I’m not even going to attempt to explain the Methodist church and the fissures that are now creating the Global Methodist Church from certain previously-affiliated United Methodist congregations. You can Google that on your time.

The not-very-neatly-applied duct tape on this sign sort of told me what I needed to know here.

cinderella

I was at least 100% certain I’d never been in Hagerman before. I would have argued with anyone who tried to convince me otherwise. However, if the files on my computer are to be believed, I was there on May 10, 2014.

On that forgotten visit, I failed to photograph the Cinderella shoe left behind in a storefront display, but I got it this time around.

My eyes are adjusting themselves to seeing color in potential photographs. Especially yellow. My eyes like yellow.
