Signed, Sealed and Delivered

{WordPress is acting funny. Anyone else having a problem?} A few reasons I am grateful this week: – Time away with friends to recharge has left me invigorated and ready for change. – Tri training is going exceptionally well. I am feeling stronger every day...

Sewin’ Mama

Remember this wall quilt? I took a photo of it when visiting my folks in San Antonio during Easter. My mom initially made this Colorado scene as a center for a quilt for my brother. Once completed, she realized: A. It was too delicate for a boy quilt. B. My brother...

Happy? Check.

I am home from Colorado and loving life. Remember my list? My silly, pent-up, can’t-relax-to-go-on-vacation list? Yep. I went on vacay and accomplished my goals, minus the discipline part. My running shoes remained in the suitcase and a margarita remained in my...

The Food Fascinates Me

Fish and oil are a meal. Just add fire. I’ve been going through my photos of Bolivia and about 80% have something to do with food. I think my love of cooking and eating has taken over my trigger finger. This could also explain why once again I came home with...

Working With the Guarani

A few photos of the housing project we are beginning with the Guarani people of Bolivia. They are one more than 30 indigenous groups in this South American country. Their story is much like that of indigenous people internationally; they have been marginalized, forced...
