We only spent three months in San Miguel at Barbara's lovley house. I would love to see that school mural that she just blogged about. Please say hello to Don and tell him how very sorry we are. We really met some of the most people while there.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340754457769990679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672834250325632231.post-75508934922352962552017-08-05T12:17:25.168-05:002017-08-05T12:17:25.168-05:00I have to admit that I was slightly dumbfounded wh...I have to admit that I was slightly dumbfounded when the phone rang and it was you, Al. In fact, as you know, I did not recognize your voice. We DID talk for quite a while, until your supper was ready. It was lovely. But, after we hung up, I DID wonder what had caused you to call me. Isn't it sad that we all don't call each other more often. I so agree on all of your comments about emails and e-cards. I always send hand-written thank you notes. People are absolutely dumbfounded. On another note, for those of us who have hand our child or husband "die",or very close family or friends, let me say, we do feel better thinking they have "passed on to another level of consciousness". It soothes our shattered souls.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672834250325632231.post-55052716842288312912017-08-05T12:01:43.454-05:002017-08-05T12:01:43.454-05:00"Went home to Jesus"!?

While in San Miguel for three months we met the whole clan on quite of few coffee and lunch outings. Peter in fact was going to show Sheryl how to use her mandolin as it was collecting dust on her shelf. However she was not well and was going to see her doctors in Canada. They were a lovely couple and really welcomed us into the fold.
