WHATS HAPPENING? IS THIS SATURDAY?????
ON the great American highway adventure. somewhere between Houston and ElPaso, lol all looks the same small hills covered in cedar trees sparcely and mesquit trees.... only thing that makes it look different is the highway signs showing how much highway we have eaten up since the last potty break and gas fill up, that we had to take out a loan for lol makes me yern more and more for the beautiful Andes mountains and the cheap gasoline there (1.48) a gallon ...
going to go and do some more pictures to put on Facebook here in a little bit, will just make me more homesick for our little farm and so anxious to get all of the things done here so we can get back to it.
We will probably be having an auction in June some time so anyone want to come down and get some bargains would love to have you and if you want some flowers come down eailer and you can dig up what you want....in May will be the iris in bloom , i am going to dig a lot of them up and put them in pots so they will bloom there and sell them i have a lot of money invested in those things ...if the ones i have dug that dont sell i will take them out of the pots, clean all the dirt off of them and mail them to myself...lol same with lillies ...and maybe some other things but there are so many things there that are flowers that i have spent big money on here to get started in my flower beds, things that grow wild there.....like lantana, orchids,, impatients and many more so will dig some of those up in the hills and put on my gardens will have our farm area beautiful soon enough after we get back....
Frst when we get back we are going to make a fast trip to the coast to see the whales etc while they are there with their babies....then back home to get things going on our little Finca(farm) will need to plant some garden. and start a strawberry patch...lots to do lots to do...
Hope all of you are well ...no one is responding on here much are they , what happened to you all...thank you all of you for the things you did to try to keep the post going. ...cant wait to see you all at the April meeting...love you all It sounds like Brenda is having tiny bits of improvement....lets all continue to pray for her complete recovery.....
love and hugs

Jan,
I am so excited for you and Joe. I just dont think I could pack up and move out of the country like that. It does sound beautiful tho. How does that work with Medicaire insurance and all? Do they cover if you have dr.. visits etc? You can tell I never have traveled abroad. and you said you had to get a permanent visa, is that for a certain period of time like the students do.
So sad about Paul. will surely keep them in our prayers. what are the stores like there or will you shop on line? gee, I am full of questions. colette

the permanent visa is for an indefinate length of time ...no not like student visa or anything. after you are there for 3 years you can vote in their elections and everything......if you are over age 65 then you dont have to pay for medication, doctor visits or anything medical. we just know that if something drastic does happen to social security here we would be really stuck between a rock and a hard place. and our savings would be used up fast with 4oo dollar elect bills and taxes, and insurances....so selling and moving there is a great alternative.....10.00 a month electric bills, 15.00 a YEAR property taxes, gas for truck 1.48 a gallon,and a income producing farm , which hopefully will pay its way plus make enough to pay all expenses....
Shopping in stores like for household items like appliances and things can be done in the larger cities but furniture you can travel to the village that is of wood carvers and they make the most beautiful furniture for so cheap .....you can take them a picture of any headboard for a bed and they can carve you one or build you one just like it. for a fraction of the cost ...for groceries you shop your local food markets held one day a week .....such good tasting food you have never seen such great stuff. and the bartering system is a great way to get some of what you want too.....if you have an overabundance of something and take it to sell you can trade some of what you have for some of what someone else has lol
lol i was full of questions too till i got there ....it is about like it was here in U.S. about 50 years ago until everyone got so greedy and prices went stupidly high....laid back ,beautiful people,
