Poking In...

To say hello. Again with the hectic life. But after reading through the comments on my last post (yes, yes from over a month ago) I realized (again) how incredibly fortunate I am to be a part of such a loving community. Let me be clear - this was not the first time I've read through the comments...just the first time today. Warm + fuzzy, they're really freaking sweet.

Plus I found out during Christmas that I'm related to a few readers of this here ol' humble blog (hi uncle Bob!). Virtual love and a virtual hello, two excellent reasons to pop in. My time has been spent fighting a cold and the winter blues that tend to come with the rain and chilly weather. I'm keeping my mind distracted through my everlasting love for words, and lately - it's been through a series books written in the magical realism style of story telling (Isabel Allende and Gabriel Garcia Marquez).

 

A bibliophile I certainly am, but I recognize the need for a creative outlet. So, until I am able to pick up the string again....photography it will be. And to you, my pretties, I'll need to request some patience while I slowly climb back on to the horse. Although there's really no need to ask, now is there? Especially since...well, you know....you've already been so patient.

ooh some good reading sounds wonderful.
nice to see you popping in. I was thinking of you today when I saw that cute fabric somewhere online - the same one you used in the bib you made for Astrid. We still use everything you sent you know!

Yay! I just stopped by your blog the other day even though I knew you hadn't posted...just in case. Glad you are ok.

Yay! Welcome back :) Happy New Year, hope this rainy weekend doesn't get you down!

Happy New Year! We do miss your lovely posts but take your time. Hey if you love Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Isabel... You should also try Jorge Amado--he wrote Dona Flor and her Two Husbands and Cinnamon.

If you have read Isabel Allende's latest book drop me a line and tell me how you liked it. I picked it up but was not sure:)

Anyhow, take good care my dear! Hasta Luego.

Well, if you're ever down here and need an excuse to escape and de-stress, I will be more than happy to be your temptress and engage in all sorts of debauchery. :)

Hurray for magical realism! I love it. I actually took a class in college called Contemporary Latin American Narrative where we studied such wonderful stuff.
