Dessert Night at the V.A. Poma Ranch

 

 

Every guest at the V.A. Poma Ranch is invited to share pie or other dessert at the Ranch House sometime during the stay.  Pie is served in the name of Ethel Poma, since she was the first  to make sure each guest had some homemade pecan pie. Tonight was a  bonus with  music provided by our guests Jane and David Thomas from Santa Fe and friend Bradley Bennett.

Jane and David  are musicians of the group called The Banded Geckos.They may be playing somewhere in Santa Fe, NM the next time you are there.  

Uncle Bill’s New Look

One of our workampers, Sue is an artist. You can find some of her art work on her web page at Lazy Susan Art. She painted some Mountain Bluebirds in the kitchen/living area of the cabin.

Here is the artist at work.

 

She painted Hummingbirds in the bathroom.

Sue also painted the walls and ceiling in Uncle Bill’s, so it got a complete make over!

Fall 2009, second blog posting

We finally have more time for the blog now that the season is winding down. Our intention is to now post retroactively the events of the summer as well as upcoming events for 2010. Wilma, workamper for the summer, is instrumental in getting the blog published and has helped me so much. Most of the pictures for the blog have been taken by Weldon (Wilma's workamper husband).

Last June, we dedicated a temporary smaller flag pole at Ethel's 90th birthday celebration and Campbell/Poma family reunion with completion of the permanent 30' one on July 12, 2009.

These pictures are from the day the United States Flag was first flown on the new flagpole.
