Renewal

I feel like I am coming out of a bad time, finally. Bad things have been happening in my private life and in this area but I think it is calming down now. I feel renewed. Both my cameras are barely working so I bought a new one on e bay. It is being sent to my son's house in Portland. I will be up there in a few weeks to get it.

I have been writing for Accesslakechapala.com for nineteen months now. I use my middle name, Evelyn, on that site. I just wrote an article about being a housesitter and I put on some of my favorite dog and cat photos.  I love some of those photos. I think all of them have shown up a time or two on this blog. If you want to see it, just put in Accesslakechapala.com on google and when the site comes up, click at the top of the page on Blog. It will come up.

I still hear of people moving out of this area and just the other day I met a woman who is moving in, buying a house here. So, not everyone is leaving. I am hoping that the general feeling here will become more optimistic as time goes by.  When I get my new camera I hope to be taking more photos again. It is hard with cameras that don't work properly.

    1. Hi Steve, Good to hear from you again. Since I have Osteoporosis, my ankle is taking a loooong time to heal. Maybe it will never be back to normal. I haven't had the hardware removed for that reason. How is yours? P

  5. Hi Patricia,
    My class sent you a "muchas gracias" post a few days ago, but I didn't see it, so I wanted to make sure you know how much we appreciate you!
    They really enjoyed seeing your pictures and writing about them in Spanish! Maybe next year, too??

    1. Dear Mrs. H's Class. I thought I published your last comment. I answered it too but I am not at home. I am not using my own computer and I don't know how to use this one properly. I want to thank all of you for giving me so much pleasure with your e mails. Until next year. Patricia

    3. I thought I had published your e mail and I also responded but I am house sitting now and using another computer. I am not very good on this one. Looks like those e mails got lost. I really appreciate your comments. Until next year. Patricia

  7. Pat,
    Thank you so much for all your posts in the past few weeks. I was there in January and was very upset about the recent events. Your posts have been very informative. I plan on coming back in August or September and look forward to being there during the rainy season.

  9. It is good to see that you are still writing your blog Patricia. I have not had the chance to speak to you in quite some time and I never see you on skype which is a shame.

    Anyway, I am hoping to be able to move down there in a year if this cancer decides to stop being a pain in my rear (LOL) It's always something isn't it :)

    Keep writing, your narratives always make me smile
