We still haven't figured this out. Why did Jeanette trust us with her most valuable possessions, her kitty Silk, and her beautiful Mexican home? She hardly knows us.
On New Year's Eve I received and email from our friend Jeanette wishing us a Happy New year and commenting that since our mutual friend Lisa was still laid up in Portland, she was looking for a house/cat sitter for her month-long trip to New Zealand. I quickly printed out the letter and asked my reluctant husband to read it NOW. When he finished I asked "would you consider going back down to Mazatlan for about five weeks in Feb/Mar?" I think he said "hell yes". Moments later I asked a similar question electronically to Jeanette, "would you consider us?" I checked Travelocity and they had 2 seats left for the time we wanted so I booked them. One hour from start to finish. I didn't sleep well wondering if there was something we forgot that would prevent us from going.
If you were ever a teenage girl you may remember making a list of what you required in a husband. Tall, dark and handsome, must have a good sense of humor, must be a good dancer etc. Never did I add "must love Mexico as much as I do" to the list,but I got it anyway. It's a miracle!! By the way I didn't get everything on the list (dancing)
I know I've been remiss in my blogging---I have so much to say I don't know where to start. So here's the beginning.
