Gravity Bound in ABQ NM produces some amazing beers. This one - Pretty Bird, a pineapple mango coconut vanilla bean sour - is maybe the best ever. So so good! #NMBeer #BeerSky

Took a little Saturday afternoon drive down to the Hoppy Monk in El Paso. The beer (and spirits) offerings here are off the chain. Enjoyed a Martin House True Love sour and a Prairie Artisan Bomb! Both are 💣. #NMBeer #BskyBeer

Just got home from an extended road trip showing off #NewMexico to first-time visitors from the East Coast. Oddly, I was content to mostly just take in the beauty of our state without taking may pics, but here are a few I did take. I love living here! Our visitors loved it too. ❤️

Same.
Meme showing Justice Sonya Sotomayor with her quote, “There are days where I get discouraged. And there are days where I’m deeply, deeply disappointed. And yes, there have been moments where I have stopped and said, ‘is this worth it anymore?’ And every time I do that, I lick my wounds for awhile, sometimes I cry. And then I say, ‘OK, let’s fight.’”

When I see a guy at the local watering hole wearing this hat, it takes every ounce of self control I have not to ask him how he’s going to enjoy living without a 2nd Amendment since he’s obviously advocating for the Constitution to be tossed.

We’ve pretty much given up on believing that toys go in the toy box when Parker isn’t using them. He gets angry when he has to get them out of the toy box.

Spring in New Mexico can be pretty when the wind isn’t blowing and the dust is on the ground instead of in the air.
