We are delighted to introduce you to our family! Ann, to the far left, is prowling San Lorenzo Canyon near Socorro. Roger is picnicking near the Rio Puerco west of Belen. Below on the left are Roger; our son-in-law, Nathan; and Ann's Mom, Gurney celebrating her 97th birthday! (Gurney is now 99!!!) To the right are Maia & Lisa, our daughters, and Ann.
Roger & Ann had been regularly visiting Riverbend Hot Springs for several years and made the easy decision to move to Truth or Consequences. Roger re-modeled the front section of our house to insure Gurney's comfort should she ever decide to join us from Albuquerque. Don't be put off by the outside. That's our next project, but you'll really like your room(s) & the shower! Meanwhile, we hope YOU will join us and enjoy the hospitality, amenities, relaxation and comfort available to you at The Birch Street Retreat.
Roger is a massage therapist should you want to avail yourself of his services. You'll read more about His Hands Healing Massage on a different page. It was Roger who built the slate, petrified wood & river rock shower you'll see in the photographs on page 4.
Ann is an early interventionist who spent many years as a bilingual elementary teacher & then began early intervention work with the New Mexico School for the Deaf's Step*Hi program, which had so greatly benefitted us when Lisa was a toddler. Ann still works part time with NMSD Step*Hi.
We hope you'll come visit so we can learn about you & you can get to know us better. If you're just coming for the lodging & soaks, that's okay, too. We keep busy!
