Found a great website for pictures of Antigua Guatemala: www.antiguadailyphoto.com. Things are moving forward, I hope. Life does sometimes happen while we're busy making plans so we'll see what comes.

Nevertheless, this morning I move forward as if I will be leaving for Guatemala in early January. I just made a contact through the Casa Guatemala board with a woman who is just now heading out to spend 2 months at Casa. She speaks no Spanish and is 70 years old! Hip-hip-hooray! I'm not the only wild one out and about. She is taking 140 lbs of everything she can find - clothes, money. . . as she said, "They need so much." I will take school supplies and books with me. (www.casa-guatemala.org).

I housesitting until Dec 15. Then I'll return to Nancy's in Hotchkiss as my homebase and spend some time in Denver with Michelle and Sarina, and perhaps some time in Leadville with Catherine and David. Oh, how I hope things have semi-stabilized by then. Life's roads are rocky sometimes.

Tomorrow is Catherine's concert, her first solo. I'm like way nervous for her. Huge butterflies in my stomach when I think of it. Silly me.

I must email Volunteer Peten (www.volunteerpeten.com) and let him know I'm coming, with books, but cannot say when.

So many little details to take care of . . . . .
