Just a short note to let everyone know that I have returned. I will have more to write after I unwind, which will tell you “How I spent my summer vacation”.
It will take me a little while to get back into the swing of “Panama Living”, but I can tell you that I am glad to be home. While I had a wonderful time, it is always good to get back to the place where you hang your hat.
I would like to thank all that wrote emails and comments, while I have been absent. Your thoughts and kind comments are what makes this blog fun for me.
I feel like it has been an eternity since I left and I have several thoughts and observations that I will share with you, when I get unpacked (both bag wise and mind wise).
For now, please accept my thanks for not abandoning this site while I have been out of the country. Chiriquí Chatter will be back in full swing as fast as possible.

Hi Don,
I am glad you had a nice vacation.
I am so happy you are back.. I have checked and rechecked your site often hoping there was a post
Greetings,

Hi Mirethy.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. It is good to be back. I am in the process of reviewing email and am interested to see what has happened since I have been gone.
Welcome back. I happened to see you as a favorite link on someone’s blog and it was a reminder to me to check in.
Thanks for checking in Abe. I will be by your sites as soon as I get caught up.

Hi Berta. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
What you have pointed out is kind how my life has always gone. I never know if I am coming or going.
Welcome back Don. I’m headed your way tomorrow from PC. The new direct flight from Washington Dulles was great. A 4.5 hour flight instead of 8 is always a good thing. Glad you had a good vacation.
Hi Ron. Thanks for leaving a comment. It is good to be back.
Sounds like the Dulles flight is a big improvement.
Welcome back Don,
I am still looking forward to delivering that pumpkin, maybe in November…
