Alaska to New Mexico

Life in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. We left Homer, Alaska on June 3rd, 2009, traveling in our van loaded down with everything we need to set up housekeeping in New Mexico. We now own a small house here and are loving life in the sun. If you scroll back far enough, you'll find a complete record of our road trip.

Christmas is coming....

Haven't posted any pictures for awhile as I have been having too much fun with a new video camera and editing software, so haven't taken many photos....but here are a few from the past few weeks. Here's our Christmas Tumbleweed, all decorated with red chiles we grew in our yard, mistletoe we picked down by the Rio Grande, and assorted gummy-worms, candy canes, etc. I spray pained the Tumbleweed to use as a money tree at our friends, Terry and Brian's wedding. Annie was Matron of Honor. She and I helped decorate, cater and generally organize things. Brian, Annie and I are playing music together now. We bought a keyboard and small PA system, so Annie is able to play keyboard-drum machine and backup chords. We played downtown the other night for Christmas in Truth or Consequences. We also played at the wedding for Brian and Terry's first dance. Annie also knit Terry's snood (at least that's what she calls the thing Terry is wearing on her head.) Brian ordered his shirt from some western wear company and is very proud of it.
Yesterday we drove down by the Rio Grande and picked some mistletoe for our tree. (did I mention that already?) Anyway, here' some mistletoe, still fresh from its host tree.We took a ride up into the Caballo Mountains this afternoon and had a wonderful time picking rocks and exploring the back roads. I took some videos and may post those on YouTube at some point. I did post a video of our picnic yesterday. You can go to YouTube.com and search for homerhorns or go directly to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0W7cPQ-BsY Guess that's all for now. Time to watch some NetFlix and head to bed.
