Tying up lose ends

I have been back in Canada for three months, working at getting back to Mexico.  I just caught the loveliness of summer in the Okanagan and was able to swim in the lake with my very good friend Aja, who is a cat person but loves my dog Maddie.  I reconnected with friends and enjoyed some good visits.   But mostly, I'm back to sort out things so I can leave again.   This includes: sorting and chucking many possessions, putting the things I want to keep in my other most wonderful friend's basement in Armstrong, selling my cherished Honda Civic, searching for and buying a vehicle to take me to Mexico and tying up lose ends, getting divorce papers in order, etc. Fast forward to the middle of November: It took awhile, but it all got done and when I was actually all ready to go, I started getting those butterflies in my stomach.  What helped was having friends at many stages in the process, so it became a voyage of many small steps.

I couldn't have done it nearly as well without help from dear friends like Jeff, Christine, Liz, Aja, Lisa, Javier, Alan, Ron, James, Rob, Jonathan, and of course, my mom.   I am so blessed.

So this next section of blogging will be my RETURN to mexico and the journey continued.  I have Maddie with me, and my Toyota Sienna and places I want to see!
