2nd Annual Tsaile Crawfish Boil

We had an awesome time here in Tsaile this past weekend! Jason and Abby hosted the 2nd Annual Tsaile Crawfish Boil! They had fresh live crawfish flown in all the way from Louisiana, boiled them up with spicy goodness, dumped them on the table and we all dug in!
Besides eating an excessive amount of crawfish, we partook in several yard games including horseshoes, bocce, and what turned out to be a pretty vicious game of wiffle ball!Little did we know at last year's boil that we would be attending this year as Tsaile residents. It was a beautiful weekend to spend in Tsaile, and it culminated with a trip up into the Chuska mountains, just a few miles away. We were able to spend a great day with Marce and Victor at their land, partaking in a "sweat" and sharing great food cooked over the camp fire. [More on sweat lodges in a future post...]

In other news, ever since last holiday season when I set up a table of my photography at the Christmas Bazaars, I have been slowly working towards selling more of my stuff as art. I have since had two official customers that I've taken & sold portraits to, and have sold a handful of prints and notecards of my photos. With some encouragement and prodding by my mom and two particular great friends, I've finally started doing something more. I'm working on a website (I just bought my own domain, it felt Important), but will reveal it to you all when the url actually works! And tomorrow night I will be displaying (and hopefully selling!) some of my photography at a "coffeehouse" in Chinle! Our friends there have hosted a few "coffeehouse" nights at their house and tomorrow will be the second that also incorporates a local art show, featuring...ME! (wish me luck!)
