Birthday Gift

This is what I got for my Daddy for his birthday. I got him these items because he is a man that doesn't need much, and he was pretty set when it comes to stand by typical daddy gifts. For him the stand by gifts include golf balls, and golf tees.

But he does like old things. So one of the best places in Albuquerque to find cool old things is in antique stores. Duh. They always have neat, different, and unique things, and the inventories are always changing. I recommend checking them out for those of you need to get gifts, and don't know what to get.

I got him an old oil can that I cleaned the grunge off of, and an old wrench. He really liked them both.

::A Thankful Thanksgiving::

Well I haven't blogged much lately, I have just been feeling so overwhelmed with school, and just trying to finish the semester. Sometimes it seems like life just gets to a point where each day you are just trying to make it through the day rather than enjoying it and the beauty of it. It is so wonderful to be home for the holidays 

and...

 There are so many things I am thankful for everyday. This weekend I am just so thankful of my family.

 

My Mother is a wonderful woman a couple of weeks ago she broke her foot with a fall, and even though she is limited she still does all she can for my family. Here she is cooking us our thanksgiving meal.

My Daddy, he is a wonderful provider he always makes sure that his family is taken care of. With my mother currently as she is he really has been doing everything he can to make sure that she is comfortable, and not doing to much. He has been doing everything he can for her. 

It just so happened this year that my big brothers birthday landed on Thanksgiving!!!!

He couldn't come home for the holidays :( we really wish he was here, it just isn't the same without him. I am so thankful to have him as my brother, I can honestly say that he is one of my best friends, I can't wait to hang out with him this Christmas.

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Hispanic Contemporary Market

Ok so this happened last weekend I just haven't had a chance to post it. It was so much fun, it was held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and there were tons of booths with so many unique pieces of art work.

 

  I loved the colors of these pieces of furniture.

There were quite a few artists with pieces that had a Dia de los Muertos theme going on, they were very interesting

I loved that the artist of these used natural rocks that were already so beautiful with the moss and colors, and he didn't alter the natural beauty but added to it with the cute little birds perched upon it. 

1). I like Giraffes, and 2). I like when unexpected supplies are used.

As my mother and I were walking she was looking for her cousins name that she had met a couple of weeks ago,  for the first time since childhood. My mom was able to spot her because she recognized some of her art that she had shown her when my mom visited. 

It was a nice day, and even the weather was on our side it was a little overcast with some nice cloud cover so it wasn't even a scorching day.
