House of the Witches of Santa Fe

Near the oldest church in America, Mission San Miguel, is a centuries old house, the Casa Vieja de Alnaco. The Conquistadores who invaded the area area they named Santa Fe brought with them Franciscan friars and Tlaxcaltecan Indian workers (slaves?) from Mexico to build the mission chapel of San Miguel the Archangel. The Franciscans had the workers build themselves this dwelling. The Casa Vieja originally had two floors and housed 12 families. The sleeping rooms were on the second level, reached by a pole and rope ladder. The fireplaces are built into corners of the adobe walls, and while there is electricity, earlier in the dim cool house windows let in the light. The second floor has been demolished during this century, and the main floor is now below street level. The skeleton on display was unearthed in the house. It is thought to be the remains of a young soldier who bought a love charm from two witches who lived in the house. When the lady married another, the

On a Wild Goose Chase

Glamorous Goose Aspen Meadows Senior Living In 2002 the Art in Public Places of Longmont, Colorado did a collaborative project with local artists and art groups called Geese Galore, and 34 Colorado artists were selected to create them.

The Firehouse Gallery used to have maps, long outdated, but now no longer available. I checked with the local newspaper, but alas, it was not a project they specifically sponsored, so no treasure map there either. They do have a Goose in their parking lot across the street (see below.) The most visible Gee

Christmas Pleasures #3: Presents!

As of December 23, I'm declaring my shopping done. Anything else, including groceries, will have to wait for the after-Christmas sales. Thank goodness, I remembered to buy dog food during my last foray. Last-minute Christmas rush is for younger shoppers with more stamina than I have, and nerves of steel. My solution to my aversion to braving the crowds during Christmas hubbub is to accumulate them poco a poco throughout the year, stashing them in closets and trunks until Christmas is approaching. On-line shopping is a brilliant invention, brilliant. Cyber Monday has much less dread factor than Black Friday. On-line Wish Lists are a handy innovation as well. I lay the gifts out on the bed in the spare room--when did I buy that!-- and see what else needs to be added, often a little cash. The pleasure for me lies in anticipating the delight of the recipient. If the dear ones receiving the gifts actually like the gifts, want them, are delighted--ah, that i
