It was a relatively uneventful day today. I didn't even take any pictures. We stayed around Santa Fe, starting off with breakfast at home and then going to some of the local shops we had been wanting to visit. While Dennis took care of some business on the phone, I walked a half block to a yarn store. I didn't need anything, but I like to get my yarn fix. Dennis was done by the time I got back, so we walked across the street to the Lucchese boot shop. Couldn't afford anything in that shop. Around the corner was a hat shop we wanted to visit. We went in and talked with the shop owner for awhile. I found a leather hat band with what I thought was several sterling silver geese around it. The shopkeeper said they were actually wild turkeys. Turkeys! We had to have it. So we left the hat to have the band sewn on.
Next we walked over to the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum near the central square. Interesting, but I only like some of her work. She was an interesting person, though. We walked a few doors down and found a pet supply and grooming shop. We went in just to get our doggie fix. No dogs, but we looked at doggie things.
We were hungry by then, so we went to the Blue Corn Restaurant a few blocks away. After lunch we went back to pick up Dennis's hat, but the shopkeeper was at lunch so we went to another museum, the New Mexico Museum of History. Now my feet were beginning to hurt, so we went next to pick up Dennis's hat and go home for a rest.
I think we are getting tired of being on vacation. Dennis has had to handle some work issues and I am way over my 4 day limit. I am, however, getting a lot of ideas for my own jewelry making. I hope I can remember what I'm seeing by the time we get home.
Tonight, I think we are going to go out for a little dessert. We are still stuffed from lunch, so we won't go out to dinner.
Tomorrow we are leaving Santa Fe in the afternoon, driving back to Albuquerque so we can ride the tram. Friday we will drive over to Gallup to see what they have in the Pawn. We'll stay overnight in Albuquerque, then fly home Saturday.
At least that's the plan.
