Gratitude, no pictures

I want to take time to give a big thanks to all who made this excellent adventure possible, and at the risk of sounding schmaltzy...the wind beneath our wings

Cindy, Walter and Pat, below and Chris and Penny, across, for their stealth observation

The Cooks' for keeping the yard looking good

Patty for patiently helping me handle on-line banking

David and Janet for their sympathetic financial expertise and facilitation

Jerry and Tom for giving us the gift of beautiful music, health, communication and a graceful exit

Friends, including but not limited to: Judi, JoAnn, Cindy, Mary, Robin/Tom, Richard/Ruth, Barb, Jack, Uncle Mike, Lisa, for keeping us up on their lives and helpling us stay connected when we're far away

Steve and Charron for introducing us to this lifestyle and fueling our wanderlust

Jesse for his support and joy

Kate for her valuable and enthusiastic advice and her personalized first aid kit

And, we can't forget Fred, wonderful Fred.  He is taking charge of our stick home, doing what is needed to keep it safe and striking fear in the hearts of the mice that may think the house is available for their parties

We are grateful.....
