New Mexico - Enchantment and Adventure: Liz and Bill Arrive

Beyond My Boundaries

Welcome! I am 65 and this is my first year of retirement. My husband, Lee, just retired too and right out of the gate, we are moving to Albuquerque, NM via a year long house trade that we arranged over the internet. I came from the midwest to Oregon in 1970 and have lived in OR for more than 40 years. I've been teaching English as a 2nd language for the last 10 years. Retirement will be a major life change, and ABQ will be a major cultural and climatological change, so I want to keep notes. These notes are for me, but you are welcome to read them and add your own thoughts.

Liz and Bill Arrive

Liz and Bill arrived Monday on the 4^th of July, just in time for our neighbors’ “Welcome to Portland” party for them. Our neighborhood is made up of vegan, bike riding, dog loving, farmers’ market shopping, progressive Democrats. They fit in perfectly!

Lee and I had finished loading the car the day before, so we were able to relax and enjoy the beautiful day with them. Cosmo, their senior yellow lab, was appropriately social at the party. At our place, he politely averted his eyes when he saw Chi Chi’s arched back and fluffed up tail. He seemed to know it was her territory, not his and he was a polite guest.
