Yikes, Clint. We just bought our house just about a year ago. It began life as a 1972 one bedroom trailer. It was added onto over the years since until what we bought is a four bedroom 1700 sqft house on an acre of land on the edge of this little town (1000 folks) - half anglo and half hispanic.

It's quirky and wonderful but also has it's share of weird. Like you have to go into the guest room to turn on the living room lights or the living room to turn on the utility room. And almost every room is on a different level. It's a riot. We love it.
I originally moved here in 1999 and announced that I was the ONLY out gay person in town. They punished me by electing to the Town Council in 2007. I have never been so universally welcomed by a whole town full of folks. I brought my husband here in about 2004. We got married in 2014 and they practically shut down the town as we had 200 at our ceremony. In 2017 we felt were getting older (I'm now 81 and Ed is 75) we thought we needed a hospital closer than 40 miles and a grocery store closer than 20! We moved to Truth or Consequences (yeah, that's real) for 7 years and realized what we REALLY needed was to be surrounded by friends in case the orange monkey got elected and moved back last year. Absolutely no regrets!! And I have a job for the rest of my life trying to redecorate and Ed figuring out the wiring. Life is GREAT!!!
Dennis, you and Ed are giving my LIFE! Thank you for sharing your story and experience. Love your spirit and pov. Sounds your little town is a big fan of you, boo. And your house sounds like a riddle wrapped in a mystery box. Originality counts…and I love a home with character. Sounds like yours is a perfect fit for you two. Cheers and much love and light to you and Ed!
