Miss Petrie and I went to see The Lion King last weekend. It was spectacular! I couldn’t take any pictures during the show, but the costumes, puppetry, and singing were breathtaking. Miss Petrie has been growing like a weed the past few months! I bought her school pants in July, by September they didn’t fit [...]
I went out for a quick morning errand the other day and there were balloons flying over my neighborhood. Albuquerque is the home of the International Balloon Fiesta. I understand there is a wind pattern that helps the balloons circle Albuquerque, making it an ideal place for this activity. Have a great day.
My cousin Annie came to visit us when Mr. Petrie was out of town. We had such a great time. My girls love her. Annie recently changed her diet to exclude gluten, so we went to some healthy restaurants and enjoyed fancy-schmancy Whole Foods. The delicious food in the above photo is from Annapurna, a [...]
Friday we got our first real snow of the season. Mr. Petrie got a two hour delay, but the ladies of Casa Petrie had a snow day. We watched cartoons, ate sandwiches, and went to the grocery store. Seeing all that gorgeous white fluff was truly a gift in our desert environment. Have a fun [...]
We have enjoyed the company of family the past few weeks. Fall in New Mexico means perfect weather and lots of fun stuff to do. First, Mr. Petrie’s parents visited. We watched the hot air balloons from this hiking area above the city. Then my parents visited. We were so excited to take them to [...]
The girls and I were visiting my family last week. We had lots of fun with the family and I tried to take lots of pictures. We had a wonderful time, but we’re happy to be back at Casa Petrie. Have a relaxing weekend.
Last week we had a cold spell that resulted in snow! I couldn’t believe it. Of course, I called Mr. Petrie at work and told him he should come home (he rides a motorcycle) and by the time he got home it was bright and sunny outside. Sorry, honey. But as you can see, [...]
Miss Petrie got in some more riding time at the Galloping Grace Youth Ranch in Rio Rancho last week. She had been wanting to ride Black since I had mentioned to her that he had been sick. He’s a 30-something year old horse and this poor old man had an evil tooth infection that [...]
I took these photos at the Albuquerque Zoo and the New Mexico State Fair. Have a great weekend!
Last week my moms club had the annual ice cream social at an adorable ice cream parlor called I Scream Ice Cream in Albuquerque. The store has all kinds of toys and is incredibly visually stimulating. The kids had a ball and we moms enjoyed socializing with ice cream. We did indeed meet near lunch [...]
