The first half of October this year was pretty tame. We had family dinner with those who were around, and we hosted Group Dinner at our house. The only thing different from the usual routine was Kris making Halloween costumes for the Colver kiddos. Mid October, Debra Sue Darling Gibbs arrived in Provo to join us on a visit to Santa Fe. We had enough time in Provo before the trip to do some leaf-peeping in Provo Canyon and on the back side of Timpanogos. We went to New Mexico to stay with Clara who really needs no help besides some chauffeuring. Rob and Anna were off to Spain for a couple of weeks. The themes of our Santa-Fe visit were food and some serious shopping! We took Debby to all our favorite spots. We enjoyed some incredibly beautiful fall drives and visits to some wonderful sites.
Family Dinner
Stewart Cirque without a trace of snow this year
Back of Timp looking toward Cascade Mountain
The colors were perfect
The aspen trunks take center stage
Off to Santa Fe: Navajo tacos in Cortez, Colorado
Debby's shot of the beautiful mesas along NM 599
Anna headed to Spain with Rob (and Lucy Jane)
The start of the food tour
This is how I like think of myself
New Mexico gave us beautiful sunsets night after night
More Mexican food at Tesuque Market
Tesuque Market
Lunch at the Tea House on Canyon Road in Santa Fe
Quintessential adobe-style building on the Old Santa Fe Trail
Dickie and Clara waiting for the shoppers
I had my turn at the Rainbow Man on East Palace Avenue
The courtyard of the Rainbow Man store was where the folks who
made the atom bomb met for their ride to
Los Alamos northwest of Santa Fe
The Rainbow Man is my favorite Native American craft store, and
our favorite supplier of Pendleton blankets
Off to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum where we
had a reservation for an afternoon visit
Not all the art in Santa Fe is in museums and galleries
O'Keefe's work is readily recognizable
But this piece is quite unusual
Parts II and III will follow, but this is all for now.
