February 22, 2008, Mexico.

Tomorrow is the big day.  We fly to Houston, then to Washington, arriving home at eight o'clock, all going correctly that is.  We will use the wheelchair in the airports, which are a godsend to us.  So we are hoping for the best.  Ken looked up the weather.  32 in Washington and 70 in Harper, Texas.  Robbie and Joyce packed their coats.  We of course did not bring coats!!

This morning Ken and I went walking on the sidewalk north of our place.  Our system is to take the wheel chair, wheeled empty by me, then when Ken needs to rest he sits in the wheel chair to recover.  Last week,we went half the distance,and he rested 8 times.  Today he rested 3 times.  The temperature is perfect for walking, about 70 with a breeze.  We will miss this weather.

Tonight we are dining at a new restaurant, 'Fahita Republic', kind of a funky little restaurant outside by the canal.  Ken and I walked down to see it this morning and it looks cute, but we will let you know if the food is any good.  Taking friends to a new place is always hit and miss.  But who cares.  We'll all have fun anyway.  Joyce and Robbie have enjoyed this place.  In fact they are in the process of buying 5 weeks of a 2 bedroom and den apartment here.  Isn't that fun?  We'll have neighbors here too.
