- 06/06/12 11:38 AM
What on earth is "talking" Santa Fe? This is a very short list of many of the main words that today make up our local lingo which is sometimes called "talking" Santa Fe. Many of them were words I began to learn when I first passed through Santa Fe in 1968 and then finally settled here in the early 1990’s. Others are the ones “you” frequently ask me about all the time when we begin the process of helping you relocate to Santa Fe to make your lifestyle change.

Buyers how do you know your fixer is not a diamond in the rough or your gem is not a fixer? The appearance of a home can be deceiving especially if you are relocating from outside of Santa Fe. Why?

emilymedvec: A Santa Fe Train Track Story
- 06/01/12 09:16 AM
It was only due to the vision and quick thinking of those pre-Statehood Santa Feans that railroad tracks first arrived in Santa Fe in February of 1880! New Mexico was still a “territory” back then and it was through the collective efforts of our territorial citizens who made certain our mountain community would not be without tracks and train service. They made it happen the old-fashion way by subsidizing the effort themselves. There was no federal stimulus package or state government economic development plan to make this a reality. Santa Fe was only a territory of the United States! The … (9 comments)

They left our country to make a difference in their lives by settling in a new frontier without knowing what would happen next. For many, … (16 comments)

- 05/13/12 10:56 AM
There is something about Mother’s Day that takes me back to remembering my grandmothers. I was named after both of them and somehow they seem to be more present on this day. One of them died in childbirth and I never actually knew her. I just heard all the stories about her which found a home in my imagination. My other grandmother spoke very little English, yet her presence was profound as the matriarch in my extended family. What I learned from both of them was priceless. From the grandmother I never met, I learned life was precious. Life was to … (25 comments)
