Picuris Pueblo

Yesterday Cynthia and I spent an with Grandma Ann of the Picuris Pueblo...loved it. I only intended to walk her down the muddy road to get back to her house from the luncheon the Senior Center served each day for its elders...her knees were obviously really bad as I watched her hold the walls of the building to make her way to the steps to the road. Holding hands, we walked through the mud, wet from the snow that had fallen the day before. Then, at her house she invited us in and we spent some time listening to her wonderful stories of her family, her life, her husband (who she missed afte r8 years) and putting wood into her fire. Great times! She invited us back for their run and dance celebrations in August. Then we lunched in Penasco (I had yummy chile relleno & loved the honey soaked sopapilla--sorry diet!) and went to visit Cynthia's friends at the Penasco Health Clinic... good day!
