GREAT FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS

As a bonus during our thirteen years here, we've made lots of wonderful friends, have had no ice storms, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes and we've lowered our personal dental expenses. I needed extensive dental work, which I priced in the US and Mexico. The US price was $6000.00 or more. I had the work done in Mexico, have been extremely pleased, and the total price was $1900.00. As the writer of a weekly newspaper health related column, I get a lot of feedback. The general consensus, from most people, is that the quality of dental work in Mexico is superior to the US. Vision care is also available at steep discounts from US prices.

SO, WHY ARE WE SELLING?
	My mother has passed on and we're no longer caregiving. I've been a freelance writer since 1982 and I'm a professional photographer and videographer. My profession, and our wanderlust, requires us to travel. You can Google Larry R. Miller to confirm who I am.
