Sold Out
Well folks,
We have done it! After 40 years in La Salina we have sold our home of 26 years. I know it is not a big deal to most of you but to me it was kinda
like having an Azetc Priest chopping half of my heart out with a stone knife. And I didn't even get a whiff of pulgue to ease the pain.
Until I got this from a friend---"It looked like THE END, but now we see it is only the beginning of the next great chapter(and some other nice stuff)
he ended with this--"A philosopher once said--At the end of the road an adventure begins!"
Live and grow is the thing to do.
No, we are not going away! We will just be wandering and looking more.
Saludos

Homeless???
I'm a little confused. Where will you be living now? Are you going to RV around? Good luck to you, wherever you land.

Ditch that lawnmower and have some fun!
As soon as I get the last kid off to college or work, that's exactly what I'm gonna do. I'm tired of cleaning house but have a few years to go yet.
Your analogy about heart ripping sans pulque reminded me of a classic novel I read 25 years ago called Aztec. If you haven't read it yet, it's a fast
and furious historically based pageturner with a couple of sex scenes that could put viagra out of business. Now that you can invest some of that
mow-time in other pursuits..... -Stephanie

read J. Micheners "Mexico" for the
ultimate treatise on Aztec lore and ritual. It will blow your mind.

JEANS...
Don't worry, that was just a vacation/escape home for Bernie and Mary Lou. Their stateside home is not far from yours...

Thanks for the thoughts
Thanks to all of you for the thoughts. David is correct we still have a roof over our heads in Santee, Ca.
Captain Mike, I agree about Mitchner I have every book he ever wrote and have enjoyed several of them more than once. Chesapeake is my favorite
followed by Texas and Mexico. "Axtec " by Gary Jennings (ISBN 0-380-55889-0) is fantastic!
Read Victor Villasenor and believe that it is one of the very best on Mexicans leaving their homeland--very sad but uplifting at the same time. He
still lives in Oceanside. Captain George thanks for the invite and we may just take you up on it after the new year.
My smidgen of a claim to fame is that I have had so many really good friends. By Bernie Swaim December 2007

AAAAAHHHHHH BAJA!
Baja Bernie,
Michener, even the same order of preference, must have something to do with a Baja mind??
Take us up on the invite, we'll have a good time. See you in Loreto.
