Thank you so much for the update!  Sounds as if you have been extremely busy
with so many things to do and look after.  Glad there is some improvement
for Megan and that you are recovering from the knee injury.  Seems as if it
has been forever, huh?
Hope you and Ola won't have to work too hard to handle the B&B.  Who does
the cooking?  Pray it will be very successful and you'll make lots of money
on it so you won't have to worry about needing income (but do you ever have
enough).  Moving is always a big job, and having to furnish the house & B&B
had to make it even harder.  But it sounds like a beautiful place and one
that you will enjoy.
Hope you will be able to post more often now.  BTW, how is Logan doing now?

Ohhhhhhh, tempting.   Mary and I will be in San Jose in early
October for a dance festival, then thinking of traveling a week.
I'd love to stop at Felton for the steam trains.  <g>

John left this morning [and then sat in the SF airport for 5 hours
until they finally decided they should just get another plane] for
Idaho to go paddling. Called me to tell me he finally made and then
called again about an hour later to say the river had been closed due
to forest fire. So he and four girls from the paddling club back east
are there with their fingers crossed that they are going to make it on
to some river.  Anyway, I digress...  We have just moved as well and
it sounds like you are living in boxes like we are.
I will send this along to his email and ask when he gets back to town.
Sounds like it would be nice.
I have been tapped to babysit Noah for the first week of school and
then Jen still gets her time off save for that week. They have finally
found a sub and did that today - wee late on that front. I had him for
about 5 hours today while Jen tried to put her room back in shape and
he slept only a tiny bit the whole time he was here. Reminds me of his
mother. He turned 10 weeks old today and weighs 9 lb 9oz so he is
getting there.
Take care of yourself.

Glad you checked in M, I was so worried about you. Glad you got another
house. I  wish you luck with the B&B.

Glad to hear Megan is doing slightly better. Congrats on the new daughter.

I hope you can get the financial problems taken care of and have money to
live off.

It sure sounds like you have been busy. I hope you are recovering from the
knee injury with no more problemss.

You take care and know that you are thought of always.

ouuuu . . . the santa cruz mountains . . .  you got lucky, on that score,
huh?<smile>  i've always loved the santa cruz mountains.  sounds like lots
of elbow room and fresh air.

also sounds like it's been very stressful for you, in terms of energy and
financial expenditure, hon.  i wish it didn't have to be that way for you.
i'm pleased to hear your knee injury is getting better and that megan
finally has some improvement happening.  and glad to hear that ola is such a
good match for you and your life.  how cool that she was blest to have you
to rescue her and is a blessing to you at the same time.

why do we, many of us, always seem to apologize for being out of touch, when
each of us only has just so much time and energy to squish everything in our
lives into?  so, cut that out.<whispered gently>

when you are all settled in, maybe late this fall or early winter, i'll get
a chance to finally meet you, missy m.

it's lovely to know you are still hanging in there and filling your corner
of the world with your goodness.  thank you for making the time to fill us
in.

So guys, here's the deal.  I have a new house.  It is in the santa
cruz mountains on two beautiful acres.  We have a little B&B that is
very accessible.  We have been booked solid since Mid June and are
starting to have free time.  Any of you on this coast want a free
vacation in Santa Cruz?  Kate, Joe, Elena, Caroline and John, Jo and
Jim, come spend a few days vacationing.

Slight update:  Megan is slightly better thanks to non allopathic
treatment and I just can't even talk about it any more than that.

I have a new daughter type person.  She is slightly older than most of
my girls have been but i have know her since she was 15.  She was on
her own then and got into a situation that turned into domestic
violence.  I found this huge house thinking meg was moving here (she
has since changed her mind) and extricated Ola from the situation she
was in.  She is a wonderful young woman and we get along famously
being Aquarius, scorpio, taurus, as well as tigers.  We live
smashingly well together.  Now if I can just figure out a way to make
enough money to support us <g>

I am recovering from the knee injury and have new extremely expensive
health insurance.

I am so sorry I have been out of touch but I have barely managed to
pull off any of this and keep up with Megan's healthcare needs, Ola's
stuff, my health, and moving (no easy move, this, as I sold most of my
four bedroom houseful of furniture when i left redwood street).  we
had to completely furnish a five bedroom house and a B&B on a very
limited budget.

so that's the haps-email me or call and come visit when you can

As soon as T gets a new job and we're financially stable again, we are
SO there. I'm thinking November-ish...
