September in Gallup!

 It's hard to believe another September has come and gone.  Holy cow, does the time ever fly!  Here are the things we remembered to take pictures of.

I had an appointment in Albuquerque at at ENT because of my dry-mouth.  The dad took the day off to go with me, so we went to town early and went geocaching in the neighborhood I grew up in.  This is the home I grew up in - 3412 Anderson Ave. SE.  I loved that home.  It was a wonderful place to grow up.  It looks very different now than when I lived there.

We found a geocache outside the cemetery where my parents are buried.  I sure do miss them!

This cute little turtle bench is at the Ernie Pyle Branch Library not far from my house.  I spent many happy hours there as I was growing up!

We picked a bunch of Prickly Pear Tunas at a lot across the street from the house I grew up in, and we made Prickly Pear Jelly!

We had a lot of grapes on our vines this year.  We !bottled several pints of grape juice

The dad went on a business trip to Las Vegas for a SHERM Conference.  The weekend he was gone, I went over to Farmington to stay with Brian, Chelsea and crew for the weekend.
 

While I was there, I got a call from Ron and Cindy Wiser.  They were in Farmington for some Coordinating Council Meetings.  They didn't even know I was there!  I was staying with the kids while Brian and Chelsea went on a date.  I invited them over, and they came to visit for about an hour!  It was great to see them again!

Our September recipe from our NM Food Calendar was stuffed Sopapillas!
