Hello Las Cruces
Today is the start of Summer and officially the longest day of the year! Seems like summer started a long time ago in Las Cruces 😅
Stepping Out
Every once in a while you just have to step out and drive on pass by the tacos shops and try something different, right? It’s hard I know 🙂 LOL cause we love our tacos.
So we visited The Grilled Cheese Shop and had a Pastrami Reuben with Artisan Rye Sourdough Bread, Pastrami, Sauerkraut, Swiss Cheese and Russian Dressing $14.50
It was delicious. The bread was excellent and there was plenty of pastrami and yummy. Best sandwich I have had in a while. You can eat in or order takeout.
They are located near Harbor Freight. Directions.

Pilates For Your Active Lifestyle!
😆 If you think Pilates is just stretching on a fancy mat, think again-it’s the only workout where you can wobble, giggle, and find muscles you never knew existed, all before breakfast!
Pilates: where “core values” mean holding a plank longer than your last relationship, and “rolling like a ball” is actually encouraged. Come for the stretch, stay for the laughs, and leave with abs that might just show up to the party.
