Hi dear readers, Our little adopted kitty "Bebe" inspired me to write this post. I noticed the little kitty who lives in our backyard is very alert about the beautiful and colorful birds flying from tree to tree in our garden. Every time the birds land in our trees they sing, and the kitty starts looking and planning how to get the yummy bird. This week I saw the little cat very alert about the birds but without success in capturing her lunch! But today around noon, our little cat finally conquered her mission, she had a beautiful yellow bird, she brought the unlucky bird to our door and with her best pose and showed us that her mission was accomplished with  pride and glory! Poor bird, glorious cat!  That's life, if we ignore the dangerous that surrounds us maybe someone get luck with our lack of care. If we don't pay attention to life maybe we will pay a huge price for our lack of responsibility. If we don't see the "signs" maybe we will  be lo...

Saving the napkin!

Hi dear readers, Since a long time, buying things in planet Venezuela is a challenge, but now we are facing the worst  time ever! Some time ago a friend mentioned that in the future, because of the lack of food, we will have to eat soap!!!! Ironically, I can't find my favorite soap!!! Another day a friend suggested me to cut the paper napkin in half, because is hard to find napkins too! So, in the afternoon we cut the napkins! WOW! What can I say? No comments, just trying my best in saving, cutting, stocking, all kind of things. Even with this situation, we are good, we always have food on the table thank God, for the soap, we started using hotel soap we brought from our trip to Hawaii years ago! Every time we travel we bring food, soap, and now the newest product in our list is the toilet paper! LOL It's ridiculous to have to buy toilet paper in another Country, but what can we do????? From almost 3 & 1/2 years ago until now we are having the same problems, even wit...

Anesthesia or a chill pill?

Dear friends readers! Long time without news from the planet Venezuela! I stopped writing because nothing changed, its the same things over and over again! But today I remembered that my son asked me why I stopped writing? He said he likes to read my blog! Well, this was a motivation for my empty drawer of ideas, so here I am trying to find something new in the "same things"! And then I  found it! I was thinking how the red community affects me after 3 years in this planet....... and the answer was a surprise!!! It doesn't affect me at all! WOW! Why?!?! After three years something good happens to you. Right now I am at the top of the adaptation process, I am totally adapted to the scenery, no matter what happens I can process very well and in a fast way, nothing regarding the "red planet" can affect me. So, did I take an anesthesia shot or a chill pill in the adaptation process? Did I change the way I see things? Did I not care anymore? Did I understand...

Hi dear readers, So long time without any news from the planet Venezuela! Sorry about that! I wasn't inspired, I was bored because nothing had changed so far, it's the same thing,.... daily!!!! But today I was looking some pictures that I took last week, and those pics inspired me to get up and write the news! I will begin talking about chickens! Last Sunday was "chicken day" at the grocery store next to our house, many, many people in line to buy chickens, the price was good, only 15.60 Bolivares/Kg  about 60Cents of dollar/Kg in the using black market exchange rate! That's why the grocery store was too crowded. I didn't buy any chicken because I can't stand to be in line for hours to buy chicken or sugar or cooking oil or toilet paper, or flour! No, I'm against any line, LOL! I buy chicken once a week without standing in a line, I call and I ask to prepare 5 or 6 entire chickens, it's fresh, and cost 36Bolivares/Kg, and then I drive to the ...
