Time Passes Much Too Quickly

Perhaps it is because we're older, perhaps it is because we're retired, but time passes extremely quickly these days. It has been a while since the last blog, so, it's time to attempt to catch up.

We've done a few excursions lately, a recent Saturday was spent in Azogues with John and Leeann. In the park, there's an interesting tree with the fence growing into it.

Iglesia San Francisco is being renovated.

The "smiley face" has been on Borrerro across from the Coffee Tree for a while.

These are new additions.

Someone had a birthday. There was a surprise party for me at weaving.

The celebration ended at Santa Lucia.

Dibacco's has a Resource Fair every month. Patricia exhibited with a large display. A group of us had dinner afterwards. The restaurant was quite good.

The orchid that I bought last year at Ecuagenera is blooming.

This is my birthday orchid.

The weather had been so cold and rainy that the Mickster needed to get away. We went to Guayaquil for the weekend. We had great Chinese food and McDonald's. There was lot's of sunshine and warm weather. On Saturday, we drove to Playas for lunch.

There's some new faces at weaving. This is Xu Juan, pronounced Joo-ar. I've knitted most of my life and have known many knitters. Juan is the best I've ever met! If you buy the yarn, she will make a sweater for $50. She had mine done in 5 days and it is exquisite. All she needs is a picture of the sweater you want and your measurements. She's sporting her first weaving project.

In addition to the side trips, weaving and the Coffee Tree continue to take a large part of our time. We've been to Uzhupud, Mick went on a fishing excursion, Corpus Cristi took place, and there have been several cookouts. I'll have more pictures soon. Time passes much too quickly.

Until next time,

Mick and Kathy
