Tour of Dad's Childhood, part 1

During my New Mexico visit, Dad took me to three of the five or six towns he lived in as a child. After his parents' divorce, his mother moved him and his sisters from Indiana to New Mexico. Every year or so, they'd move to a different place and live in a new little rental house.

His mother, Helen, and her boyfriend, Ernie, would run restaurants. It's unclear why they didn't settle down somewhere for more than a year or two.

This is the restaurant in Ruidoso that Helen and Ernie ran over 50 years ago.



Now it's called Jorge's, and the food is NOT good.



The coffee's all right.
