This past Sunday, May 22nd,  the Plaza was abuzz with the most amazing cars. Featuring Lowriders, Hoppers, and Hot Rods it was a sea of eye candy for the car enthusiast and novice alike.

A couple of months ago, I started seeing something new on Mayor Javier Gonzales’ Facebook page – something about beginning a new tradition in Santa Fe. There were teasers and then more info, and finally, we are only a few days away from New Year’s Eve on the Santa Fe Plaza. I’m pumped.

If you’re in Santa Fe to celebrate the season, consider this site one of your quick reference points for events happening this week and next in Santa Fe. I’ll find a fun event (or two or three) and give you the lowdown on the ones I’ve attended.

For those of you who follow this website with some regularity, or if you’re read my About Me page, you already know that my Big Why is raising money for Fight Colorectal Cancer. And why is this my Big Why?

Because I am a Stage IV colon cancer (with mets to my liver) survivor.

If you’re going to buy or sell real estate in Santa Fe, you’re going to have lots of choices in the Realtor you choose.

Last day of Fiesta! Don’t miss the Historical Hysterical Parade through downtown today beginning at 1 p.m. Here’s one of my favorite photos from last year.

If I keep talking in superlatives all the time, people are going to think I’m somewhat of a nut about Santa Fe events. But, hey, this really IS one of the most entertaining, funny, sweet and traditional Santa Fe events you can view, or even participate in.

I love Fiestas de Santa Fe. And I love that we do it to honor La Conquistadora, the oldest madonna brought to the U.S. long before it was the U.S. – in 1625.

It’s here – Fiestas de Santa Fe week is officially here!!! We walked downtown yesterday and meandered through the Arts & Crafts Show booths, picking up a couple of nice Christmas gifts.

Sometimes being a blogger has it’s own perks. It keeps you on your toes. You watch for great post ideas. You take lots of pictures. You’re hyper aware of opportunities and events around you. And, of course, you get to hone your writing skills, something I need every day.
