Hi, you’re missing all the fun here. Teresa’s here and she, Cynthia and Laura came down to set up tables, wipe down chairs, and today will put on table cloths, etc. at Linda’s. They came here with Greek Chicken so we had it for supper and had a slumber party. I finally finished my genealogy papers so will get them in plastic folders today. Working on the computer has made me learn a lot and practice what I had learned in classes. We are all anxious to get your new Blog from Cuzco, and to know you made it there. I think your tales could be sold to a travel magazine. We miss you but we know you are having a great experience of a life time. All is well here. Troy is with his parents. His dad is having back pains. I hope they are well enough to come Sun. I think it will be fun. Love, and XXXOOO Meemo

I get up - take a pill - eat - more pills - then it’s time to look for a letter from you. I check about every three hours. It’s about midnight here and I will check again. The needle job went well. I watered a bit at late evening. Nothing else new. Just wanted you to know I’m thinking of you. A LOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love Grams and G.

Thanks for your very descriptive entry. I cannot believe everything you have experienced in eighteen days. It sounds like the floating islands were a little fake in their catering to the tourists, but I am glad you have bonded with a wonderful group of new friends. I can’t wait to hear about Cuzco. I read that its population has tripled in the last twenty years. I do know that tourism is important to Cuzco too…. but you’ll have more of an opportunity to choose what you want to do, and you, hopefully, won’t get trapped into awkward situations. I love you Darcy!!! Be careful….and keep writing!!! Mom

Boy, it sure was good to see that letter show up tonight. Some of your experiences at the islands seemed a little spooky. Sure glad you thought better about cutting that baby’s hair or you would have been in deep stuff with having no money to pay them. I am a little wiped out because I have been outside watering and doing some raking just like I thought I was 20 again or something. The yard looks so good to me that when I am out there I just start thinking I can do anything. It was pretty hot today. The air-conditioner is on for the first time. If I had of stayed in the house I probably wouldn’t need it. I am going for a needle job tomorrow. Mom and Lu will pick me up at 1 or 1:30 and taking me down the street, then they will go on home and come later and pick me up. I hope it gives my body some new strength. B and Devon leave Friday for a short Mexican cruise. Lona will be doing over the line. The valley is still quiet. M and M are down at Marla’s for a few days. Hope your ride to Cuzco is a happy and easy one. I think of you OFTEN. Love and good Karma or ? G and G TAKE CARE ! Hi to Mama Cass.

Darcy,
I know what you mean about “awkward” in that situation. It is hard to know whether or not you will offend someone by not participating in their so-called customs. This afternoon Laura and I went to the cemetery and after she got her flowers out I landscaped the area around Dad’s grave. It was hot here today so nobody was moving too quick. Tom Darche wanted to bike ride to Borrego today but I played sissy on that one. Hope Cuzco floats your boat.
Love, Dad

Hi Darcy, WOW what an adventure. This is so great to hear all your travels. You are so out going and making the best of all your experiences. Your true calling is writting. Your trip sounds so fun and a little crazy. Bruce left for boot camp on the 4th and probally wishes he were in your shoes. We wish you well and a safe journey. Can’t wait to hear your next exploit. The energy you thought you might find at the temple was no doubt a sign that you already have the great spirits with you and you need not worry for you have the energy of DARCY. With Love, Denise, Ed & Boys
