We have had three wonderful pieces of news this week:
1 Andy and Sue Galliano, our friends from Grand Isle, are flying up to Detroit to take our 5th wheel down there for us. This solves one of our logistical problems.
2 We have sold the house. We close on 22 August and will begin our sailing journey south on 23 August.
3 In our last post there was a comment as to Amanda and Julius being in the Detroit area for a little R&R. Well, it must have been successful. They are due with there first baby in April of 09. Unfortunately Julius will be deployed with the Army at that time. There are, however, discussions of her sister hosting her in the Seattle area for the birth. Army hospitals and what not.
The sale of the house is a rather melancholy event. We love it here but it just doesn't fit into the plan anymore. We will be leaving lots of great friends but we now have opportunities to meet many new ones. It is a corner piece in the puzzle of our life at this point. Now all we have left to finish in the puzzle is the sky. The pieces are all there, we just will have to fit them together. More on that on the next post.

About Us
- Rob and Jude
- Wasilla, Alaska
- In 2005, Jude and I retired after teaching for 33 years in Corunna, Michigan. Upon retirement our plan was to summer at our cottage in northern Ontario and winter in our RV south. In March of 2006 I got stupid and decided to apply for a teaching job in Alaska. Be careful of what you wish for. I taught math and science at an alternative high school in Sitka, Alaska, for a year. I then remembered why I retired the first time. From now on any job I take will last 30 days or less! We have since sold the cottage in Bruce Mines, ON, Canada, moved the boat and RV to Grand Isle, LA, and bought a new stick house in Wasilla, AK. Life is good.
