But it is you, a man like myself, my companion, my close friend,… (Psalms 55:13)
On Thursday, our friends from Holland, Saskia and Robert, drove down from Santa Fe to visit with us for two nights. They had visited with Robert’s aunt who lives in Santa Fe. This is all part of a two week trip they have been making – driving an RV throughout the Southwest.
We know Saskia very well as she’s one of our horse riding friends from our times at the Lazy M Ranch in Canada. She actually bought a horse, Mouse, from the Lazy M and had it shipped to Holland. This was the first time we had met Robert and he’s a nice guy. We enjoyed getting to know him. He’s not a horse person – he rides off road motorbikes – but we still like him.
Thursday afternoon, Saskia rode Morgunn while I rode Sugar over to the South arroyo.
On Friday morning, we drove over to the Turquoise Trail on the other side of the mountain to have lunch at Madrid. On our way out of Corrales we stopped at Wagner's so they could see the New Mexico rite of Fall – roasting chiles.
Once we got over to the other side of the mountain we drove up to the top so they could see all of Albuquerque. It was a perfect day – pleasant and not a cloud in the sky.
Then on to Madrid for lunch.
It’s great to have good friends, especially friends who live so far away. It kind of makes the world seem a little smaller.
Thanks Saskia and Robert for taking your time to visit with us.

Looks like you had a great time and they look like real nice people.
You both are such gracious hosts-glad you had such a good visit..
Madrid is the little town where Max and I got to know each other and fell in love. (His mom owned a little shop there, and my mom worked for her.) Quirky little place, but it holds fond memories for us.
They look like kind people. Glad you had fun.
