Hello Family and Friends,
About noon on Monday 10-26 we joined David Fries and David Ryder in Mesilla, NMwhich is a very historic town dating back to the 1500's. It long was the capital for NM and AZ.Many of the same old adobe buildings are still standing around the town square.The court house where famous outlaws met up with the law is now filled with fascinating shops. Since the next day was my 70th birthday David and Janine had decided they wanted to treat David and myself to a special meal. David Fries wanted David Ryder to share in the fun too before he flew home on Tues. David and David scouted out a great restaurant that is well known from all around, La Posta. Originally this building was an inn, restaurant, blacksmith shop and jail. Billy the Kid spent his last night in jail there before he was hanged in the morning. The jail where he stayed is now part of the restaurant. One shop keeper told us people love working in that historic old place. Some worked there into their 80's. One lady owned and operated LaPosta for 40 years. The restaurant was celebrating their 70th anniversary so they were offering a wonderful combination plate for $7.00. The salsa was so hot it left your lips burning so the friendly waitress brought us some mild green chili sauce that was wonderful. The food and atmosphere were great and made my 70th memorable.
There was a very large toucan cage in the lobby with several toucans who were very sleepy and quiet when we went in. After our meal I checked out the gift shop and when I rejoined my David in the lobby the birds were making a horrendous ruckus and talking. The host was astounded. "They never talk or make noise this time of day," he said.There was my David standing calmly looking at the birds in a very innocent manner. I wasn't surprised for he loves to whistle softly and wake up animals. He really did it that time!
I even had some leisure time to investigate the little shops in the town square so that was a birthday treat for me. Faith
