Summer Has Arrived! – ¡El verano ha llegado!
Hello! Remember me? I know that it has been a while, but things are going well. We have been busy, but the school year has ended, and I am free again.
¡Hola! ¿Te acuerdas de mí? Sé que hace mucho tiempo que no escribo, pero todo nos va bien. Hemos estado muy ocupados, pero el año escolar terminó, y estoy libre de nuevo.
The last that you heard from me, I was in Rwanda. I was there visiting three schools with a group of teachers from the school where I teach and spending time with old friends. We had a wonderful trip.
Lo último que supiste de mí era que estaba en Ruanda. Estaba allí visitando tres escuelas con un grupo de profesores del colegio donde doy clases y pasando tiempo con viejos amigos. Nos divertimos muchísimo.
We even had the opportunity to visit the gorillas in the mist. It was the experience of a lifetime.
También tuvimos la oportunidad de visitar a los gorilas en la niebla. Fue una experiencia de la vida.
Big S and Little D are still with us. They are very special boys. I have never been told “I love you” so many times in my life. They tell me about fifty times a day. We have been busy visiting local attractions, hiking, reading books and playing.
El Gran S y el pequeño D aún están con nosotros. Son unos muchachos muy especiales. Jamás había escuchado la frase <<Te quiero>> tanto. Me los dicen por lo menos cincuenta veces al día. Hemos estado visitando las atracciones locales, caminando por las montañas, leyendo libros y jugando.
We have found time to make a few changes around the house, but I have not done a good job of documenting them. I will try to do a better job about posting this summer. This wasn’t one of the projects by the way. It’s just an adorable picture of a cat sleeping in a sink in my messy kitchen.
Hemos encontrado el tiempo para hacer unos cambios en la casa, pero no los he documentado bien. Intentaré hacerlo mejor este verano. Esta foto no es de uno de los proyectos. Es sólo una foto adorable de una gata durmiendo en el fregadero en mi cocina desordenada.
Happy Homemaking!
¡Espero que tus sueños caseros se cumplan!
I am a teacher, traveler, artist, writer, homemaker and a whole lot more. In January 2009, I bought the Cape of Dreams. It was the second house that I had ever owned, but it was the first that I bought by myself. I now live in the house with my husband Douglas, our dog Kahlua, and Crème de Menthe, the cat. Because, what life is complete without a little Kahlua and Cream? I love arts and crafts of all kinds, and I refinish furniture as well. We are slowly redoing our entire house. You can read about my projects on my blog www.CapeofDreams.com
I was just thinking about you yesterday, realizing it had been a long time, so it was so nice to see this post. Cats – aren’t they interesting creatures?
Thank you. It’s nice to be missed. I have missed all of my blogging friends as well. Hope you are doing well.
Yay! so glad to hear from you and that things are going well! the boys are awesome – they sound so sweet! love Crème in the sink 🙂
Crème and Ponche are slowly getting accustomed to having the boys around as well. Crème is ever the attention hog though. I couldn’t post without a picture of her.
Hi Jessica! Good to hear from you! It’s hard to write a blog when you have so much going on. Happy summer break–I hope you and your crew have a great summer!
Thanks. We have a lot planned. Hope your first summer of retirement is a good one!
What a busy and exciting life you have. Of course the boys love you. Jo @ Let’s Face the Music
It’s funny that you mention our busy and exciting life. When the boys first came to live with us, they used to ask to watch television all the time. Now their first question is “Where are we going today?” or “Can we go somewhere?” And usually the answer is yes!
That’s so awesome!!! What lucky boys to have you, and you to have them.
It’s so nice to read (very late because I’ve been very busy as well) that the boys are doing good!
