You are so creative in your posts. I think that is a fun way to tell about your weekend. Love the elk picture, talk about gross.

You are hilarious. I will never look at a Mrs. Butterworths bottle the same. And the elk - YUCK! I'm so glad my husband isn't a hunter. And if you could eat that much junk food and not gain a pound, I want your secret!:) Sounds like lots of fun!

I lived in Arizona for nine years. We went to New Mexico frequently. I have a bff who lives in Las Cruces. Your pictures are all great! I love the way you do your posts.
