It has been so long since I have posted. It has been so long that I seem to have forgotten my voice. Which person blogged here? Is she still around? Does she still think the same way? View the world with the same eyes? Or has life thrown a few curve balls and caused her perspective to change?
Me. Yes. No. Only one of them. And Yes.
I haven't posted a thing here since 2012. Holy Mackerel Andy! That is a lifetime! Since then, I have closed the yarn shop. My dad passed peacefully, at home, surrounded by his children and grandchildren. Hijo Primero graduated from college with a degree in Bio-Chemical Engineering (where in the hell those brains came from I will never know). Hijo Segundo graduated from college with a BA in Political Science (Magna Cum Laude, again with the brains). Hija Primera is living in New Hampshire with her husband and son. The BF has retired from the Air Force after reaching the rank of Chief Master Sergeant. And Hija Segunda is living with her dad and I in...and this is the Crazy part of the Life is Crazy...Ecuador!
Yes. We have kicked everything we knew to the curb, packed a few belongings, bid farewell to our friends and family and left the country! We bought a guesthouse, Casita Las Mareas on the Pacific coast, in the province of Manabi' in the village of San Jacinto. It doesn't keep us very busy. Life is simple. Life here is idyllic. It is still so new.
There are days that I feel as if I live in a movie. The sun is shining, the waves are out there - in my front yard no less - doing what waves do and making the most peaceful background noise, the locals are playing their music that makes me want to dance and life is unbelievable.
Me. Yes. No. Only one of them. And Yes.

I do miss my friends and my family that we left behind. There are days that I miss them terribly. But, the show must go on and life must be lived - even if it seems crazy at times.
I hope I can keep coming back and put new life into this little corner of my world. Maybe it can keep me sane. Or maybe I can just get back to sharing the insanity as it happens. Who knows. Who really cares?
