thank you Cereoid. I also called Zhan and she gave me a huge imput
concerning this subject. (I filled in way more details with her and she's my
beloved Zennie and I treasure her opinions) I will have to deal with all
this and give Squire an answer in the next 24 hours..............yes, 24
hours. I might not be living in the foothills of the Smokies for much
longer despite my having felt as if I'd found my other home. ahhh well, I
will keep ya'll posted if yer interested. I won't bother people with the
details, only if and when this happens. If it does, it was meant to be. If
it doesn't, I won't bother ya'll with it further. Thanks for your kindness
as well.

madgardener slipping back into the bushes now to quell the rising panic of a
50 year old woman possibly facing yet another cross country move with six
cats, two dogs, and various houseplants and whatnot and whatever bulbs can
take the climate if this happens. (we won't talk about all the woodland
plants I have around here. They'd go to whomeverI see fit to pass on to if
it happens. I would never leave it behind for someone to destroy.)

I have been to Albuquerque only once and loved the place. Its a college
town
and a very friendly place. It does get cold there in winter but its much
dryer that its equivalent zone further east.

I would suggest you do a google search to find out all you want to know
about Albuquerque. There is no way you are going to find all the answers
to
the kind of questions you are asking on a single website.

I need to know what Albuquerque, New Mexico is like. Climate. Cost of
living. Cost of houses. Sizes of yards. Restrictions. Crime. What zone
it's
considered. A good site that is idiot proof that might take me to these
questions. What groceries average. This is extremely important to me
and
before ya'll tell me to go to a website. ..... the ones I've found are
extensive, it takes forever to download these sites of some of them (I
have
dial up connection and I need a dead ringer site that would be simple
with
answers to these questions) unless there is someone out there in the
newsgroup that can answer me because they live there.................
madgardener serious about these inquiries (don't ask, just help me,
please)
