Detail of one of Sharon' quilts.
I think the last time I saw Sharon was 1972. She thinks 1975. In any case.... a long time so there is a lot to visit about. Santa Fe is known for many things... Georgia O"Keefe, Opera, Art, Restarants.... Sharon and Mike"s new favorite is Jambo, African homestyle cooking. It was great and I have some leftover for tonight! Check it out at www,Jambocafe.net.
I ended up staying in Sharon and Mike’s condo parking lot and slept well despite worry about glasses. By morning I had decided to get my
Rx from Dr. Dixon and have Lenscrafters make me a new pair. I figured that if they couldn’t make them in a day that I could pick them up at Lenscrafters in Oklahoma City. (There are three stores there).
Mike and Sharon’s Café had coffee, eggs and sausage on the menu and I even got a load of wash done. Thanks, S&M!
The Goldworks said they could probably fix the glasses so I decided to get them fixed and order a new pair.
Mike took me downtown since Sharon is suffering terrifically from the Juniper Pollen in the air. Goldworks did a great job with my glasses… so good I decided I didn’t need another pair (which meant that Chris and I could follow our plans to meet in Amarillo tonight) While we were waiting for the glasses Mike showed me a little of the Santa Fe Plaza and we went into Packards, (shoppackards.com), a beautiful Indian Arts store that has been on the Plaza since 1920. It appears that I should treat the Ganado Rugs that I inherited from my folks with more respect. Mike also took me to a camera store where I was able to get SD card that will accommodate my microSD card in my phone so that I can easily download phone pictures to my computer. Kit had showed me how in Kingman. Thanks, Kit!
I have always known that Sharon was artistically talented and I have known for years that she was making quilts but this was the first time I had an opportunity to see some of them. Wow! She made the one in the pictures for her grandson. I only saw pictures of the one she made for her daughter depicting her athletic accomplishments. Many panels from the time Lara was sledding at six years to rock climbing as an adult. Awesome work!
