Technique Tuesday!
Like I told you yesterday, I can’t complete this wrap until the album itself if finished, since I don’t know how thick it’s going to end up being. So what I did was to cut a piece of base fabric several inches longer than the current width of the entire album when it is […]
Last year my family and I took a wonderful trip to Guatemala to see where Nate, our son/brother had been living and working. We visited the orphanage where he was the schoolmaster and electronics fix-it guy. As it happened, Nate fell in love while he was there, with one of the daughters of the directors, […]
I’m so excited! I had two pictures chosen to be included in the premiere issue of Life Images, and now another of my photos has been chosen for the second issue. This is one that I took when we were visiting my son in Guatemala.
The next deadline is coming up in March, so think […]
Day 6: Sunday,01/07/07
Dani spent some time sketching out in front of the hotel while we waited for our morning pick-up. This morning we were going to eat breakfast out at the house and then go to church with them in the center park square of Santiago. Tom and Susan tried to find an established church […]
At the hotel, we picked up our ice cream and headed back to the house to stow it away for dessert. The kids were outside playing games—Susan likes to have them get out of the house every afternoon that the weather makes it possible!—so it was pretty easy to sneak it inside with the unexciting […]
Day 5: Saturday, 01/06/07
Tom’s birthday!
We woke up early again, this time to the loud sounds of an animal scratching in the roof of our cabin. We poked around, but couldn’t find it or get it to stop, so we gave up and got up! Mike went out in the yard to wait for Dani and […]
Still Day 4: Friday, 01/05/07
Out to the house, finally! The kids are in the middle of game time, so we join in.
Dodgeball, or Matado
I did a little bit more work on the school books with help from Gladys, but supper still came way too soon. Tom and Noe hadn’t yet returned from a trip […]
Day 4: Friday, 01/05/07
There were earthquake tremors overnight!
I woke up really early again, and this time Mike joined me going down to the lakefront. We met Salvador, one of the grounds-keepers, and Mike practiced his Spanish on him. I think he did pretty well too!
We ate breakfast at the hotel again. Dani and I both […]
Day 3: Thursday, 01/04/07
I woke up very early and went across the road and down to the waterfront to enjoy the quiet and solitude. Not many people at the hotel seemed to use the waterfront area, which was a shame since it was so beautifully kept. There was a pool and jacuzi, multiple tiers of […]
Still Day 2: Wednesday, 01/03/07
When we returned from the hike up the volcano, lunch was already waiting for us. Susan had fixed her own version of chicken and broccoli alfredo, which was really good. As usual, there was fruit too, and afterwards Tom read another chapter. The kids all call him Pappa or Poppi, by […]
