15. New Mexico, Land of Enchantment

Reply to BumRushDaShow (Original post)

Yesterday

I have spent much of my life here in Albuquerque--leaving for a number of years here and there. My husband and I have retired here and we truly enjoy it. It is very dry here as we don't get a ton of moisture. We have beautiful mountains close by. My sister, my niece and nephews and my brother all are here. Our parents are buried in the National Cemetery in Santa Fe.
We are proud of our Governor and our Senators and Representatives. One extra special Representative is Melanie Stansbury who is an amazing Congresswoman.
