Snow in Albuquerque?

This seems to surprise people who have never been here. They think of New Mexico as a hot dry desert and some of it is but it doesn’t get very hot in the northern half of the state, upper 80′s to low 90′s is typical in the middle of summer. Even in summer the temperature drops a good 30, 40 or more degrees at night (most people keep a jacket in their car year round) so you don’t get heat build up. And because the humidity is quite low, it is quite comfortable except in monsoon season (july and august).

We had the first snow of the year in the entire country. We’re a mile high in elevation (we just don’t bang on about it like that other city). From my house it’s a 20 minute drive to the ski lift.

I just hope we don’t have a repeat of last year. We had quite a bit of snow in April that killed all the apple buds so we had no apple crop at all last year.

My week and weekend went by way to fast but it was very encouraging. As I was listening to the conference speakers, I was able to do some reverse engineering with my seam ripper, but how I wished I had the one you have refereed to Kathleen, I have to get one of those!!

On Tuesday, two of our boys and myself attended the NCFCA Speech and Debate Tournament (http://www.ncfca.org/Tournaments) and my blog: http://plumfieldcirca1868.wordpress.com/.

And then from Thursday to Saturday we attended the Family Economics Conference in Wheaton, IL. (http://familyeconomics2012.com/).

I tried to follow the logic but fell on my face when it came to the logic of owning oneself. Somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle, Ambrose Bierce is laughing himself breathless.

I prefer my shirt, tagged with the admonition, “Not to be used as pants”. Wrapping it over my head to be a T-shirt ninja is still OK!

Kathleen, how could you not do the laundry? After all, it’s your job.

It must be a joke. I think that we in the UK are also liable for our labling info. The label seen as a contract, the producer is responsible, the consumer not so much. In my garment technologies class we discuss this-if it is common practice, I can’t yet say.
