Update Nov. 2022

Well not much going on fun with me lately. Still healing up, my legs are covered with skin again and my back/ribs are sure taking their time getting better. Did some MRI’s the other day and even one biopsy. Gee whiz I have a small patch of skin cancer and surgery on Tuesday. Like I said not much fun. Just as in the USA the family here is putting up with me. They are feeding me even though I don’t do much work around the place. Thank God for that, it is against the rules. I have been blessed in both countries. Still waiting on my visa renewal, hopefully it will be done soon. If not what’s next?

On a good note, actually the best note. El made it home safe and healthy. I am so happy for the new parents!

Here, the family took me along to a local wedding. That means I got to wear the suit bought for the California wedding I didn’t make it to. Daniela took me out for my first short hike in the national park. It was nice to get out in nature. We were going to go fishing at a local lake but, it being a holiday it was too busy. Instead, we stopped at a local fishery on the way home and caught 6 trout for dinner. Later in the week to celebrate the day of the dead, the family had a get together to make baby bread. A huge tradition.

The plan is to spend Christmas in the USA this year. That will be fun. So, I may get to see some of you soon. Daniela is planning to come along during her break. She has never been to the west coast or Midwest so there is a lot she would like to see. I am looking forward to introducing her to everyone and showing here some of my favorite areas in the country that I love. She has taken the time to show me so much of Ecuador it will be nice to return the favor.

Have a very Happy Thanksgiving !!!!!!!!

Ya’all take care now, ya hear!

The most exciting thing that happened lately is that El made it home!!!

Proud fisher girl. The first fish caught she jerked it out so fast it hit me.
