Happy 50th Debbie! Liz asked us to share our first impressions, and I wanted to do that because our first impression of Debbie was very different from how she is. Before we even met Liz and Debbie, we got to know them a little bit over e-mail. From the way that Debbie wrote, Dan and I totally thought that she was a hard-ass. She wrote us "in Chimayo you do this and you don't do that, etc". She sounded very stern and matter of fact, and we were both intimidated by her words. But then we got to New Mexico and finally all met one another. Pretty immediately we realized that Debbie was a total sweetheart, and a goober to boot. She was always bringing us food, making sure that we were comfortable and well fed. I spent many an afternoon talking outside with Debbie, watching the dogs play. I realized that in those initial e-mails she was just being protective of her home, that she didn't want some city out-of-towners to ruin the peace of mind her and Liz had created for themselves in dusty little Chimayo. So we are so thankful that Debbie is the wonderful, warm person that she turned out to be, and we love her and wish her many happy returns of the day.
