We’ve done an about face recently.
We have come to the conclusion that where we live now, in our beautiful apartment, in the neighborhood we are in, is to be our forever home; not in Veracruz, as we had thought.
We have come to a parting of the ways with our friends, the Garcia’s, so it seems anyway. They say everything is ok, but their actions have proven otherwise.
Personally, I feel we have tried to bring them into the 21st century too quickly. We have upgraded their lives beyond their comfort zones.
We have tried to educate them beyond what would be comfortable for them alongside their families.
I never thought I would be a part of such a rejection of all things made to better ones life, or the lives of their children, and extended families. However, we are not here to judge them, nor be judged by them.
Now that that has all been mourned over, we have gotten on with our lives, and are starting to retake our apartment. We have packed up all of their things, put them in the portable stroller we bought them, plus a large tote, and will ask them to come down, and take it all upstairs. Where they will put it all is no longer our concern.
Also, as they are using our storage space on the roof, they will need to clean that out as well. We will move the plethora of extra “things” we had bought, to take to the other house, up into the storage unit. It will free up so much room in here that we will be able to live normally again.
After 3 years in this apartment, we were so excited to get space under the bed again. I can’t imagine how beautiful this apartment will be when we get all of the totes out of here. I’ll keep you apprised.
Next post I’m going to show you the “gardening” I’ve been doing. So much nicer than it was.
I LOVE SPRINGTIME.
Until next time, stay happy, healthy, and safe. Wash, cover, and protect yourselves. Stay vigilant.
Important update: Jesús, and Liz have come down, and collected all of their stuff, but insist that we all remain friends. They even asked us to go to Los Altos with them when they go again. Can’t wait. So, all is well here.
Plus, we have half of the living room open, without “junk”. Yay. Win-win.
