I'm doing 12 things
I read a lot of books, but never remember to record them. Too bad, this is obviously too much for me. (One of the best I read was AWAY, by Amy Bloom.)

I have actually made some progress. I went to Mexico again in Jan/Feb, 2008. This time I stayed in one place long enough to take 5 weeks of classes. One of my classmates and I then took a week to travel by bus into Mixteca country. It was exciting to be sometimes the only gringas in town! I really think my Spanish has improved! The value in studying in Mexico is not just the classes…it’s all the use you make of the language outside of class.
own the property (now for sale) across the road from me so no one will build a house and move in there (read all 2 entries…)
Well…too late. I thought it over…which was more important, my privacy or the means to travel when I wanted? (Couldn’t afford both) It came down to the latter.
Now there is a house over there, and to their credit, a big new horse barn. BUT, it seems this endevor has soured for my new neighbors…she doesn’t want to live there. (NOW she decides?) So it’s up for sale again.
That’s ok…I’ve spent time in Mexico, Greece and France since…I can live with this!
