Un Poco Mas de Santa Fe 2017

The week continued with more cooking, schlepping, and walks with Bella. When Anna and Rob returned at the beginning of the next week, we celebrated Anna's birthday in a somewhat more official way. It turns out that Clara, like me, is a Great British Baking Show aficionada. We watched several episodes together and were inspired to bake, including something for Anna's birthday.

"Wonderful layers and a decadent covering of cream-cheese frosting, 

beautifully presented on an heirloom platter"

We love these people

Listening to Trevor Noah's biography on Audible, the miles whizzed by and we are home now for a couple of days. We are, however, headed to Arizona and California as October begins. So this is all for now.
