Deb's Birthday Month

My friend Deb Peters is the only person I know who celebrates her birthday all month long. It has turned out to be kind of a fun joke. At the first part of August, we went to Las Cruces to shop. I suggested that we do lunch at the Double Eagle in Old Mesilla, and since she had never been there, it was my chance to play tour guide. Here are some shots from inside the restaurant.

This is the church. We toured some of the shops. I thought the dressed up bear was cute.

Then we went to a huge pottery place and curious Deb (notice the tip-toes) was trying to see inside the pot. When she saw the camera, I caught a smile.

I forgot to mention that while we having lunch she told the waiter that it was her birthday this month, so he promptly returned with a gift certificate for Sunday brunch. That's the reason for our return trip last Sunday. We also had a good time at Toucan's, the health food store. Here are some more pics of the dining rooms.

That's quite a balcony. Can't you just see some turn of the century patrons dining up there?

Notice the young lady contemplating the picture.

And here's the birthday girl enjoying her mimosa!

There were vendors on the plaza when we left the restaurant, so Deb decided to pick up a couple Christmas presents. She so good about that sort of thing. She has a very lucky family. And she was generous to the mariachis also!
