A pinch and a punch for the first of the month from Elliott who has a birthday this month.  We trust that you are being a very, very good boy and that Santa will soon be coming.........

HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2011!

 We are very excited and grateful to be able to celebrate this most American of holidays this year....

 We are invited to Casa Montoya where daughter Sisi has set a gorgeous table and prepared a lavish spread.....

 One of the great excitements of the day is that Baby Binks arrived in Santa Fe just in time for dinner--Frannie obviously approves.....

 And Carlitos obviously approves of the delicious food..............

 Dwight is happy because as Sisi puts it :  "our lives turn to technicolor from black and white when the kids are here"............

 I am especially happy to see Danny up and about and really getting a handle on his life again after his episode with ill health.............

 Our Chef Extraordinaire definitely knows how to toast our blessings on this day.............

 Among the special blessings we at Cielo Azul have to be thankful for are our beloved pets--some quite domestic..........

 One still totally feral................

 And even some that are extraordinairly adorable.............

 I'm also very, very thankful for my hubby and bestest nurse, Dwightie.............

 And appreciate Danny a little bit more this year........

 I also totally appreciate all my dear friends and family who have been so kind to me as I recover from foot surgery--THANKS SO MUCH!

So from all of us in our little corner of the world--HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL!

 THE FANTASTICAL CHAVEZ COLLECTION!-SEPTEMBER 2011

Just prior to Fiesta, Sisi arranged a showing of her fabulous Fiesta Dress Collection--also Squaw Dresses and Patio dresses.  So scroll down to enjoy lots of beautiful dresses, gorgeous models and lots of fun!  Bcause this is the largest post I have ever posted to this blog, and because I am recovering from foot surgery, I sort of wimped out on the descriptions and on including any rating of the dresses.  However, you, gentle readers, may want to rate the collection yourself by voting on the comment section at the bottom of the post for your favorite dress and your favorite photo.  (If you want to copy any photo, just click on it to open it up to full size, then right click on the opened image and select "Save as". After saving, just back arrow back to the blog.)  This is photo #1
