New Year's News
It has been a few days since my last update, but they have been busy ones. John spent several days leading up to the New Years in Dalton with his girlfriend's family. Courtney has been packing, saying her goodbyes and dating one particular guy, while Debbie and I have been manically preparing the house to go on sale. Our tasks (mostly mine) have been to paint, refinish floors, make the yard look "low maintenance" and toss or store mountains of miscellany that have filled too many corners of our home. Debbie is not a neatnik, andI am a pack rat, so we have been more than busy. John is a messy pack rat, but he has been the most dedicated of all to the process of making our hundred year home look clean and new.
John has come down with a mild cold, which we are watching with care. He is now off Prednisone comepletly again and so we are watching his stomach and such for any signs of rejection. So far, much more than good.
I took Courtney to the airport yesterday for her Peru trip. I couldn't tell who was more nervous between us, but she arrived in Lima and she was able to email me from her Blackberry that all is well thus far. She is now on a plane to Cusco where she will attend classes and live. Cusco is supposed to be one of the most scenic cities in the world and is about 45 miles along the Incan Trail to Machu Pichu.
She has set up a travel blog at http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?go=Corchita7
Her first entry is in Spanish, but there is a rough Internet translator at http://babelfish.altavista.com/ which was helpful enough for me to see that it mentions the really neat squeeze bottle portable water purifier that I bought for her. Bookmark her blog (and maybe the translator) to keep up with her on this remarkable adventure.
