What's going on as we prepare for Mexico

I got an email today from one of my online friends. She'd noticed that I've been neglecting the blog, and wondered if there was a hesitation on actually moving to Bernal. She also asked about our cat who is being fed by our landlord there. I'll answer her here.

I'll start with the cat: I hadn't talked with our landlord at all till recently, when I needed to check with him about something. He reported that our cat is just fine --- I was quite sure of this intuitively, but it was good to hear! He says she's grown a lot. He also told me that he gave away his cat, Capullo, to someone in another town. When we left, Capullo had a pretty bad infection so I was glad to hear he survived that.

It's not a simple matter to leave behind a community here in Colorado that has meant a lot to us. We've spent a lot of time this summer hanging out with friends, savoring the connections. We kinda think we'll be getting visitors in Bernal! So that may have slowed things up a bit, but basically there's just an enormous amount to do in order to leave our house ready for the new owners -- Kelly just finished the solar hot water installation for our stock-tank hot tub -- and to get our small business to the stage where we can leave it. But I'll try to write more!
