Vacation, All I Ever Wanted (not so much))

I told myself we would have so much fun today that I would not mind how broke Cady and I would be all next week when Joe is in Detroit. I lied. It wasn't that much fun. It was too hot. I decided we needed to take Gage. He was good but it wasn't a little guy kind of day. He had fun just going someplace with us but still. We wandered the tiny cobblestone streets of Old Mesilla going in this shop and that. When I had reached a years worth of stress level, I happened upon a nice little wine cafe. Tapas and wine. I sampled 4 wines and admitted to the lady I just needed a buzz and wasn't interested in how fruity it was or wasn't. She was cool with that and we had a nice visit while Joe played outside with Gage. Cady hung with me. Gage was in a very talky mood today. My ears still ring. It was talking with the volume turned up to max. We did like going into the old building that was once the courthouse where Billy the Kid was sentenced to hang. it would be fun to back back in the fall without kids. Cady found a wonderful old General Store bldg that had been made into a book store. That is where Joe is reading to Gage. We found some amazing books. Too bad the humidity was 100%. I should know better I suppose. Still, as I look at the pictures I can see it was a better time that it seemed then.Gage wants me to lay down with him so good nite John-Boy.
