I first visited New Mexico in 1984 and completely lost my heart. I return often, whenever I can and now know that I should have moved there years ago. Well, what's stopping me now!!??

I have an online friend who lives in New Mexico, and through that friendship I have become very interested in Indian art and culture. So it's really great to see these cards, thank you.

How very lovely! I can see why you lost your heart to this area. Happy PFF!

Wonderful cards. I lived in NM for 23years. Loved it. It didn't love me! I developed bad asthma -- yes, you can be allergic to the high desert! Arggggghhhh!
