The adoption clock is ticking. The Power of Attorney for Ana (Evelyn) has arrived in Guatemala. Now, the 6 month wait is starting although, Ana may already have a number of things done since she has visited the United States. We miss her and hope the wait is not too long. I need to go over the things to bring for the final trip and put them all together including the passports and copies of the passports. No Visa is required for Guatemala if the stay is less than 90 days. Nancy has stipulated that no packages are to be sent. Hand carry only. Legal documents are the only thing that can be sent without incurring customs and duty charges. I need to send Sue a copy of the standard Notary language that is required on legal documents in Santa Clara County. The Power of Attorney that Nancy sent was not acceptable to either the Notary or the Santa Clara County Clerk's Office. Good thing I noticed that or there would have been even more delay. I found out the hard way that the Guatemalan Embassy in San Francisco is only open from 9:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M.
Russ seems to be doing OK. I need to call him and the family. Mom is still taking Nana's medication and her primary care physician has threatened to quit. Donna and Keith have birthdays this month. I need to get cards.
Lisa and I have decided on the birth date and name for Ana on her U.S. birth certificate. We'll have to find out the reqirements for that.
Check out Quickbooks for Customer Mailing Lists and UPS shipping. Since Ebay is so lousy maybe we can do everything out of Quickbooks to save a lot of effort.
Need to worm the horses and order worming and Frontline for dogs. Other than that, not much else except the back yard project. Need a pry bar. Crepe Mertle trees along the back fence would be nice. The apple trees are a royal pain in the butt. I would prefer some type of evergreen for year round blockage of sun and lights from the house behind us.
