Many of you, my sweet bloggy friends, have asked for an update on Autumn. This week something happened…..and we have been left reeling from it all and feeling very frustrated, to say the least. About 3 weeks ago Autumn had to go to Albuquerque for a second MRI. The doc wanted to see if the…

Realizing that many of you might never have been to this neck of the woods, I thought you, my sweet bloggy friends, might want to see this desert landscape drive from our home to Albuquerque.

I could not climb into bed tonight without updating you, our friends…..so here’s a brief recap…. Just as planned we took off for Albuquerque at 3am. About a half hour into New Mexico I was sound asleep (good thing I wasn’t driving, huh?). I woke up about 2 hours later long enough to reposition my…
