About Me
- Nancy King
- I retired January 2011 as a basic-writing instructor at Central New Mexico Community College in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I spent the 2007-2008 academic year as a Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program participant, teaching English as a Foreign Language at the Centro de Idiomas, Universidad Veracruzana, in Xalapa, Mexico. Read about my year in México on this blog.

Hi Nancy,
Yes the balloon fiesta is here and our skies are very colorful with all the beautiful balloons. I was going to invite Isabel to the fiesta but she already had plans to go. I will be having her over for dinner this weekend and after we are going to the casino. Yes she wants to go see what we spend our money on. I hope our luck is good so her experience will be a positive one. I'll let you know if we win.
