Isn’t this a wonderous picture? A local photographer who calls herself “nicholsphotos” http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicholsphotos/ on www.flickr.com just posted this on the Duke City Fix website, following her recent visit to the newly opened Center for Action and Contemplation. (http://www.cacradicalgrace.org/) in Albuquerque’s South Valley. I just want to remember to share with you all some of the fantastic sights of New Mexico now and again. I try to not take for granted all the great stuff that happens here, not to mention that we have the best weather in the US AND sunny skies year-round.

It has been not quite a month since my last post, and so many things have happened since my last update. First off, I want to acknowledge a very special gentleman and his family from Farmington, NM (they requested I not use their names–very humble folks…) who found my misplaced wallet and were tireless in their search to return it safely to me. I won’t get into the long-winded details of it all, but my faith in humankind was certainly redeemed when I received the phone call informing me that my wallet was on it’s way back to me in Albuquerque. HOLY MOSES and Great Odin’s Raven! Nothing was missing–NADA. Just know that there are still really kind, wonderful people in this nation. I will not soon forget this upright gesture, no sireee.

HUGE Felicitaciones to my best NM gal pal, Melissa, who delivered a precious baby girl on April 11th. I had a chance to hold the little miracle, named Madeline Bryce. She is truly perfect in every way, and I look forward to watching her grow up.

No news to share (YET) on my plan to take my IDEA BUENA to the big wigs. I have been doing research, though, and plan to get a letter out to the product development people within said company this week. Will be sure to keep y’all posted, as this will begin to change the face of the assistive devices industry for those of us as interested in (even more so?) form as we are in function. In short–VIVA LA REVOLUCION! Sorry I am being so clandestine about this thing. I promise I’ll be able to reveal what I’m working on shortly.

In regards to the title of this post, I want to share with you a trailer of a movie I’m hoping comes here to my own little town very soon. As a Gerontologist, I am always psyched by/ fascinated with anything cool and forward-minded happening in the field of aging. This movie looks like a hoot, and you’ve got to dig hip, healthy seniors singing rock songs. Seriously.

Best to you all until next post. Hugs and lilac bloom kisses…Sarah
