This is the year that Juella turns 21. Well, she did turn 21 one week ago. Anyway, she moved out of her mom's apartment and lives with 2 of her best friends. So far they are getting along quite well. Juella took along her pets to live with. So far she has Jimmy, Brownie, Chocolate (my name for her cuz I don't remember her name!), and her newest pet, Mo Mo. Jimmy is the cat, Brownie and Chocolate are guinea pigs and Mo Mo is her dog. They all get along together. Will have to get pics of these guys to share. These guys live with other pets at that household and they all seem to get along. I think they added two more cats to their growing animal kingdom!
The Balloon Fiesta has come and gone! Some days were good, most seemed to be bad with the winds. I did go see the Glowdeo. Didn't really get to see the balloons up in the air much. Well, they seemed to have flown in the other direction from where I was. I was not ready to go to the other side to watch them! So I just watched them go away!! There were several accidents but none were fatal. I think that was on everyone's minds because whenever there was mention of an accident, first question was 'did anyone die?' One morning the pilots were told they can fly at their own risk as they cancelled all ballooning events due to the winds. That was the day several balloons were blown into the power lines and one landed at the airport on one of the runways. I think they got in trouble for doing that. But what else could they do? It's not like it's done all the time. Then there's Sandia Pueblo that said the balloonists could not take off on their land but they could land there. Hmmm. sometimes I wonder about these Pueblos.
The State Fair was in September. It was pretty much ok. For me now, it was, you've been to the fair once, you've seen it all. It really wasn't that interesting to me. It's always the same thing each year. Why go each year and spend more money that you could use in a more sensible place. The one thing that people do look forward to is the Navajo or Indian Taco (depends on who makes it!!) That, you don't find anywhere, but the fair. You can get your turkey legs, cotton candy and whatever else people go for any where else. The Indian Village is one of the more popular places because you can't get that kind of food or entertainment any where else but there. Now if you have friends that are Native Americans and can make such food, they you are in luck!!
