Grooving in Cerillos

Cerillos is actually our post office, although I wouldn't tell anybody to send us mail there because we'd never think to pick it up. It was the best place to think of for "Grooving in" because the four of us started out the day with a nice hike in the Cerillos Hills. As usual I worked my little short legs as fast as I could and then immediately fell asleep in the car.

Then we went to Santa Fe to drop off Mom and Diane for a full (!) day of shopping, and Dad and I came back to the Casita which technically is in Madrid ... so you can see why I settled on Cerillos -- it's in the middle of all what we did. Dad worked on the Problem of Draining the Water System for Winter, and ended up buying an air compressor as part of all that. (Don't ask me ...)

And then we went back up to Santa Fe to pick up Mom and Diane, who looked pretty tired from all their shopping.

We ended up back at the Casita at sunset, which is where you see me and Mom. (The sunset was much nicer than the photo shows.) They all had sausage and corn grilled over the chiminea, but didn't offer me any.

Anyway, we're all off to bed at a reasonable hour for once (!), because we're up early tomorrow to travel to Gallup and maybe Zuni for jewelry shopping.

p.s. Dad got up this morning and first thing tried to start the hot water heater again, and it started right up! They are all very happy about that, although as I've mentioned before, I don't care much about hot water one way or the other.
