Hope you had a really smooth and safe flight. Well, we are just about wrapped up with things here. The house is empty and needs to be cleaned, so I will spend much of my day tomorrow slaving to do just that. We are now staying in the studio. Cramped, but it will do just fine for now. I am anxious to get on with my life in California. It will certainly be a new adventure that's for sure. I think I always was the kind of person to never stay in one place too long.

I sure am going to miss you. Your friendship has been a blessing to me. But we will stay in touch right? By the way, this is not the letter. I decided that I'd like to make a trade with you...a letter for a letter. Not to be sent until each one of us is done. I appreciate your literary style and your thinking mind. I'm always curious to know what's going on in your head, especially because it usually takes a while before getting an answer after I've asked a question. But you're a whole lot quicker now than you used to be. Is it a deal?

Have fun in the Phillipine Isles. Stay safe and listen to that still small voice of the Holy Spirit. He will always lead you the right way. Take care and don't forget about me. Drop me a line here and there so I know you're safe there. God bless you and keep you, cd
