Chapter 39 first quarter

Everything seemed to be going on slowly, but when Decker looked back, time seemed to fly by too fast.In the days that followed he saw Beth often, instructing her on such trifles as which food store was the best, which post office was the nearest, and what other real shops were there besides the luxury tourist stores around the square. Inexpensive shops and more. Decker hiked up the hill with Beth along the creek next to St. John's College.They passed through the Wilderness Gate residential complex and climbed to the top of Atalaya Mountain.Although her body has not yet fully adapted to such a high altitude, being able to complete a three-hour walk is enough to prove that she has good physical fitness.Decker also took Beth to a large flea market down the hill from the Opera House, which was only open on weekends.They went to Bandelier National Memorial to visit the ruins of the Indian cave houses.They play tennis at the Blood of Christ Tennis Club.Tired of New Mexican food, they went to Harry's Inn for turkey patties and gravy.They also often make homemade rotisserie chicken at Beth or Decker's place.They went to see foreign films at the Jean Cocteau or the Café.They went to watch the auction at the Indian Market on Willwright Museum Road, a short walk from Lindo Road.They go to the horse races or to the Pueblo Casino in Ponjowahae.Then, at 11 a.m. on Thursday, September 1, Beth and Decker met at the Santa Fe deed.After Beth signed the deed, she handed over a check, which gave her title to the house.
