While on vacation, my father-in-law took us to Cochiti Lake.  It’s a beautiful lake within the Pueblo de Cochiti Indian Reservation, surrounded by desert and mountains.  While my husband and kids were out on the boat with him, I parked myself at a picnic table, and enjoyed the sounds of the birds and water lapping up on the shore.
