RED RIVER, NEW MEXICO

Red River was our 5th leg of our mountain vacation. 

This beautiful mountain town is best known for SNOW SKIING..

but it offers TROUT FISHING as well.

Now....we LUV to fish.

We always do the catch and release...

never eat them.

ANYway, we planned to catch a BUNCH of fish but SOME plans never pan out.

We had mountain showers several times a day so we really fished only about 3 hours one afternoon and 

caught only ONE fish.

Our lines got tangled together....

Oh, alRIGHT   !!!

 .....I accidentally cast MY line over HIS

and just about the time this happened, a fish decided he liked our bait.

He was caught but in his fight to survive, he really did a number on our lines and 

just about tied them in knots..

we had to cut the lines with me holding on the fishing lines so I could pull this fish in,

Mr. Sweet could get the hook out and  could throw him back into the pond.

Long story, short....we're not sure WHO caught this baby fish.

I said "YOU can tell everybody YOU caught this little one..."

"I'll tell them about my HUGE one that.....got away."

You can see the ski runs on the mountain in the above photo.

Chair lifts were running so people could see the beautiful view.

We didn't ride it as just about the time we were THINKING of riding,

the sweet rain started.

We met this sweet and fun couple at one of the popular restaurants in town when they asked us to share a breakfast table with them.

We spent several hours with them...
the fellas, sitting on outdoor benches, solving all the problems of the world....

Sherri and I SHOPPED....we were BORN to shop...
WE ARE WOMEN.....
HEAR US ROAR !!!  

 This cafe is famous for their

BIG PANCAKE..... 

so of course, I had to order one....

and, sure 'nuf......

it was big....DINNER PLATE SIZE.

(excuse this photo of moi....
NO MAKE-UP 
was THE RULE OF THE DAY the whole vacation.....yay)

After one of the glorious rains,

we were gifted with this beautiful blessing.

Not as bright as some rainbows I've seen.....

but beautiful, never the less.

 

Another cute cafe was done in black and white with red...

THIS one was somewhere in Colorado, I think.

Great stuffed baked potatoes. ♥

BLACK, WHITE with RED makes my heart beat a little faster..!!!

We are still on vacation....probably home in a couple of days.

Today.....it's the historic SANTA FE, NM

Planning to visit the olden Governor's Palace

and their historic OLD TOWN PLAZA.

It should be FUN !
