Catching up...

We did it. We sold the Maine house, drove from Maine to Jocotepec, arranged for care and transport of our 3 cats, moved our goods to Mexico, arranged a rental for 5 months and bought a house. So far, it's all going well. The cats are thriving here, they're outside every day which wasn't the case in the Maine winters. We've already obtained excellent vet care for our cat Sammy.

On the communications front we've set up a skype phone over the internet, and though I evidently sound like I'm in a cave, I'm able to talk to relatives NOB (that's North of the Border).

And, we bought a wonderful house that we're in the process of remodeling. We've got a wonderful Contractor, Danny, and some excellent hard-working carpenters, iron-workers, and plasterers.

With regard to food, I'm eating more vegetables, and enjoying the excellent Argentinian steaks available in the truly affordable restaurants mainly centered in Ajijic. Both Ray and I have lost weight because we walk more and we're eating healthier foods.

In February, I came down with a nasty cold and accquired a new Medical Doctor. The treatment and care have been truly impressive...efficient, timely, thorough and the latest in medical innovation.
