    Dear Lee,
    Wow ! What a frightful experience and so glad that both you and Bailey survived the water experience. I love reading your journeys and continue to forward them to my stepdaughter, Jadie; my son and sisters. Jadie’s kids are now 13 and 16 ; and she is determined to do what you are doing after they leave home. Bill and I went back East for 2 wks; visited all of my family in Miami then headed to Stuart to be with my son for a few days and then to Peachtree City, Ga. We are moving back to Ga probably the end of Oct and while in Ga we put our rental house up for sale and bought back our old 2 bedroom, 2 bath on a golf course in Peachtree City. It has been 20 yrs that we have lived out our dream on Bonanza Rd, but made the decision to sell this home and be closer to family, airport and medical care. Now for the next journey and adventure. I will trade in my Ranger and ATV for a golf cart which kinda sounds boring. God has opened many doors for us during this process of letting go. Take care of yourself, enjoy the moment and keep writing and taking pictures for so many to enjoy. Love, hugs and blessings, Carol

    Carol,
    Always so nice to hear from you! Thank you for passing along my stories- I love hearing that I’m inspiring some people. Please tell Jadie to reach out to me directly if she has any questions. :)
    I’m so sad to hear you’re leaving Bonanza Road!! We’re really going to miss you… has it really been 20 years in the Valley? I do like the sound of trading in an ATV for a golf cart and cold weather for warm weather, though… plus, changing scenery is something I whole heartedly encourage.
    I hope to see you in August or September when I’m back at the ranch; I’d love to catch up and hear all about your year of change.
    Thanks (as always) for your wonderful updates and notes! :)
    xo
    Lee

    What an incredible story of heroism! You never cease to amaze me with your adventures. Thank God you are strong and, was able to react with such clarity and intention. Your homeowners are blessed to have you, as are their pets.

      Oh, thanks, Janet! That is too kind… :) I think the adrenaline took over on the heroism part, but I’ll still take the compliment! xoxo
