Art Is A Necessity

Candy Corn Bow Tie On A Shelf o’ the Day had a blast with us on our afternoon stroll through the Taos Historic District. We checked out a bunch of shops and galleries near our condo, and Bow Tie’s fave stop was a herd of metal yard art for sale in front of a shop. Bow Tie was so sneaky while playing in the metal creations that, when it was time to move on to the next shop, I felt like I was playing WHERE’S WALDO? while I tried to find the suave neckwear critter. I found out Candy Corn Bow Tie On A Shelf o’ the Day moves more quickly than lickety-split, and knows how to hide in plain sight.

Know Thyself

As soon as we got our suitcases into our condo here in Taos, we headed off to the grocery store. Our goal: fill the condo fridge and cupboards. At the local Albertson’s, we skated the aisles in search of vacation food, which is basically any food that has no nutritional value. We found plenty of empty calories to supply us through our stay.

In this photo, paisley-covered wood Bow Tie o’ the Day poses with me in the school/office supplies aisle of the Taos Albertson’s. No matter how exotic or exciting our vacay destination might be, if we’re in an establishment which sells even one school/office supply, Suzanne and I find ourselves standing there, staring with awe at whatever school/office product it is. Writing paper and writing utensils R us.

In fact, if Suzanne and I get separated while we’re wandering around seeing sights, we each know to find the nearest gathering of school/office supplies. We know that eventually we’ll both show up in that exact spot, staring at some sticky notes or a pen we already have too many of.
