Five First Unitarians, Pam Bliss, Rick Held, Nancy Carrillo, Dave and Kathleen arrived on time to pop into the Craft Fair in the Old San Isidro Church before we set out walking north along the Corrales ditch on a wintry, cloudy day w/ Sandias shrouded in fog. (Not the best light for photographs.) No wind. Temps in the 40’s. We were joined by Neal & Audrey MacDonald and Johanne Ledger for part of the return walk.
We were happy to arrive at the fire in the outdoor horno at the entrance of Casa San Isidro and were welcomed by Manuel Lopez, volunteer and Carol Lopez, site manager of the casa. Bob Haladay and Bronwyn Willis joined us. For some of us it was our first time inside the casa and the docents in the various rooms told us about the collected objects and history of the house. Quite a beautiful historic home! How wonderful to listen to live bluegrass music by Breaking Blue in the warm chapel – five musicians and a vocalist. This is the only night of the year that Casa San Isidro is open and gratis. Thanks for a festive time!
