Patton Alley with Friends
We went to Patton Alley Pub with Chris, Kim, Curtis and Jason. Here’s a pic of Chris, Kim and Celeste all laughing about something (probably a TV show we were talking about).

Snake on the Chair
Celeste’s mom found a cute little snake out on one of our porch chairs. The chairs are a mesh metal and, apparently, the little guy liked the coolness of the metal with the breeze blowing under his body. She moved him away once, but saw him crawling back up onto one again not long after. So we caught him, examined him (made sure he wasn’t poisonous), and photographed him then took him about a mile away to release him.
Celeste’s mom also used the opportunity to train their dog to stay away from snakes by letting her start to smell it then jerking on her leash and yelling a lot at her. She (the dog) stayed WELL away from even our mentioning the snake from then on. Lesson learned I think.

CB Radios
I’ve started a new category called “Memories” on the blog. This will be a place for me or Celeste to post fun memories we think of… whether they’re from last week or childhood… this will be things from the past.
To start, I was just thinking about how my dad always had CB radios when I was a kid. It was the 70s and CBs were the only way to keep in touch with people “on the go”. A lot like cell phones now-a-days we used the CB to talk to my mom and dad when they were driving around town. My dad’s call sign was “Star Duster” and my mom was “Lady Starduster”. Jason and I had numerous call signs through the years… “The Hulk” was one of mine I remember… but mostly they just called us “boys” or by our names.
We had a big antenna on top of our house and you could pretty much talk to anyone all over town. It was all hooked up to a “big” CB that was located in my dad’s photography studio and we would leave that “big” CB on all the time and when my parents would leave… always “listening” for it to sqwak in.
The best thing was when they’d be gone and we’d here them calling us to ask us if we wanted anything from McDonald’s, or Burger King, or Cashew Chicken. That was something you always hoped for with the CB.

LOTS Going on
It’s Celeste
Well, we’ve been busy. I guess that’s proof that it’s summertime. What’s happened around the Green House? Let’s see . . .
1) We welcomed our dear friend, Wendy, to our house for her first visit to NM. We drank a lot of coffee, went to Madrid, and enjoyed some NM scenery that we often take for granted. It’s so nice to have visitors. They make us see things differently. I especially enjoyed getting to know Wendy better. I hope to have her (and Dave )out again soon! 
2) We celebrated Noel’s Birthday! I must say I did a good job planning his day. He pretty much had a “stormtrooper” themed day (just like a kid!). We saw Ironman, had yummy Thai food, and he got to order the Master Replicas stormtrooper helmet:).
3) Our great friends, Kim and Chris came to visit us for about a week. We got to go see Spamalot (finally) here in town! We had a great time enjoying and catching up with our dear friends.
4) Noel and I celebrated 4 years of marriage on the 12th. We’ve decided that we are the most blessed people in the world. I’m so thankful - every day - for the gift of Noel.
I’m sure I’ve forgotten something major that’s happened. But for now, that’s enough:). We hope everyone is having a great summer!

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
We saw this today, and all I have to say is THANK YOU George Lucas, Stephen Spielberg, Harrison Ford, and everyone else for NOT screwing this up!!!
It was perfect!

Breakfast at Gold Street Caffe
We took Jason back to the Gold Street Caffe this morning for breakfast on the way to the airport. It was so yummy! Jason and I got a green chili cheese biscuit with salmon, mascarpone cheese, tomatoes and 2 poached eggs. Celeste had some toast (with her own personal jar of jam) and a couple of eggs. It was all so delicious and we decided should be a tradition to take people to eat there on the morning they leave.

Eating at Bumble Bee’s
We took Jason to Bumble Bee’s the night before he left. It was good because he had fish tacos, which he had never had before, and which are a very “New Mexican” dish.
