MARCY INSPIRED BONUS VIDEO: Silver City, New Mexico/A Giant Pit/& Why My Mom Was Born In Space

[@jeanettemunoz2540]

Marcy thank you so much for sharing. My great grandparents settled their. my mom and her family were all born there. my uncles and their sons worked at the mine and retired from their they worked hard. when they got home delicious dinner was served everything homemade . Wives would cater to them i think its still like that now. When my mom & her sisters where in their late teens they moved to California and they stayed. So i loved visiting Silver my best memories growing up. So all my uncles have passed all my cousins are all still there. Thanks for sharing and bringing back my best memories. Your mom is beautiful and truly a New Mexico woman 🥳❣️

[@marcyinspired1442]

I loved reading your comment. My grandfather probably knew your uncles, as it is such a small town. Too bad they're not around anymore to ask them. Thank you for watching!

[@krishnavenialphonse1462]

Your mom seems to be a very contented person Marcy...Life is all about changes and we do learn to adapt..its nice your family spends time together❤❤❤❤

[@marcyinspired1442]

Yes, I'm really thankful. At the end of the day, family means so much more than any location.

[@gabbymediccue17]

I’m from the Sacramento area and will be retiring soon! I want to move to the 4-corner area and had your sister waited a year, I could have bought her home! Silver City looks beautiful‼️ I’m putting Silver City on my bucket list. Great video. 🤗

[@marcyinspired1442]

How wonderful that you will be retiring soon! The Four Corners area would be a pretty big change from Sacramento! I love the southwest, but I also love Northern California. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@nanciumphres9001]

Thank you for sharing this corner of New Mexico. It has memories for me too

[@marcyinspired1442]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

[@kimberlytorrez9552]

I was born there! My Grandparents were also born in Santa Rita. Lots of Family roots/history there. My aunts, uncles cousins ect… still live there! I love it there and love to go visit when we can!

[@marcyinspired1442]

Oh, how nice to hear that! I have so many memories tied to all of Grant county.

[@eeaajj2007]

This was great! I haven’t been to Silver City in over 40 years. My mother’s half sister lived there all her life. Nice segment on your mother’s birthplace. You can see how emotional it made her feel. Looking forward to green chile recipes 😘

[@marcyinspired1442]

On the way back, we drove by my grandfather's house in Bayard, but it meant nothing without him there. It's sad how that happens. Still, we have so many great memories in all of Grant county. Thanks so much for following along. Hope you're doing well.

[@user-ve7dk3it2s]

My mom recognized your mom & Uncle Natie right away. Nice picture & video❤

[@marcyinspired1442]

Who is this, so I can let her know?

[@brettmoore6781]

I need to get out to Silver City. I haven't been since I was a kid growing up in Las Cruces. I remember the train station and the cliff dwellings. Beautiful little town.

[@marcyinspired1442]

It's a nice little getaway that gets you out of the heat. I grew up in La Mesa, just south of you in Las Cruces.

[@marcyinspired1442]

I just called my mom to read her your comment. (She was driving home from her line-dancing class, that's how keeps active.) Anyway, she got so happy with just the mention of your name. She says she remembers when you won the Spelling Bee, and that you were always so smart. She sends her love and warmest regards.

[@marcyinspired1442]

How many of you are familiar with this part of New Mexico? If not, would you be interested in visiting now? Let me know in the comments.

[@donhopkirk3220]

Hi Marcy, I lived in Silver City from 1979-1982 with my grandparents Robert & Bette Everard @. 206 23rd St. I had been missing New Mexican cuisine since living back in California. So glad I found your channel. Was really surprised you knew about Silver City. My grandfather was also a lifelong resident of Silver City. His father George Everard started a blacksmith shop located at 600 W Market Street around 1900. I could go on and on. Just wanted to tell you I love your channel and plan to try more of your recipes. Thank you your efforts are appreciated. 4:38 4:

[@marcyinspired1442]

@@donhopkirk3220 I so loved reading your comment. The fact you remembered the exact address is so sweet and shows how special Silver City must be to you. That's how I feel about that whole area. I could go on and on. My grandfather settled in Bayard, so many summers were spent visiting him. We drove by his house on our way out of town and it's just not the same without him there. Anyway, I'm happy you found my channel, and that my videos bring a little taste of New Mexico to you in California.

[@violasdaughter]

Hi !! I am.😊 My parents are from born in space. I have tons of family in silver, bayard, hurley, and deming. I luv your channel! My dad introduced mee to it😁 We are sharing, most defintely.

[@marcyinspired1442]

@@violasdaughter They used to have "Born in Space" reunions every so many years. My mom attended quite a few of them. But it's been a while. I wonder if they even have them anymore. That's so cool that your dad introduced you to my channel. Tell him I say Hello and Thank You.

