home away from home

For those who don't know, I was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  If you have never had the pleasure of visiting - you are missing out!  The tag line for this state capital is: City Different...and it lives up to that.  On my recent visit I mentioned to my family that one of the things I love about New Mexico is it is hard to tell the homeless people from the millionaires. There are plenty of both, and they seem to have a similar style - disheveled hair, wrinkled, cotton clothing, and sandals. This isn't the only thing I love about New Mexico.

New Mexico is a part of who I am. It is where I was raised. Where I graduated from college. Where I go back to visit often. It holds such a special place in my heart that I decided to dedicate a room in our house to my "homeland."

After it was done I asked Kenyon what he thought. He said, "it looks like New Mexico." Mission accomplished - though I don't think I had told him that was what I was going for, which is even better.

We still have lots of empty spaces, but one room has made some progress.
