Tuesday May 29/12 update
Happy 96th Birthday MOM !!! You are an inspiration.
I am up very early this morning, doing laundry and watching
a little excitement across the street.
At first I thought the lady said something about a child and various
neighbors stopped to help but nobody went anywhere. Finally an ambulance from the hospital 2
blocks away showed up and they eventually hauled off a person, followed by the
woman and a couple of friends. That
older couple is usually up early and they drive the grandchildren to
school. I strongly suspect the husband
has had a stroke or something. We all
need to count our blessings every day.
I called Chris to see if he wanted to meet me at a children’s
concert at 10am at the Museum
Of Modern Art in San Sebastian Square. He was downtown, so yes, he would meet me,
but he had to leave early for a Spanish class at 11am then a raw cooking
class. We both showed up at the same
time and the concert started a hair late so Chris only got to see about 3 songs
out of about 16. The concert ran until
12:30. There was this cute little girl
next to me with her grandma who was playing shy, but once she saw her picture
she was always watching to see if I would point the camera at her again. Naturally the lady standing next to me had a
daughter in one of the eleven groups so I got a shot of the two of them as
well.
The concert was in recognition of International Children’s
Day. There were no major surprises, just
typical kids, but there were some nice moments of solos, motions and
actions. The special needs kids were
touching.
Then I checked out San
Sebastian Square and a few shops on the way to El Centro. Beside Immaculate Conception there was a
singer who appeared blind and had an amazing vocal talent. He was mesmerizing.
I found nice hardware/appliance shop called Almacenes Ochoa
and I poked around for a bit. I spotted
some nice switchblades so I got myself a dandy for only $5.
As I was passing Parque Calderon I was hailed by a couple of
ladies who turned out to be from Kelowna. I gave them a few pointers on the best places
to eat and made certain they would be sure to see Turi. I gave them my new business card so they
would be sure to check out my other blog for information too.
Oh, and Bella still has not collected from the alapaca lady
for the crochet hooks we got her. We
are still batting 0 on extending credit to Ecuadorians.
And to all our faithful readers, we want to sincerely thank
you for the encouragement to continue with this daily blog. Your little notes of appreciation make all
the work worthwhile.
Enjoy the pics and videos.
That was today’s excitement.
Hugs to all.
