Wednesday March 27/13  update #405

Bella was off for her Wednesday bridge games.   I hope people are supporting all the work she is doing to promote bridge in Cuenca.  She is again offering bridge lessons for beginners next month.  

She has also crocheted the cutest giraffe doll presumably for the Charity work they are doing for kids at the Weaving Store.

I have spent most of the day on the computer, emails, uploading photos and blogs, then getting into all the work required for Hearts Of Gold on the admin side.  The donations are increasing and I want to thank everyone who is supporting us.   The work HoG does is worth your support.

I only slipped out for a few moments to try to find some strapping to hold my tripod to my camera bag.  After stopping at a couple of ferreterias and Coral I finally stopped at my seamstress who suggested a shoemaker…  Brilliant idea!!  I found a seamstress/shoemaker in the next block and they made them up as I waited.   They are so good with their hands here.

I walked back along the river and finally noticed that something had been missing for a long while.  All the car/bus wash outfits are gone from the riverbank and they have planted trees and updated the walkway.  I really haven’t walked that way in a quite a while but it is obvious they have been gone for a long time.

I am trying to get a better connection on our NetTalk.  It is possible that just unplugging it to get all the details off the device may have cured most of the ills.  Anybody on the other end was always complaining that our voices were always cutting out.

That was today’s excitement.   Hugs to all.  Please see all new photos at http://souvenircuenca.blogspot.com/
