Another thing we love about Santa Fe is the sun. There’s just so much of it and it’s always spectacular whether it’s super bright and clear or the gorgeous sunsets. These are sun rays  around sun rise.

There are many things we love about this place

One of the pleasures of being out in Santa Fe is getting to take Violet to the dog park… She loves it so much and it’s such a beautiful place to explore… We’re gonna do this every day we can

OK, it didn’t dawn on me until July 5 but the pills I take every morning are almost red white and blue

Today was a work day around the house. DIane and I are working to help Max and Becky get ready for the baby. 

Not much else to report.. but Chad came buy.. that was nice.  kind of funny to see him out of uniform 🙂

Happy Fourth of July everybody… It’s an opportunity to think about patriotism. I love my country and feel patriotic, but I hate our current government. That does not shake my love for the country. Let’s hope our democracy corrects itself as it always has in the past.

Diana and I took a walk this morning waiting for Max and Becky’s house to wake up… Today is portal fest and there’s gonna be a lot to do as their house is one of the stages

People showing up to set up the stage and stuff and we helped out as best we could

Diane and I got a chance to walk around and check out some of the other music which was fun

The staff had a change of people and it turned out that the new staff member at Max and Becky’s was Aviva… The daughter of friends of mine from Montpelier

We finally tracked down our good friend Chad… He had two bands there… One was called sad Barbie and I don’t remember the name of the other. He’s like 6 foot four and he and his band partners were dressed up in drag to play the most amazing music… Chad is an amaz, cool guy. Fantastic bass player… Which is another thing I never knew.

Ran into this guy with a rough T-shirt, which was really weird because her friend Bobby is in that band in Vermont… this guy was kind of a groupie of theirs

at the end of the festival there was an after party and Max was DJing. On the way there we got to see some of the fireworks and part of a drone show… Pretty impressive.

Max did a great show !

What a day.. 
happy fourth everybody
