What's new Thursday?

Margo.....I get the small bottle from WalMart so it isn't as much as it sounds like. I forgot that there is a large bottle. Sorry for that.

I am so glad that you are soon going to be home too. I am sorry that it wasn't what you were hoping for but it just wasn't meant to be. When the right things come along you will know it. Just keep searching and God will point you to it. I know that  for sure!

I was watching House Hunters International last night and a couple moved from Pennsylvania to Panama and just loved it. I thought of you while the whole show was on. I guess it just depends on the person just like everything else in life. Not everything is perfect for everyone......that is what makes the world go around I guess.

I am sending love and hugs to you and prayers for a safe trip home.

brenda--the folks on that show probly bought in one of the much pricier areas ..that makes a big difference..and those folks areiving up the costs in the less pricey areas---i am sure they had mucho bucks!!! and maybelived around panama city?

we looked at houses the other day with a realtor- 1 for 68k, 72k and 100k..didn't bother with anything above 100k.....i could manage with the 72 k and the 100 k was much nicer-tiled floors as opposed to painted concrete--but there is so much more.....

we know what we want and it will be the big island...michael was blinded by the low cost of living and forgot how much he loved home- i felt the love and the "at home feeling" immediately when we were tehre--he just needed to be not so gently reminded...i was trying to make this work--it's not for us-well, me.

The house they chose on House Hunters was an hour and a half from Panama City, and ran between $250,000 and $300,000.  Other choices were closer to the city, but ran up to $350,000.

Beautiful homes, but the idea of going there for a more comfortable retirement must mean something different to them than to me.  There's got to be some room in my budget for the simple things.  Like food.....

It's beautiful there, though.

Sigh.....

Candy

candy-those types of homes are gorgeous-and overpriced!
we are staying in a much lower classed area-and much is still 3rd world here!!!!!!!!!!!!

i agree...food and the ability to fly home to family are tops on my list-and health care....

we met a really arrogant rude SOB last nite at dinner...ughhh...american who is here as a real estate developer-he is one who is driving up the prices for everyone else....

tho you would love the flowers here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

brenda...when i buy melons i set them out on counter for a couple days or so and turn them every few hours and the ripen nice and sweet...most of the time that is...lol

Brenda...sweetie.....a cantalope will not ripen IN THE FRIGE! You must leave it out for it to ripen. I learned that lesson the hard....like you.

Aloha nui loa,

Brenda, the cantalope will never ripen in the refrigerator.....leave it on your counter for a few days and it will be nice and ripe.
