My aunt who lived in Albuquerque was the first person to introduce me to "meals on wheels". While I was visiting her as a child I got to accompany her on her weeks delivery.

The opportunity to deliver meals locally is available

Pattison State Park was one of my mom's favorite place for picnics when I was a child. I loved it because I got to swim!
