Kankakee, picturesque river near downtown. That crumbling archway would make for great photos — Kavi was bemoaning the lack of a flowing dress…

Lovely dinner last night at Stefani West Avenue in Kankakee — the butter chicken tasted more like pomegranate chicken to me, oddly, but was yummy, Kavi enjoyed her lemon chicken over gnocchi (after we asked for more lemon and squeezed it over), and the tomato – goat cheese thingie was just good. Recommended — there

I did one more thing in Santa Fe yesterday afternoon, but it’s a secret for the moment — more soon. And then I came back to the casita and actually got some more writing done (go me!), and then George texted and invited me over to hang out, so I said ‘damn the packing’ and

We were going to eat at The Shed, which is sort of a tourist trap, but I like their green chili — but they don’t take reservations, and it was going to be a 90 minute wait. So Jeffe Kennedy directed Tiffany Trent and me (and Tiffany’s adorable son) around the corner to Casa Sena,

I got some good writing done in George’s casita yesterday morning, and then headed into downtown Santa Fe. Stopped at Ooh La la consignment and found a few cute things — still sad that my local consignment store, Trends, has closed. Alas! Then walked to the square to meet friends for lunch.

And a few last photos from Lenore, from the set of Dark Winds. With lead actors Zahn McClarnon (Joe Leaphorn) and Kiowa Gordon (Jim Chee), and with Elias Gallegos (a friend of ours, a regular on season 3, go Elias!!!). Also a shot of McClarnon with George’s Sky Railway adventure train, which looks super-fun; it

George’s assistant Lenore sent along a few more photos she’d taken at the Dark Winds set. Love the classic cars and moody, dramatic sky.

With actor Natalie Benally, who plays Natalie Bluehouse (the dispatcher) on Dark Winds. She was really nice. 🙂 We got to chat for a while when she was waiting to be needed again — there appears to be a LOT of sitting around and waiting on a film set. Aren’t those classic cars yummy? If

Two last horsie pics. 🙂
