"Thank you, Judy King, for the great Seminar yesterday at the Swan Inn. I couldn't believe how much information was presented, stuff I didn't know. The slides Teresa Kendrick showed were beautiful, as was Karen Blue's presentation. Your stories and the answers to our questions were so helpful, and the two and a half hours went very fast. Thanks also for the notebook with the many topics of interest and also the discount cards for many local businesses and restaurants, also for the super goody-bag at the end of the program. And I guess what I appreciate most were the friends I made, the people I met. Thank you so much."     Peggy Sanders, Ajijic

"Karen writes with a down-to-earth style that clearly depicts the women she's interviewed and the lives they lead.

"I made the mistake of thinking I could read just a "tiny" bit and then save the rest. Well I couldn't put it down! I love the whole thing and I think it gives a much clearer perspective to anyone who reads it, male or female, about living in Mexico."     Ruth Hill
