CareForce 2019
I spent two LONG days working with CareForce once again. Last year I worked in the reception area, welcoming and triaging clients where I enjoyed engaging with everyone who walked in. This year I asked the volunteer director where the biggest need was and she said, “We always need people in the sterilization station” so I completed the necessary ( Read more... ) -
Senior Camp 2019
What a wonderful time was had by ME! Gah, I didn't know how desperate I was to get away until I was ... away. The highlight was these three women. They adopted me for the week. Louise (who is a young 87-year-old) and Chris are both New Yorkers. What a hoot they are together. The three of them met at a Zumba class eight years ago still hang out ( Read more... ) -
Retalhuleu Guatemala - Terminado
Received an email last night from our Team Leader regarding our work with Habitat for Humanity last year. The two houses I worked on in Guatemala are completed and the families have moved in.
Generally, this is how we left the place minus the rebar and poured concrete which was completed on our last days. I was unable to find that photo.

Dancing and prancing
We went Contra Dancing last night, the first time in like … six months? No particular reason why it’s been so long, just when 8 PM rolls around I’m often in my jammies and the thought of putting on real clothes keeps both of us home. We settle into our routines so quickly, don’t we ( Read more... ) -
Art and dying
I finally finished this yesterday. The other drawings I did were perspectively flat and this one was not, therefore, needing some skill in positioning lines. I had a photo to work off of, I can't come up with this stuff in my head, but what I didn't do was framing the houses with pencil before I applied the ink, giving me straighter lines. Oh well ( Read more... ) -
Chico and Paradise
Ky and I drove to Chico yesterday and picked up flying_blind and visited numerous local animal shelters, hoping that we may find one if not more of his missing cats, lost in the Camp Fire in Paradise CA. No such luck, though. At the first shelter, we were greeted by a very patient and helpful staff member, Julie, who then researched each cat that Joe thought ( Read more... ) -
10 years after a relationship update
The 10 year thing was fun to glance through, first thing I noticed was all the comments and how many of those friends are no longer here. I felt invested in their lives and now ... gone ( Read more... )
