Thursday April 5,2012


Thursday Apr 5/12 update
Thank you to everyone for the heartfelt condolence emails in the loss of our Stepdad yesterday.  They are greatly appreciated by all the family.
My back pain has subsided considerably after I vacated my bed at 3am and came down to lie on the couch.  I am reasonably mobile so I will try to get by without any medication and try not to do any sudden moves.
Bella was up early, busy baking, before leaving to show Bettye and Chris the ropes at the 10 De Augusto Mercado.  She will pass along all the tips she got when she did a market tour a while back.  Apparently Chris does the cooking so he needed to be included in this tour.  
Then they returned here for a quick lunch and bella shoed them how to make a healthy Kefir drink with a continuously renewing kit.  It tastes like iced tea so they were impressed. 
We all caught the #15 to show them the quiet in El Valle to the south.  The weather was threatening so we rode to the end of the line then walked down the mountain about 3 stops before catching the bus back.  I still love the wonderful silence in El Valle.
On arrival home I could hear the distinctive chirp of the hummingbird so we located him on a nearby wire.  After Bettye and Chris caught a cab home with Bella’s care package I stood by a hibiscus tree outside our door, camera in hand, and was rewarded with a quick visit by our little feathered friend.
Enjoy the pics.    That was today’s excitement.  Hugs to all.
