A December Day In Ruidoso !!

Hi, Ya'll!

This morning before we left the Lodge for the day, we stopped by the Gingerbread House. It was completely finished! Here is how it looks. It is edible, but was made for a fundraiser for the Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization. The wheels for the wagon are peppermints.

Below is "Sherry's Place."

After taking the pictures, we headed to Mid-Town. Our favorite place is Candle Power. Sally is the owner and told us that we could come watch the Electric Light Parade from her shop if we wanted. That way we could stay warm! We always look forward to visiting her shop.
We shopped at a few of our other favorite places. One of the shop owners told us about this place called, Dream Catcher. It is a rather eclectic kind of cafe/coffee house. She recommended it for lunch. We tried it and had a wonderful time.
As you can see, they have beverages other than coffee. We had a bowl of the best French Onion soup, and a half of a delicious Cubana panini. We shall return there for certain.
This last picture shows the cute little coffee bar. They also have patio dining, but it was too chilly for us to be out there.

We are probably going to stay in tonight. We want to be kind to Sharon's lungs.
Crab cakes and shrimp are on the menu. Happy Friday and Happy Weekend.
Until next time. . . . . . . . . . .