[@violasdaughter]

hi !! I sure will let my dad know. We are makin your meatloaf w/hatch chile😋this weekend. Have a nice day!!🌹

[@ja-xc8hc]

My grandma was from closer to Santa Fe and later moved to Pueblo Co but she brought with her the ability to cook many of the same New Mexico style dishes that you make. I appreciate your channel, I’ve been able to replicate some her cooking by watching. I really appreciate the board with a scriptures as well!

[@marcyinspired1442]

I'm thrilled to hear you've been able to replicate some family dishes by watching. Thank you for telling me. I love everything that has to do with the southwest: the landscape, the food, the people. It's all a gift from God and I especially want to give glory to Him!

[@greenghopper]

Thanks for sharing, Marcy. I remember driving by the Santa Rita historical marker once. We had went to an apple fest in Hillsboro and then came back to Silver City along the old county road.

[@marcyinspired1442]

They used to have a little museum at that historical marker, and that too is gone now. So sad. Do they still have the apple fest in Hillsboro? I haven't been in forever!

[@user-ss5ro5mq3l]

Hi Marcy. I had to comment on your video of Silver City. I lived there for 20 plus years and often ate at Jalisco's. 2 of my son's were born there and still live there. Also, LOVE your recipes and HATCH CHILI is the best. THANK YOU for great memories.

[@marcyinspired1442]

Thank you for watching! I can imagine how it brought back lots of memories since you lived there 20 years! With two sons there, you still have reason to visit. And Jalisco's is SO good!

[@katherinequesada7382]

My parents and family are from Silver City and we make it a point to eat at Jaliscos. We make yearly trips for hatch New Mexico Green chile. Oh my Gosh my Aunt was born in Santa Rita! My Uncles and cousins worked in the mine and one of my Uncles died in the mine. I love the small town charm of Silver. ❤❤❤ Oh and you must try the sopapillas at Jaliscos they are perfection!

[@marcyinspired1442]

Oh wow. You have really deep roots there. You'll have to ask your relatives if they knew Nati Valenzuela. He was my maternal grandfather.

What a sweet story.. your mom was so beautiful.. and emotional 🥲

[@angelinarojo3990]

I had just watched this movie on Netflix call Que Viva Mexico and the families land was mined for gold. Hearing the sadness in her voice made me a little teary eyed. I can't imagine how hard it would be to see your childhood town completely gone.💔

[@marcyinspired1442]

So true. And it's not like they took a lot of pictures back in the day. All I hear are stories of what it was like. All the people who lived there moved further and further away each time the pit grew bigger. I'll have to checkout that movie on Netflix.

[@violasdaughter]

Hi marcie. My parents are from santa rita😊 They left in 1962. My dads last name is carrasco & my mama's maiden is trujillo. Your mother is a doll.🌹 I have tons of family in southwest, nm. Btw, luv your channel and I will defintely share!😊

[@marcyinspired1442]

You would have been scared by how I devoured them! Lol They were delicious! Thanks for watching!

[@Srrrrrrr...]

I've been living in Silver six years now. It's great. The high altitude and dry weather are great for star gazing, which was my #1 interest when I moved here. I ride an ebike everywhere I go, and the town is just small enough so that people recognize me all over as the guy with that weird looking bike. Hehe...

[@mbmorgan6155]

OMgosh. We have Silver City on our radar. We're thinking about moving back to NM. Either Albuquerque (my hometown) or Silver City. Looking forward to semi-retirement but can't decide if we want a small town or a bigger city.

[@marcyinspired1442]

My husband and I are at the same stage in life. My daughter wants us to move to Albuquerque, but at her age (24), there's no telling if she'll stay there for good, where as the rest of my family is in southern New Mexico. If you do end up choosing Silver City, I know a sweet house that's for sale, with a beautiful backyard that has fruit trees; apple, pear & peach.

[@SergioSanchez-j3u]

I was raised there I still have family there it's heaven

[@LeonardLongoria-q7n]

You are awesome

[@gina_990]

Born and raised in Silver City. Jalisco's is where my family gathers when we visit. My father also worked at Kennecot.

[@marcyinspired1442]

How perfect. So you could totally relate to this video. I remember driving out there to visit my grandfather, and we always knew we were getting close when we could see the Kennecot smelter pipes. I know they were demolished quite a while ago, but I still expect to see them when I drive out that way.

[@sylviagomez5440]

Born in Clovis, but I claim Silver City, my home town. Haven't been back since 1995, but you know what they say. "You can take the girl out of NM, but you can't take the NM out of the girl. I've lived primarily in California, but it doesn't even come close to my roots in NM. When Marcy and her mom talked about Santa Rita, my dad was a crane operator there and died at the company clinic in 1952. So Santa Rita is more than a mine to me, it is a memorial.

[@marcyinspired1442]

Oh, that is so touching. This video must have been bittersweet. Sending a big hug to you in California.
