Our very good friends the Lachmans are in Santa Fe at the same time as we are again. This time its a sad reason. Steve’s dad Marvin is in hospice care and the family is our visiting him and his wife Carol who live out where Max and Becky used to live. Last time we saw everyone it was last summer when they were out for Marvin’s 90th birthday. He’s an incredible guy  and known around the world as a book critic of mystery novels. Marvin and Carols house is like an incredible library . You can see pictures of it here when we visited back in 2020 .
Steve isn’t here, but his wife Kate, their son Matthew his wife Caroline and their 2 year old daughter Anna are here. We spent a good part of the day with them.. First we met Kate, Matthew, Caroline and Anna at the very fun Santa Fe Childrens museum It’s a big bright place with lots of great hands on fun. It was especially fun for me to look at it as a make of interactive exhibits.   It was also fun to try and see it through 2yo Anna’s eyes !

Later in the afternoon we all met up again at Harrys roadhouse. A really fun place we go to often thats down near where Kate and family are staying. Max actually helped pain the tables here when he and Becky first moved out here.   Its a fun and family friendly place .

It was great to get Max and Becky together with Matt and Caroline. Max and Matt have been friends since they were 8 weeks old !

Even though it was a bittersweet reason or happening.. It was a great visit..

Nite all, nite sam
