When we arrived in Reserve, NM....The Farmer's mind was flooded with memories.
You see when The Farmer was a Young Farmer...he too played in the same tournament,
in Reserve, NM.....in the same gym.
Now The Boy is re-enacting the whole event....many years later.
We "got" to drive through the little town and look for the house that The Farmer stayed
We "got" to drive through the little town and look for the house that The Farmer stayed
in when he was a young man. We spent quite a bit of time looking....he was pretty

We call these boys...in the middle..."round two."
Their fathers were friends growing up, and ended up living together while in college.
It is great to watch another friendship develop...one that will last a long time.
Maybe one day they will be watching their boys, play in a basketball tournament...in
Reserve, NM.

It was connected to the little diner where we had a very tasty breakfast.
The shop was filled with "retro" type candy....

I think I need to buy some candy from that shop so that my husband can jump that high again. He misses the air he used to be able to get.
