I just recieved this.....ThanksPam hello rene, happy new year 2007 belated wishes coming to you from puerto escondido, oaxaca, mexico.

i don´t check e-messages very often because we don´t have a computer at my daughter´s place so have to tromp a quarter mile to the internet place....which may or may not be open, othe computers may or not be full.....and one doesn´t hang around very long waiting because it gets hot on the street, away from the sea breezes. but when i do check, i enjoy reading your blogs.....and although i know what a drag it is to read and-or listen to criticisms, its fun reading about your attitude around it all.....all, etc. people in glass houses would be better off not throwing stones....and all that jazz. if you weren´t writing the blog we, wayyyyy down here, wouldn´t have any reliable updates on gary....so you can file this in the *positive* input box! thanks for everything you write, rene.

kay has been here with my daughter adrienne and i for a week now....and two weeks more to go! last night we did what´s called a *temazcalli* (meaning womb of the mother).........a sweat the traditional mexican way. of course these are the times i think about you-all UP THERE..........and always with love.

time to sign off. hello to gary if you talk with him. xxoo, pam
