I start this blob not knowing how it works or who will read it but it will be the only record of our journey from middle class middle America (even if it is on the Left Coast) to a little house in a little town on the South Coast of Panama.
Most of the big things are done: I retired, Linda sold her business, we have a reliable tenant for house, we got Mother moved to an adult living place near my brother.
But who thought the economy would melt down and leave us with a lot less than we had saved for. Nevertheless we are moving forward and may just not come back
We are in the middle of packing out of the house and moving into a little trailer until we leave for Panama on Oct 21. And last night we had to put down Sarah our 15 year old Aussie. It was time and she was ready but it is so final to have her looking in my eyes (as she always did) one minute and to be totally still the next. We buried her last night.
