We spent a few days in Socorro, and I found more to it than I expected. Like a lot of New Mexico towns, it has a historic district with a plaza.

| Historic coffee and bran muffins |

| San Miguel mission |
Hundreds of years of history, blah, blah, blah, et cetera. I HAVE A DRIVEWAY!!!
 |
| Before: non-driveway |
 |
| Spud AT CABIN!!! |
 |
| After: drivable driveway |
We built a road!
 |
| My address: 62 |
More thanks than I can say to Wolfgang, who frequently reminds me that Germans
are technicians.
Having a driveway means a lot of things to me. Easy electronics-charging "at home" (instead of a hundred-yard trek up the hill). Easy grocery unloading. Deliveries are now possible. Did I forget something in the car? No problem -
it's right there!
I am pleased.
So pleased.

| I am even more pleased than this couple. For different reasons, naturally. |
 |
| I wish I had this many hands to clap with glee. |
 |
| I'm, you know ... pleased. |

Also yay driveway!
AWESOME!!! :D
Socorro on my 55 gl. drum list.
Nice driveway happy for you. No more hiking with arms full.
Nice, you are a funny funny fun person.
Ah the simple pleasures -- how many folks in civilized places can see a driveway as such a gift? And OMG -- have you ever seen so many grasshoppers? Everywhere I walk, there's a cloud in front of me. Must be because of above-normal rain? Crazy!
Renee
First a house, then a bed, now a driveway. What's next???
The picture of the grasshoppers is stunning!
Wow, you're really rocking! Welcome to the last 100 yards of your home. :)
Always love your small town pics - the art is so fun in Socorro! Spud must feel so much better in the dark now - knowing you're only a few feet away. Soooo are you getting a snow shovel next?
Woofgang Who? Is that the 2 in 2 of you.
Mysterious Inquirer, Wolfgang is the "he" who turns "me" into "we."
Jodee, bite your finger!
Thanks, Linda! It's a great place, this last 100 yards.
Cyndi, whatever's next has got to be spectacular
Renee, will you be spending the fall/winter here? When my time is less limited, we must meet.
LOL! Thanks, Swankie!
Jo, it's SUCH a boon for me.
Maggie, IK,R???
Yay, Kate!
Spending a day in Socorro next week. Thanks for the beautiful pictures. Should be a great visit for us. What a difference a driveway makes. Easier to get to home sweet home.
Now I'm happy!
Congratulations!
I so look forward to your blog posts. ... I think we are on similar paths
Love thei "history lesson" - what does your new digs look like inside?
Spud might be lonely.
We'll be here until a couple days before Thanksgiving -- at least that's the current plan. We'll be wintering (wow -- doesn't that sound ritzy?) in Congress. Drop me a "chat" message & we'll see what we can arrange. As you've discovered, there aren't a whole lot of meeting place options here!
Renee
