Hi friends, have'nt departed for Bogota yet. Finishing end of year tasks that should have been completed months ago. We started a small remodel job in our 3 year old home early December . Took out a wall between den and living room. Small job, estimated to be one week. We are in the third week? Labor and materal problems. I won't bore you. Getting close, however. I will try to publish pictures of work in progress.

OK, leaving next Tuesday, 12/21. It will be Christmas in Bogota, New Years celebration in Annapoima, Colombia. Nathan and Jackie will be joining family in Annapoima for Fernando's usual New Years eve extravaganza!! We are thrilled. It will be for Jackie, as close as she can get to her native Belo Horizonte, Brazil, this holiday, as they must return to NYC, shortly after New Years.
