rain and 80 years

the las conchas fire is 100% contained as of yesterday (36 days later). lots of damage done. now the summer monsoons are roaring in. thanks to God!
and...

my gramma bama turned 80 last week on July 28! see my cousin nick's wonderful tribute to her on youtube and be on the lookout for younger, dorky and some naked-with-fat-rolls pictures from days gone by:

Watch Gramma's Tribute Parte Dos

and here is gramma's concha belt she commissioned an indian guy to make back in the 1940s. she wore it every day with her red navajo shirt, 501s, and mocassin booties when she was only 17. way to swing it, ba! wish i had that outfit!

i hear franco stole a concha for a barrette back in the 70s......go figure!

sorry, i missed you party, bama. i got tired. they make me do wierd things.

love,

your dog
