Los Lunas sunrises

When we lived with Emily, Ron used to wake me every morning to tell me there was a gorgeous sunrise. After moving into our house, he kept it up. After weeks and weeks (months and months) of gorgeous sunrises, I've finally convinced him to take pictures and share with me at a more civilized time of day! These are pictures taken from our back patio looking toward the Manzano Mountains. At night, we have to go out our front door to see the sunsets and there are houses in the way. But for sunrises, we are really fortunate to have an unobstructed view to the East.

UFOs???

OK, it’s not a UFO but it was sure strange to see our pool flying above our house. After a lot of research, Ron decided to go with a fiberglass pool—it is less maintenance, it lasts longer, and it could be done faster. I didn’t care as long as we got a pool. They are still working on installation; the pool lights went in today. But it should be completely done within a month. We hope you’ll consider taking your next vacation at the Bergener B&B!

How do you get a dog in New Mexico?

You take another dog for a walk. Ron was walking Henry a few weeks ago when another black lab came up to them. Ron noticed that she didn't have a collar or license and so he and Henry started to walk away. She followed them home. Ron took her to the vet to see if she had been microchiped; she hadn't. He then took her to the Los Lunas pound. Unfortunately, he found out that this is a kill pound; if she wasn't adopted in 4 days, she would be put to sleep. Ron couldn't handle that so he brought her home. He put up signs around the neighborhood and walked her up and down the streets asking if anyone recognized her. Several people thought they knew who she belonged to but when he went to those homes, their black lab dogs were with them. So 2 weeks later, we have a dog. Ron calls her "girl", I call her "your dog", and Emily calls her "Abby". We'll see what sticks!
