Dear friends and family ...

July 20, 2004 Dear friends and family, Well it's been a long time since I've written. A lot has happened, especially recently. Now that I've got you all to agree that the best course was not to rebuild the house because of the effort involved ... we've taken the lot off the market, and contacted the builder and told him that the rebuild is back on. When I first learned I had cancer and that it was fairly serious, I quickly decided (like it took 15 minutes ... over a marguerita) that I couldn't cope with dying and building a house too. Hence the first decision. But something still didn't seem right and I was depressed. Then it suddenly hit me a few days ago ... I had basically warehoused myself because I "had no future". Well, I really don't know that. Who knows? I might be around for quite a while So I started looking at floor plans. Basically what we'd told the contractor is that we want a house that has all the features that someone might want in a house of a certain size and price. The house we were going to build was fine for us, but most other peoiple wouldn't have touched it with a ten-foot pole. I've seen a plan that I really like ... the downstairs is 95% like John and Sharon's. We've sent the contractor a list of requirements and we'll see what he comes up with. I figure I'll pick out flooring, counters, appliances, and maybe that's all. We'll leave all the little stuff like roof, windows, exterior, etc. up to the contractor. I think it is human nature to plan for the future. And now I'm back in that mode. When the house is complete, if my health permits, we'll move in; otherwise we'll sell it. But we'll just take one thing at a time.
Ta-ta for now,
