Where did you live before moving to Jubilee Los Lunas? Why did you move?

After I sold my California business, a home health care agency, this city-girl moved to Belen, had a job with the State and proceeded to develop a three-acre ranch with horses, chickens, rabbits, goats, dogs and cats. Plus vegetable and cactus gardens. After seven years, I was still with the State, but little miss farmer wanted a life with less work and more fun. One morning a new horse ran me over and as I picked myself up out of the dirt I said to myself: I’m out of here!

How did you hear about Jubilee?

Jubilee ran an ad in the local newspaper – their first open house was that coming weekend. My office had recently moved from Belen to Los Lunas and I asked a co-worker where El Cerro Mountain was. Oh, 2 miles down the road. I went over to look on Tuesday, I put a deposit down on Wednesday and had my ranch up for sale by the weekend.

What do you like most about living in Jubilee?

What do I like most about living here? The opportunities. There are so many activities here: hiking, yoga, gym, group exercises, craft & music classes, card games, pool, bocce ball, parties, movies, and more. You can pick and choose, do all or do none, as you wish. You can make good friends, have a sense of community, help others and be helped. Oh, one more very important thing – dogs are allowed!

If you have one, what is your favorite cultural thing to do in Los Lunas or Albuquerque?

I am a member of two art organizations, Tome Gallery and Belen Art League. In Albuquerque, I enjoy the museum, aquarium and zoo! And jazz concerts when they have them.

If you have one, what is your favorite nature activity you do in and around Los Lunas?

My favorite nature activity is hiking here in the adjoining open space, going down to Bosque del Apache, and being a member of the ABQ Cactus Society.

What are your favorite restaurants in Los Lunas or Albuquerque? What do you like about them?

I don’t eat out a lot, but I really like King Sushi in downtown Albuquerque – they get their fresh fish on Fridays and their tuna sashimi is simply wonderful.

What is your favorite Jubilee activity that’s for homeowners only?

My favorite homeowner activity? Can I only pick one? Well, that would have to be our ukulele class on Wednesday nights.

Thanks so much for answering our questions and for being our Homeowner of the Month, Carol. (And as a side note, you look great in that driver’s outfit!)
