Here's to long weekends!

Saturday's celebration of Independence Day started with a 10:00 concert at NMSU of the Mesilla Valley Concert Band. It rained enough before to soak the music and make us all steamy, but the crowd seemed to not be put off. Stu, Jake and Quincy were all there, but only Jake made the front page of today's paper (above the fold!), perched in a tree watching the concert. Photo is at the right.

We finished the day watching the town's fireworks display at a friend's house.

Last weekend we got a new kitten -- Muse moved in to be a playmate to Widget. Widget has not yet appreciated this to the extent we hope she will, but Annie follows Muse around, totally entranced. Muse is about 3 months old and very playful. She was a pound kitty, but she had been fostered out to the pet food store. As we still get pet food from there, I am now afraid that they think we are suckers for every cat needing a new home...

Other news? Quincy finished up her run as stage manager for This is our youth, a play at LC's Black Box Theater directed by NMSU's CMI screenwriting instructor Amy Lanasa. Jacob will be doing some reseach for a food-safety lab on NMSU campus this summer, and Rosie still snores.
