Tidbits is back. We took last week off to travel to Truth or Consequences, NM, the town names after the 1950’s TV game show known for its mineral hot springs. The town has an emerging art and food scene. We had a ball and it was sandal weather down in the southern part of the state. We’re back in Santa Fe and as always there’s a lot to keep us busy. We’ll keep you posted.
