Well we have finally sold the house, and life now begins. We are selling every thing or giving everything away. what a shock to our system: realizing that our treasures, mean very little in this material world. We are also realizing that we are truely leaving and embarcing on our most courageous and wonderful jump off the cliff. The first leg of our journey is the Baja in Mexico. There we will try to relax and figure out what is next. Everyone (our family: Rob Rachelle, Dane and I)are becoming tired and unsettled getting ready for what is to come. Our eldest (the 16 year old daughter) is doing her national lifeguarding course and our son is working on his swimming. The dog however is a challenge, she is being trained by a fabulous trainer who has trained police dogs, handicapped dogs, drug dogs, etc. only to find that our dog has a natural affinity to breaking into houses .... ours specifically. I don't think that was part of the dog training plan. Interesting addition though, maybe for future occupations, Who knew? May be she can teach the children and us too, though I don't think so. We are all a bit too honest. Here we thought we were getting a rottwieler/lab cross and ended up with a rotty bordercollie cross and with the stubborness of the rotty with the brains of the collie we have a fellon, one who enjoys petty crimes. yikes. She can get away with it too with her baby seal eyes, and her pretty face. There is no painting that could every create that criminous-sweeteness. With those eyes, I would have done dastardly deeds and no one would have been the wiser. Isis the dog is coming on the first leg, we will see about the second leg. we have friends willing to help us out with our wayword spoilt only child.
Life is good, we just have to have faith that life will catch us in our leaps of faith and know that all is well.

Love always
Robin
