Strong independent women with a vision making it happen in the west Texas Chihuahuan desert.
Kate Thayer of the Dublin, NH Thayers followed brother ‘Talkin’ Ted’ Thayer (then) of Terlingua to Marathon, Texas. She and her son Noble and daughter-in-law, daughter-in-spirit Alaine have created and are creating an ever evolving garden, eco-system and people centered bed and breakfast on their corner block of the small west Texas town of Marathon.
Very welcoming, very positive and very inclusive, both the people and the place.
Gracious and engaging hosts.
Excellent cooks worthy of this excellent kitchen.
Wonderful home cooked meals.
Relaxing and engaging conversation.
We will return.
Thank you Kate and Alaine!

The camera and lens allows for many conversations that might not happen otherwise.
Our travels end up being chronicled by the images, the people and the conversations.
Work being done at the Marathon (TX) Motel and RV Park on the adobe walls of the court yard: a quality place with quality people.
Adobe settles; stucco cracks and needs repair.
Taping and and prepping of the work area completed, metal screen or lath gets applied where necessary. Appropriately mixed stucco of the right consistency is applied by trowel. A blending and roughening toll is used to do exactly that on the drying stucco surface. When appropriately dried a coloring agent is applied. Later a blending agent and water are used to achieve color consistency through out the job.
