~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

I got cold feet and backed out on Sunday on buying my dream condo. It is listed now, and will be open for showings this weekend. And now I am so mad at myself! It was mine! But she won’t allow a contingency on selling my current place, nor a delay in the closing. I was already going to be taking a large loss, and it would’ve easily doubled as the sale of my current one languished and took price cuts. So I’m doing the right thing financially, but not for my heart!

I’m up at D1’s house. I just love being with these grandchildren! It is such a comfort, and they like it too at these young ages.

Jude, such a bummer that your dogs are all reaching the end of their life spans at the exact same time. So painful & overwhelming for you to absorb so many losses at once.

Your DIL sounds amazing, Ginger! I really like the monkey that you made. I thought your son already found a place in Costa Rica?

I’m glad that your partials are doing pretty well, Cowboy.

Waves to all!

Slo, that place turned out to have some boundary issues that were concerning so they pulled out. It's very different buying out of country in CR. You have to do your own due diligence and there's no protection for the buyer so they'll keep looking. They've learned a lot! I hope your condo sells soon!

ABC, I guess I thought you had a full set of dentures. I'm glad it's not affecting your taste. That's what I hear is a big complaint with a full set. That's why permanent implant dentures are the best. Of course, a person has to sell a kidney to afford them!

Jude, I know it's soon, but I hope you are planning on getting another pup. Just think of all the joy a new pup would bring you! You guys are such great pet parents! I miss having a dog but hubby is adamant we aren't getting another one. Cyrus has to be an only "cat".

Those heads took me 4-6 hours. The monkey was way easier than the elephant. I'm glad they are done!

Rava, i hate waking up like that. I woke up with a mean headache and thought....I used to do these to myself all the time. So stupid!!

Hey, Mul, any adventures on your horizon?

Pool party was a success and all the littles were exhausted! What a fun place to entertain them! I'll take another day of freedom!

Hi folks. Morer about ayahuasca and Costa Rica tomorrow. Switzerland. I had a resurgence of cancer. There is a particular immunotherapy that is available there and not available in the US or Can. It was a trial that a Stanford MD friend of Mrs. Techie got me accepted into. After consulting with the trial specialist in Lucerne, we decided to go for the 10 week treatment. It made sense as we had been planning on visiting my daughter in Stockholm anyway. Things worked out well as all my cancer markers are good and there is no evidence of disease. We have both become dedicated to health and fitness even more so than when I did Tri's. BTW, I had forgotten how wonderful it is to be able to drink water from any sink, spout, or open fountain in all the towns we visited., It was truly a healing journey for the both of us.

More to follow re: Stockholm and my daughter...
