     She says it is a pretty blue.
     Wire money to Caitie (our daughter)
     At daughters house waiting for us.

4.  Buy scooter for the Brennie
     Brennie wants a Vespa 300ie

6.  A few other things:
     -  Brennie bought a couple leather chairs and ottomans
        Craigslist.
        Alex delivered to house  
     -  Brennie bought a quilting table and lamp
        Craigslist.
        Alex delivered to house      
     - Bought the house with basic furniture in it
       So .... we have furniture until our container arrives 
       from Cuenca
       Then we will sell the furniture that came with the house.
       Craigslist.
     
Yeah there is a lot more to do ...... but all the rest is tedious.

Life is Sweet,
Clarke

  1. Hola from Cuenca... Just thinking about you two. Don't know why. Missing you I guess. Know one insults me like Clarke. Hope everything is going well for you both in the States. George
