Mali’s new friends

Mali is not used to having other animals to play with, so coming here was a bit of a surprise for her, something to get used to. She doesn’t seem to know what to do about this puppy that just loves her, but she has taken a liking to Moishe Read more

Winter in Ecuador

It is a bit strange to be thinking Christmas when you step outside here.     This is what you see when you walk down the street in December. I love seeing the familiar plants here, reminding me of home and the garden I tried to have there. Not having a Read more

That lightbulb moment……

This year is almost finished and I am finished writing my book. Almost a year in making (although most of it in reality was written over many years in my journals), I now see beyond doubt the importance of this story and the possible impact it may have on many. Read more

It’s December

It seems impossible to realize it is December and Christmas is just around the corner. Thankfully, Christmas is not a bit deal here, as I have alway had a hard time with the season. It brings back feeling os uncertainty, quilt and abandonment. When the kids were small, it was Read more

The cycle of life

Yesterday was one of those perfect days, beautiful in every way, reminiscent of summer days spent in B.C. The kind of day spent on a beautiful beach til sunset, then a fire in the back yard enjoying the day to it’s fullest. We had many days like that while living Read more

Che was here…..

We had a lovely day, taking a much needed break from working on the book, which gets a bit heavy at times. There was a meeting here at Pakarinka, so it seemed a good opportunity to have an adventure in Otavalo, starting with lunch at our favourite Mexican restaurant. It Read more

Public service announcement

This morning was one of those that started at 6:00 am with a public service announcement over loud speaker. It is still going on, so I am so very grateful for the invention of iPods and headphones…… I had planned on an early morning going over stories just written for Read more

Life is a rainbow…..

On Sunday, we decided to go for a walk downtown, maybe grab a light lunch at Taco Bello and get some gelato (primo gelato @ $1.00/cone!!). We had done this walk on Thursday to get dog food and some groceries. But on that day we intended to take the bus Read more

Four furballs

The kittens are getting more active, their eyes have opened and aren’t they adorable????    They don’t like to be disturbed yet though preferring the warm comfort of their bed all tangled together. Still so tiny, but getting curious about the outside world when mama leaves. Where does mama go Read more

My morning companions

Wow!!! I have been here for two months now, very hard to believe so much time has passed me by.      These guys come to visit me each morning, unafraid to come in for the corn left up here to dry despite Mali being here as well. They have Read more
