Welllll, here we are... October 9th, 2017.  How is it that, as we get older, the years fly by faster?  It'd be fair to say, I've never experienced this kind of time-travel before!  But, none-the-less and n'er the more... here we are.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone.  We truly hope all your dreams are coming true (or at least taking shape), that all your wishes DO come true, and that you are able to keep living each day as the new marvel it is.

We, Kathy and I, have had a wonderful summer... filled with friends, old and new, and time to visit family.  The extra two months have really helped us to better enjoy our new home and the wonderful location we chose to set down our roots.  We are, of course, now in the planning stages for our return to Mexico.  It will be different... this year being our last season in the Sea.  And/but we will do the best we can to enjoy every minute, before returning our little ship home on a freighter... sometime early next summer.

As well....  having finished 'the fence'.... 'the book' is finally taking shape.  Women in Blue is actually starting to look like something a reader, or lover of history, or supporter of women in policing.. might actually like to read one day.  Stay tuned for more on that front.

For now, know we are thinking of you and all the folks in our life.. and wishing you the very best on this Monday, Oct. 9th, our Canadian Thanksgiving Day.

We will check in again once we're closer to arriving in Mexico.. let you know how the airplane trip (with two duffle bags, two computer bags, and two cardboard boxes :-) went.  SSpirit is apparently well and waiting patiently for our return.

Bye for now.. enjoy your turkey dinner... and stay well.

CJ and Kathy
