Serving Los Alamos Since 1963
As the Baby Boomer generation continues to grow older, it’s not uncommon to see aging parents move in with their grown children. Regardless of the reason, this situation is becoming more widespread and could potentially create insurance ramifications.
Let’s look at the language in the standard HO 00 03 homeowners form, a common homeowners policy. The policy defines “insured” to include you and residents of your household who are your relatives. This definition will be helpful as we look to make sure proper coverage exists.

Front Street: Businesses are lined up on Front Street in the Boot Hill Museum. A couple of blocks of the original Front Street from the 1880s were recreated as a part of the museum. The facades and business names in the set are the same as 1880s photos of the original town. In place of the dusty Front Street is a blanket of green grass, which is used for outdoor activities Read More
Fr. Glenn: Unenviable Envy
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
“People spend money they don’t have/
to buy stuff that they don’t need/
to impress people they don’t like.”
This short adage seems quite true—the first two lines maybe the most. We read news articles stating that increasingly more Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, and that household debt is at all-time highs. Also, that people have more trouble sleeping these days, and that anxiety is also at an all-time high. Hmmm … a correlation there, you think?

Los Alamos Family Council CountUP! Week 15
By JORDAN REDMOND
Executive Director
Los Alamos Family Council
Los Alamos Family Council has been serving this community for sixty years! During that time, it has been in various offices spaces in town.
Our current office location, 1350 Central Ave, Suite 102, adjacent to the Bradbury Science Museum, is just a stone’s throw away from the first office building owned by LAFC.

Rep. Kelly Fajardo, R-Los Lunas, complained about the rival party failing Read More

He almost gave heart attacks to two old ladies and a one-eyed cat the other day. It was a pleasant day for this time of year and they were just walking silently along the sidewalk here in town when the voice seemed to beam down from the heavens.
“Okay now … listen up! Ast yerself this … has you had any good chopped stewy lately? No. Well, jest haul it on down to the Gates of Heaven Chinese joint here in town and chow down!”
