Santa Fe, NM

I love the snow and I hate the snow. I love to look out at the snow and enjoy it's beauty and sereneness. I hate the cold, the wet and icy roads. I love snow days and baking ginger snaps. I hate shoveling the walkway. I love the smell of pinion and cedar burning in the fireplace. I hate cleaning the fireplace. I love crunching through the snow. I hate falling down in the snow.

I guess you could say I have a love/hate relationship with snow!

I have no excuse - just hit a wall and didn't know what to write about which when I think about it - it is quite ridiculous. I am one who is never at a loss for words or things happening in my business or personal life.

So the real reason - I didn't think anyone was watching. But when you get notices that so & so wants to follow your blog, friend you, be your tweet pal it is time to get back into the flow.

So before the month ends I resolve to lose 12 pounds, blog at least 3 times per month, participate in at least 4 charitable functions, and smile even more.

Harry's Roadhouse near Arroyo Hondo, Seton village, Route 66, and Old Las Vegas trail has food that is northern New Mexico style with specials weekly. The food is inspired and interesting. Home cooked style meals are comforting and very good. Breakfast is one of the best kept secrets for us early risers. 7am and you can sit down diner style and eat well and quick in the "diner" tradition yet it quality is of a 5 star restaurant at an excellent price. Locals know this is the best stop between Eldorado & Lamy areas and the plaza. It's so good that people sometimes line up and wait patiently for an unforgettable meal. Whenever I have guest in town, which is frequently, I place Harry's at the top of the list.

Dos Santos Santa NM is centrally located just off St. Michael's and St. Frances Avenues with the plaza to the north, the St. Vincent's hospital to the east, I-25 and Rancho Viejo to the south and Santa Fe Place, Cerrillos road to the west. And best of all it's just minutes to Harry's Roadhouse Restaurant.. one of the best food eateries in Santa Fe.
With values dropping 30-50% in the last few years, it's an irresistible condo community, especially for first time home buyers. It is one of the few places in Santa Fe that has a year round whirlpool and pool! And a fenced dog run on the western edge along St. Frances. Recently, Dos Santos went to Self Management and Scot Eastwood is the manager who is getting maintenance and improvements done!
