vocal girl.



Sweetie up close and personal - look at the color in her eyes - so beautiful. As allergic as I am to cats, every now and then I just have to pet her and then hurry to scrub my hands.



Yogi (left) and Max (right), Jean and Dave's rescue Yorkies.  Yogi will sit in anybody's lap forever.  Max is 12 and has arthritis and doesn't see well so we need to be gentle with him.  I think it is wonderful that Jean and Dave were willing to give Max and Yogi a forever home.



Jean and Dave walking the boys.


Lots of dog love free for the asking.



Taos has the most amazing clouds and the sunsets are breathtaking.   The cloud pictures were taken on our morning walks.  Most every night brings a new, more beautiful sunset, and all the sunset pictures were taken from behind our 5th wheel..

We have had such a good time here in Taos but are anxious to move back to Creede CO to enjoy the fall in the Colorado Mountains.  We are hoping it doesn't get too cold or, worse, snow!
