Busy Weekend Part Duex

After Friday night's festivities, Winona, Karenellen and I went to Ojo Caliente to celebrate Winona's birthday {which is Tuesday}. Ojo is one of my favorite places in New Mexico. It is such a relaxing place... We soaked, mudded up, had a fantastic lunch, a walk by the river, some shopping and then we came back to Albuquerque. The weather was fantastic, unlike the weather on Sunday, which is blustery, cold and nasty!

Back from Ojo Caliente

We spent a glorious weekend in a private house at Ojo Caliente.

We went up on Saturday morning and came back tonight.

Most of the spa pictures were taken in bathing suits,

and I won't inflict them on you.

This could be known as too many photographers!

Peaceful scene on Sunday AM as we
started our marathon hike!



River, either Arriba or Chama, there is still
some confusion about which, and I
am too tired to look on a map to settle the name.

The hill in the backgroud is the one that we hiked up,

then walked around the back of it to get to the Posi

ruins on the mesa.

Above Ojo Caliente there is a pueblo site of the

Posi tribe. It is tradition if you find a pot

shard, it should be placed in a spot of

honor, and we are placing a shard here.

There are a lot of shards, as you can see here.

2009- ALREADY???

This is my horoscope for today:
Lavish yourself with love and attention today! Go on, you deserve some pampering. And if your budget allows, buy yourself something you have been wanting for a while. You have to take care of yourself before you can take care of anyone else, so make sure you are happy. If you are in a relationship right now, make sure you aren't making your life all about this other person. You need your own identity. And if you are not in a relationship right now, make the most of your independence.

I think it is one day off. Tomorrow we are going to Ojo Caliente for soaks and relaxation. Luckily we are within 100 miles of there...
NO resulutions in my life, except to take better care of myself in 2009.

There is a great posting on Lesley Rileys blog about expectations and how

you need to be specific in what you need and want. You might check it out.

I also read several online newsletters and one of them suggested the

following website which details taking a vow for PEACE.

In the present world situation, I think this is an extremely fantastic option,

and I have taken the vow.
May you have a blessed and safe 2009.
