My Complicated Relationship with Vallarta. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Living in Mexico is an exercise in letting go. We let go of everything to move here. Our 2500 square foot house on a quarter acre. My 24 chickens. 3 cats. Auntie Pam’s Country Store and closer proximity to kids. I gave up understanding what everything is in a grocery store. A backyard. A life that would not be manageable for the long run.

She was always the first one up usually.“Everyone is still asleep. Sammy and the boys were playing a game of Floating Sticks that Dr. Hansen taught Baby T for his levitation homework.
