This blog needs a little life in it! Today, while I man the front desk solo, I thought I would put up a few pictures of the last 6.5 weeks in Marfa. I have a terrible habit when I'm in Marfa where I don't take pictures! So, these are the FEW I have taken but all mark moments and experiences that have made my life Marfalous so far. Enjoy!
The newest members in the Hotel Paisano family! We got our little fishies for the courtyard fountain - not just easy on the eyes as they are excellent moss eaters. In my excitement for our new pets, I instantly expressed the need to name the fish - it is unloving to not name a family member. All were named off of the five of us who watched the inaugaral swim around the fountain. The large orange fish: Boss Lady after Vicki Barge, the hotel manager. Spotted fish: The Intern - in memory of myself as we are both the outsiders making our name and presence in the little community Marfa provides. The tiniest fish: Harvey - Manny the Maintance Man chose this name. The twin fish: one with more white on front fins = Machuka after Maria Machuka, a fellow front desk worker; with less white = Luigi, named by Mario the head Maintenance Man.
Remember my car getting busted a few weeks back?? Well, here is Lola propped up on the baby boulder that decided to prop itself underneath my baby! This is taken from the passenger side - the driver's side was elevated a few feet off the ground to where I had to hop OUT of the driver's seat! Six hundred dollars and a brand new oil pan later, all is well in the life of Lola.
Check out the double rainbow! This is taken on Texas Street (the street I live on) looking East towards Alpine. I just love how a good rain refreshens everything and gives immediate life!
A view from my porch. The porch faces directly South and this is more or less directly South from the house.
Marfa means...thunder and rain splattering on the patio while I sit and enjoy the sounds of West Texas rain.
