On Sunday we had a fun time at the home of Joe and Jerry Martinez. Joe was my Dad's buddy from his Air Force Days. As kids we stopped by a few times to visit here in Albuquerque while we were on our trip out west to visit other relatives. It's been about 20 years, but I remembered parts of their home and yard. Natalie and Oliver enjoyed playing with their grandkids, climbing trees and dancing as you can see in the photos. Joe took CD and I two miles down the road to Isleta Pueblo. It is a beautiful old mission with thick walls, old paintings, and beautiful stained glass. Joe used to play guitar here years ago. Joe is retired from his job if 30+ years, but now works part time at Explora, the local children's museum so we see him a couple times a week there. He also does community theater, and we just missed him starring in the role of Galileo at the museum in January. He was directed by Lou Ann Graham, the sister of Vivian Vance. Vivian you might remember from the I Love Lucy Show, was also a performer at the Kimo Theater here in Abq (see next post).
