Adobe

I mean, they were trying to think, how are they going to make this a go of this town you know the railroad didn't make it here just different things were happening and so they were thinking about tourism so if you could you know if you if you make it look like it did in this 17th and 18th and in early 19th century That's going to be so different.

And even now when people visit, even when I tell them it's not, it's stucco and not Adobe, they say, I've never seen anything like this.

So I think kudos to the people with that vision back then, because tourism, as you know, is a major industry for us.

I mean, how we could not survive.

No, thank you.

There were also three dilapidated Adobe Ranch buildings at the very end of this business's long driveway.

Dad and his friends were out exploring and decided to look in the old Adobe buildings.

After all, they were cool looking and part of the history.

So why not? Okay.

But, yeah, be prepared for what you may, or, you know, uncover, discover.

uh so they hopped up into one of the holes where the door used to be and to their surprise they saw a man slumped over against the wall wearing a puffy coat and it startled them they had thought he was asleep so they called out to him and received no response So they called the police, obviously, and chaos ensued from there.

Dad was summoned to court to testify about what he saw, which obviously was just that the body of the man was inside this old Adobe building.

The Blackwell School opened in 1909 as a small Adobe schoolhouse in Marfa.

Blackwell was a segregated Mexican school serving hundreds of Mexican-American children until 1965.

Children there were instructed to speak English only and even staged a mock funeral for Mr. Spanish.

Well, no, mostly New Mexico.

We love northern New Mexico, and we have an old Adobe out there outside of town, but it's too remote for our kid.

And the schools have been great here.

How about

It was very nice.

And in his magical Adobe abode with lots of artifacts and incense sticks and bells and magic books and tarot cards, a very Santa Fe experience, if you're the least bit wooey.

I feel like Santa Place, Santa Place, Santa Fe could be the place for you.

I may or may not have been caught tag switching at Savers trying to figure out my Halloween costume, which ended up being a deviled egg or deviled eggs costume.
