Silver City

my aunt lives in silver city

Inspired by a clipping: The Nature Conservancy has “Bear Mountain Lodge” there, which looks interesting. (www.bearmountainlodge.com). I think there’s a Friends Meeting there, too, which J&M N from Palo Alto Meeting attend at times.

My dad lived here along time ago.Went to visit for 1 month. Pretty much a boring little town, but I made friends with some kids and we went to some ” hot springs water hole” which was fun. I remember that the main street is a “hang out ” for all the kids that have their D.L- the city has a restriction on how many times you can go back and forth on the main drag( maybe just wrong memory?) My dad and I did go to Pinos Altos which was cool. I wouldn’t drive out of my way for this town= but if your near by it’s worth checking out.

I had my early childhood conference - a terrific one - this morning at the Western New Mexico University Child Development Center. One highlight was a drummer, Rosario Carelli, who had all the conference participants using African drums and other instruments. It was an inspiring finale! After the conference I walked all around the historic downtown, including the Big Ditch park that runs right through the downtown. I shot a photo of a guitar player in front of the Silver City Food Coop, a place a love.

Until I take the beautiful drive through the mountains to Silver City, and I’m looking forward to it! I know I’m going to a conference for work, but I’m going to try to enjoy myself, too!
