*It was wonderful spending time with Shannon last week/weekend! Crafting, shopping, driving, laughing, and a few hysterical games of Trivial Pursuit with Dear Daughter were just what the doctor ordered. I shared photos of Rosie’s Workshop with you, but I won’t be done with her thank-you chipboard book until sometime tomorrow since I ran out of color ink for my printer. Funny how that happens right in the middle of some fun craft!
*Old Mesilla was windy and dusty for our last excursion, so much so that the weekend vendors stayed away. We visited a few shops, but mostly the kids ran, twirled, and otherwise stayed away from all things breakable:
…while Shannon and I ventured a bit closer to the pretties we found:
A shopkeeper even pointed us in the direction of a little nook inbetween shops similar to the ones that Tara had just posted about :
* It was incredible being part of Oprah’s “webinar” last night, with author Eckhart Tolle, discussing A New Earth. Incredible until everything crashed- my screen froze up, and nothing would load. Apparently with a global community of participants (over 139 countries were represented), the web slows down a bit. Okay, more than a bit. But it was still amazing. I still have to visit Oprah.com to download the rest of what I missed last night. New ways of thinking, paradigm-shifting… very neato topics. We’ll see what happens next Monday night!
* Catching up on my blog-reading, I came across a link to housemartin who posted something that made me think of my mother: knitting. Go look. I want the rug. You have knitting needles that size, don’t you Mom?
* Another link I stumbled across features sock monkeys, but not the old brown and cream ones- these are happy happy happy!
* Sally Jean has posted her list of suggestions for ways to celebrate March…
* And finally, right before the ol’ diet starts up again, Smitten Kitchen posts on homemade devil dog, ding dong, or hostess cake.

I will have to look for the book New Earth, as I’ve heard a few people talk about it. Looks like you had a lovely time! I appreciate the photos of the alleyway and shrine, especially! Thanks for the nod!
I’ve heard so much about New Earth!
Oh, those pretties are GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!! I’m so glad you had such a great time! I’m envious!
