Loved the butthead comment. Might you be in the Bay Area for turkey day? The Midwest Smith/ Winchester’s are planning on being in the Bay Area for the day/weekend.

You said that you are going north in Sep. I read in another blog that you are leaving. Are you leaving for the north for good?

Hi Kathy, Haven’t seen you around at YAAPS. You sound very busy, as always. I hope you’re all on the mend. I am concerned about all of you and your various bouts of the bug. Sorry if TMI, but if you’ve ever considered a regular herbal regime for the parasitos, I can send you a link for an excellent herbalist. He lives in Mississippi and knows about the risks of living in tropical climates. Happily does international orders. Very good, inexpensive formulas for adults and kids. I take them 3 times a year and feel much better for it.

Your schooling updates are exciting, BTW. I admire the freedom you’ve given your kids to develop at their own pace.

Yes, clean out the water dispenser. Chlorine and water in it every week, soak, open all things that open, rinse with bottled water. Also, chlorine and water or hydrogen peroxide and vinegar all cutting and food prep surfaces. We live in a nice warm petri dish!

Hope all the health things gets better and good thoughts to Jaime’s family.

Hugs, Jonna

@Jody – you are my ROCK, woman. Does Bill know what a treasure you are?

@Chris – would that be your professional opinion, Doctor?

@lazybeacher – thank you so much! We’re planning on heading north in September so I hope we’re here long enough to meet you.

Really missed your blog. Glad you are writing again. Hope the family health improves.
We will be in Playa in Sept. and I am planning to come find you and meet your family! I have so much enjoyed your stories about ordinary life in an unordinary place. My sister inlaw and I will be coming without the boys. Heaven for us is the beach. Can not wait and hope I will be able to find you. Blessings to your health improvement.

Yeah, okay. As long as NOTHING is going on. Geez! Seems like PLENTY to me. I’m hoping your head and Jaime’s butt are fine. There’s a joke in there somewhere, but my mind isn’t nimble enough to find it. Thanks for the update. We’re thinking of you and hope to hear good (negative) news soon. Lots of love, Christina

Love the nekkid beach story. Vida paraiso!! (is this correct?)

As for the MRI…here’s hoping all is negative for both you and Jamie. I went through that last month on my thorasic area. All was clear, WHEW, and we still don’t know what is wrong. So I am running, and running, and losing weight (on purpose) and hoping that getting my flabby butt into shape will make the issue go away. So far it isn’t working, but it’s my theory and I’m stickin’ to it.

Positive thoughts and prayers for Jamies family.
