I remember my mother complaining way back that people from CA were moving in and bringing their stupid liberal ideas (they ruined CA and they had a lot of money from selling their over priced houses and could pay too much for homes and land in NM and they wanted to remake NM into what they were trying to get away from in CA). Gosh, that was 35 or so years ago. She was apparently psychic.
But, we want to retire in NM (my Mom’s family came there in the late 1800s, Dexter/Roswell area, in fact, my Granny’s house was the first house in Dexter). I don’t like the turn it has taken, so I do hope things are changing for the better. It’s truly an enchanting place and my heart and roots are there.
It has been non stop.
