perfect weekend picture post

Last weekend I escaped


to this marvelous place with my best friend of decades to celebrate her birthday weekend.

We started with a 90-minute massage. No pictures. Obviously.


After that we checked into our lovely little B&B.


A much different feel from last fall's escape to Whisper's Ranch.

Delicious dinner served on the patio at a local eatery. Everything we did was within walking distance. Here's our before-dinner goat cheese quesadilla.


And our after-dinner chocolate foam pyramid (the busser described the desserts to us). I call it a Grand Teton. Deelish.

Sculpture garden adjacent to the restaurant.


Kinetic.


Colorful.


Kitschy nichey: la Virgen de Guadalupe's little corner shrine.


Morning coffee knitting klatsch.


Breakfast came in a basket: croissant, yogurt, cheese, orange juice, and bananas.


Local cemetery.


Another home for the Virgin.


Equine encounter.


Shopping.


Talavera.


Profusion.


I try.

We've been friends since second grade. That's three decades plus. I'm totally rockin' the Brett Michaels vibe. Those must be Ana's favorite ratty shorts. She's had them forever. Our hiking companion, Chel, who Ana knows from high school. saguaros and chollas, oh my
