SITA'S ROSIE (AND ROSIE'S ABBEY)

Rosie is my little sister Sita's dear old friend. Rosie lives in Taos NM with her red-headed Asha (who is off fighting a wild-fire), and her big fluffy bear of a dog Abbey (named after the late, great, naturalist Edward Abbey). Rosie reminds me a lot of my sister, and I remind her of my sister too, so we're sisters of a kind--and though we've only met once before--its like we go way back. Today (Sat June 1) Zach, Rosie, Abbey and I are going to go for a drive/hike to check out some of the good things that Taos has to offer--mountain vistas, hot springs and beer. A good way to spend a Saturday.

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.--E.A.
