Inn of the Mountain Gods

This past weekend was QUITE INTERESTING!!! As previously blogged, we had wonderful relatives over for supper Friday night.

Saturday, Phil participated with a group of counselling and outreach workers on whose governing board he is a member, in an outreach ministry to a low-income housing project. I regret not having any pictures but for most of the day, while giving out free lunch and hearing "Christain Rapping" the members shared the gospel with the apartment dwellers.


Amidst that, we attended a VERY interesting and unusual wedding mass! These attendent tuxs reminded me of the God Father movie!

Sunday, after church we drove to Ruidoso and had a great meal at the Inn of the Mountain Gods with our super, dupper friends Bruce and Beth! The "Buffet of the Nations" was fabulous. Phil especially enjoyed the "shrimp balls" although he got a little silly about them. Are they the seafood version of Rocky Mountain Oysters?

Monday morning we ate breakfast at "Ethel and Lucy's", a cute little shop with all kinds of I Love Lucy memorabilia and old shows constantly running on the t.v. in the corner. WE stopped at Bonita Park on the way home and visited some great friends.


In Roswell we picked up one of our favorite girls!!! Shanon was back from the far east where she helps care for abandoned, special needs children in an orphanage! She spent two wonderful days with us! On Monday we did something totally cool! There is a little lady in the same unit as Phil's dad at Retirement Ranch. No one speaks her language so in some way, she is in solitary confinement! I cannot understand why they have her there in the confined area. Shanon gave her a visit and they had a wonderful conversation. Among other things, she found out this precious lady is a Christian. She wouldn't tell Shanon how old she was other than she was older than twenty!
