More About This Website

This blog follows our travels to and throughout Mexico. We finished our final school year in June, 2007 and retired.   July through October we lived in our Bigfoot Camper or on our Capri 26 sailboat full mOOn on Camanche Lake. We departed Northern California on November 7th, 2007 after the much anticipated wedding of our son, Micah and his fabulous lady, Kim.  Ken, Kris, and Duffie, the Wonder Westie, have travelled extensively in our Bigfoot Camper which is equipped with satellite internet which allows us to maintain this blog on a regular (or semi-regular) basis.  Bookmark this site and share in our adventure.

A SAD DAY

by Ken

Today we are going to the funeral services of another of our colleagues.  A young vibrant teacher, at thirty-five years of age, passed away from heart complications while waiting for a heart transplant.  None was available.  He left a wife and two young boys, age 9 and 7 – so sad.  Just before the school year started we lost a 42 year old teacher from cancer who valiantly fought for several years in a losing battle.  We seem to lose the best.  We have seen many friends, lately, become seriously ill, and I guess this has a lot to do with our decision to retire a few years prior to our original plan.  We figure we'll make it work no matter what our situation may be. Comparatively, though, our situation is good as we have reasonably good health and a compassion to seek adventure.  We're going to go and live the rest of our lives to the fullest, as the toss of the dice is so unpredictable.
