May 4th 2010

This is our first posting and the technology is a bit daunting - will require a learning curve.

Our objective is to tell our story, briefly, for anyone interested.

On Susan's birthday 4/19/10 the judge who had to approve the house and the purchase for Olivia and her parents said "yes." Within a couple of days we had a contract signed that required an appraisal and a house inspection to be completed by May 7th. We are in that period now. Once everything is finalized we will really gear up for a closing on May 24th.

I will add some more here about Olivia and her parents and why this connection is one made by the Universe!

Between now and then, we have to pack for the first leg of our new journey - volunteering at the Ford House in Mendocino, CA. We will leave Tucson on the 25th of May and will drive a truck to Salt Lake City putting what is left of our "stuff" (not much we hope) into a storage unit near John. We will then drive to Port Townsend to pick up the Motor Home that we own 1/4 of with Kendra and Jim Golden, then down to Petaluma for meetings at the Institute of Noetic Sciences then on June 20th we will start our new volunteer job. The motor home will be parked in Russian Gulch State Park where we will live until October 31, 2010. From that time on we have no plans.

But - the trick is going to be getting out of this house and the guest house... I'll write more about that when the job we need to finish today (the inventory and pricing of all furniture and art) that we have been working on for days and days.
