I taught in the Cy-Fair School District for 20 years. I started at Watkins Middle School (2 yrs)l and 18 years at Labay Middle School, both just off Hwy 6 S. I taught 8th grade science and loved it. I grew up in Roswell and when my mother became very ill I retired from teaching and moved back to Roswell. Given a choice I would prefer to live elsewhere but having so many wonderful quilting friends here makes it OK. Another good thing about Roswell is the low humidity which makes the summers bearable and we do have 4 seasons. Miss the choice of shopping available in a big city, we have to go to Albuquerque or Lubbock (approx 3 hr drive) for any major shopping. Don't know why that seems so bad, I would often spend as long as 2 hours driving for shopping in Houston and think nothing of it. :)
