my week in pictures

This week was a busy one filled with windstorms, ghost stories, and beautiful interesting things.

I saw more tons of balloons at the dollar store. An entire ceiling full of balloons. I was so distracted I kept forgetting what I had intended to buy....



I saw the Franklin Mountains get obscured in the dust, Yes, there are mountains back there! *achoo*



I stopped (again) to stare at this beautiful old downtown building that I love... and wished that I could have a peek inside...



I hung out with ol' Mr. Boney at the Ghosts915 Paranormal Research Center...



...where I later listened to some very spooky El Paso ghost stories!



I stopped and smelled the (big, beautiful) roses at my Grandparent's house...



And then I admired the blossoms in Concordia Cemetery during our ghost tour... where the yucca and the palo verde are blossoming amongst the graves... they were beautiful.



I saw the El Paso mountain star lit up in blue...



And I got excited when I saw this marquee... and I have tickets!



It was a good week.

I hope that you all had a great week as well!

my week in pictures


Ghosts tours, explorations, wanderings... this is some of the stuff I got myself into this week...

I hung out and helped out at the Ghosts915 Paranormal Research Center



I stopped to admire some beautiful architectural details in Downtown EPTX



Then I fantasized about the magical powers of this mesmerizing golden door



I had some awesome tacos for dinner at the legendary Good Luck Cafe (Est. early 1960's)

 


I encountered a lot of sandstorms and desert winds

 


I saw a spooky sunset in Socorro TX



I had some amazing homestyle food with friends at Sofia's Restaurant (a little Socorro gem on Glorietta Rd)



I went to the Golden Eagle Gallery in historic San Elizario TX (featuring over 40 local & regional artists)



 I hunted the ghosts of history in the Old County Jail during the San Elizario Ghost Tour

 


I was tempted by the opening in this vacant building in Downtown EPTX



I walked through the darkest part of the cemetery during the Concordia Cemetery Ghost Tour



I saw Annabelle's twin at the Bronco Swap Meet (a favorite place to explore on a Sunday-afternoon )
