Not in the Peace Corps yet but on the road to getting there. Susan has completed her medical material but almost a month after she was sent material to fill in some blanks on her medical profile I received a call from the medical review person for my medical profile only to learn there were some blanks in mine also. This week I have two more medical tests to complete and then both our profiles should be complete. From what we understand, if in fact they are complete, our application along with these medical records will proceed to the next stage of matching us with a program.

Meanwhile we have found someone to take care of our house while we are in the PC. One of the problems of volunteering at our age is you have possessions preventing you from just getting up and leaving. As luck would have it, Susan's daughter and son-in-law need a place to live while he attends law school. The challenge here is the fact that law school starts next week and most likely we will not leave the country in the PC until the beginning of next year. So as of last week we have become what we call homeless but not shelter less as friends are taking us in. Just before Labor Day we will be heading to Mackinaw City for much of the fall to work with the Great Lakes Lighthouse Keepers Association. Trading shelter for work.

But stay tuned as we wait to hear from PC.
