Our ABQ Apartment

 I think it is fun to see where people are living, as so much of life is spent at a "home base." Seeing parts of that "home base" can also help one to understand what type of people live there. It is an interesting way to get to know people. So, I thought that I would give you a look at our ABQ apartment, and show you where we have been for the past 9 weeks. You might discover some things about us too :)

Greg is wonderful. That is what I am so grateful to know every day.

He is preparing his Sunday School lesson in this picture - he is such a good teacher!

You can also see on the table our water pitcher - c'est absolument essentielle here in New Mexico!

My CGM is also on the table - a note that I look at it often, and sometimes leave it out after looking at it can be construed from that fact.

Next is our kitchen - what do you spy here? I see a small, but comfortable space where we have had some good meals, some overdone meals, some good experiments, some bad experiments in cooking, and  a nice stack of books to read, and music to listen to while I cook or clean. And of course, my kit. :)

Here, you can see I was more interested in taking pictures than doing dishes at the time. He he he....he... Moving on!

This is our pleasant little corner - where we would put a couch if we had one, but we have learned to be happy sitting on the floor. You might also spy a dried leaves, flowers, etc. creation on the wall opposite the Minerva Teichert painting of Christ - I chose to try and do something with all the beautiful things I have been collecting in my scriptures for years...I am not sure of this was an improvement, but I like it for now:)

This is the wall opposite our pleasant little corner - and a testament to cleverness, if we do say so ourselves. The table you see with our wedding pictures on them - doubles as a seat in times of guests, and suitcases in times of travel :) What else do you see? I choose to see that we like to read, and we really like wood, and I have played the violin more this summer than I did last summer. 

Now, on to the other side of our apartment!

This is our bedroom - note the beautiful blanket Aunt Janet gave us for a wedding present last year!

We have really liked our walk-in closet here - it comes in handy as we did not bring a dresser :)

This view shows that Greg is very orderly :)

 Across the little hall from the bedroom door is the door to the bathroom area, which has a sink outside of the main bathroom area, which we really like as well.

The painting on the right is done by Greg! It is a beautiful seascape  of Portugal, with the original picture taken by Greg, and this watercolor rendition done very well I think! Did you know that Greg really likes to paint, and is quite good at it? 

And of course, the bathroom. We are grateful for indoor plumbing that works :)

And back to Greg :)

Hope you enjoyed the tour!
