I have found my haven at a boutique farm outside Albuquerque in New Mexico. This is our starting point for a family reunion with Hannah, Charlotte, Sean and his family and friends who live near here. Yesterday was spent touring the grounds, swimming, relaxing in the sun and enjoying a fantastic gourmet meal at the farm to table restaurant, Campo, all amidst the call of the peacocks, tall bird filled trees, and the fresh scent of lavender and high desert air.
L to R are John, Hannah, David, me, Brody, Kelly, Charlotte, Sean, Barbara and Dave. you probably can’t see the plates, but the food was so so good.
The amazingly beautiful lobby.

The Spanish revival style borrows elements from the Alhambra, including pebble designs inlaid in the walkways and Spanish style tiled fountains.
Hello.
Today was alpaca shearing day. The alpacas weren’t all that happy about it.
The library in the original La Quinta Cultural Center designed John Gaw Meem. We could hang out here for hours, but the sunshine beckoned.

Romantic four poster bed…
And simple elegant bathroom
