The morn has broken--with Winston guarding Mommie's purse, in case she has to spend some money today....................

But, Mommie is being treated today by her ever lovin' hubby to a downtown lunch date..........

Our plan was to try out a new restaurant with an outdoor patio right off Burro Alley...........

But unfortunately, we chose the one day the new restaurant is closed. So we take a photo of the Lensic roof line against a beautiful New Mexico blue sky........

And take the obligatory donkey picture....................

And instead have a fabulous meal at Tia Sophia's where Dwight delights in the mother of all sopapillas! Ain't life grand in Santa Fe in the summertime?.....................
