Our first morning in Ruidoso we had the deer eating out of our hands…literally…and our hair! This sweet little girl came right up to our doorstep and she was sooo dainty…unlike the hoggy one that showed up at dinnertime.
This was truly an amazing experience…a Hospice fundraiser butterfly release. We each got a little cold butterfly to warm in our hands and then everyone opened their box and the butterflies wake up hungry and immediately go to the flowering plants placed in a circle.
During the week we took in some sights – isn’t this picturesque?
Everywhere there’s a view.
Here I am…seventh runner up in the Miss Apache Muscalero contest along with the other runners up! I think maybe that’s a cardboard cutout of Carol!
A drive to the Apache ski resort at the top of a mountain nearly did Vertigo Vera (aka Barbara) in.
We did a whole lotta this. Breakfast in, lunches out and paired up to cook dinner each night.
My friends the posers!
Of course we crafted. We decorated our trick or treat bags, made tags for a friend, worked in journals, and made a book…Advice from a butterfly. We each made a page then made copies and then all make a paper bag album.
Did I mention the view????
While shopping at the Iris Farm we discovered their meadow. The grass was like velvet. Well, what do drought stricken Texas girls do when they see green grass???
Here’s a highlight…a BEAR came to our dumpster right by our condo. Here he is making off with a bag. He was HUGE. We got in the car to get more pics and who got out to get a closer shot??? Daredevil Patty. We had been warned what to do in case of a bear encounter but Patty figured all she had to do outrun whoever she was with. HAHA
Oh yes, we ran into some fellow Texans. Yep, really.
If you’re going to have a little parallel parking mishap…be sure you hit fellow Texans. It’s just another way to make new friends and get invited to stay at their house should you ever be in Tyler!!!!
So that’s it…Adios from Ruidoso….

Would love to see detail in all the crafts you made - you could do one blog entry on each one. They are such great ideas! How much fun could a bunch of ladies have!! PAM
ReplyDeleteIt was so good to get home, but your entry is making me homesick for New Mexico and our sweet Mule deer visitor...I'm miffed at my Texas Whitetail yearlings...I woke this morning to discover that they had yellow rosebuds for their midnight snack...just when the bush was starting to recover from the drought and getting ready to bloom...thanks for posting all the wonderful memories...we really packed a lot of memories into one short week!!!
ReplyDeleteWow Nancy, it really looks like you had a wonderful time! I love the shot of you rolling in the grass - I would have done the same thing! And the bear - to quote Dorothy, OH MY! Sorry about the little parking incident, but I'm glad you made some new friends! What a wonderful trip, thanks for sharing these fun photos. Kathy
