Mary Lou's Family Pictures

We lived North of Las Cruces, New Mexico on one acre with lots of fruit and nut trees, grass, shrubs, roses, and other flowers. To keep busy we traveled in our motorhome, square danced, took lots of photos, read, and sang and played guitar at nursing homes. We designed and maintained web sites and did other computer related activities. We recently belonged to a square dance group and the Three Crosses RV Group.
