It is such a blessing having people come to the ranch to check in on us. As the rainy season progresses I would guess that there numbers will decrease. It has been a truly busy summer with company coming and going.

People come to talk about the Camino as in Spain or the other Camino our everyday journey. They come to talk about cancer and curing and healing. They come to talk about spirituality, religion, being a Catholic or being something else. They come to talk about gardening and farming, hunting and fishing.

I am always referencing my doctors, lawyers and Indian chiefs which is what I call the hyper talented group of people that supports me. We are heavy on doctors, good on lawyers and so far a little light on Indian chiefs. But yesterday a new visitor, Randall, showed up to fill us in on Native American spirituality so although not a chief he is an adopted member of the Lakota tribe. So, we are getting closer on that. Thanks Randall.

Then I heard from a little bird that we may receive a royal visit in the near future. One of my three Angels from Spain is putting together a plan to come. This is Anamaria, the Princess of Viana, the one and only. I will have to get out my sword and armor and shine them up as she knighted me Sir Felipe of Viana. I haven’t seen her for two years and she just got back from a year in Madrid so we will have plenty to catch up on.

I am a luck guy to be in such company. Sometimes it is a challenge to match their energy but I have fun trying. Thanks so much for everyone that has come this past season, it was wonderful. You keep me going and energized with our walking, talking and tapas.

Time to go as I have a full list of things to accomplish today. Light rain and overcast today, rapidly closing the door on summer here. The best to you all, love, Felipe.
