Focusing Again

On May 22nd Patrice had a nasty accident in our 2002 Ford Focus. Two weeks after they told us the car had been totaled and we were getting a new one. Today, 3 weeks later, we’re finally going to pick up a brand new 2003 Ford Focus, for the same price, but different color (we had a black one, now we’re getting a beautiful red one, that we actually saw parked last night at the dealer, waiting for us, he he!). I’m excited! They told us they have a surprise for us, which we have absolutely no idea. We know we won some kind of raffle and now Patrice is going to have a nice Ford jacket, but there’s something else.

New cars are cool. I wish this one would’ve come in different circumstances, but I have to be grateful that we are able to pay for insurance, that nothing happened to my husband and that we can afford a vehicle for transportation. I’ll post pictures later!

Arepitas de Maíz

A Camilo y a Patricia les cuento que hoy, después de casi cuatro años de estar en Canadá, por fin hice arepas de mi propia cuenta. Obviamente no tengo la logística que tiene mi mamá con todos los super aparatos de cocina (que resultan ser una tapa especial para formar las arepas y la bendita plancha para asarlas). En fin, las doré un poco en la sartén y ahora están en el horno volviéndose crujientes, o por lo menos un poquito para no frustrarme.

Las probé, muy ricas. No pregunten si están redonditas y bonitas porque les mentiría, ja ja! Pero para ser la primera vez que hago arepas YO SOLA, no quedaron nada mal. Y quieren reírse? No encontré una receta COLOMBIANA, entonces seguí las instrucciones de nuestros vecinos, ¡cónchale!.

Father’s Day 2003

To all the daddies out there, much love and best wishes. I wasn’t going to post anything today because I’m feeling sad since my dad is not with me anymore, but I have to be grateful for what I had in him and remind everyone to go and give their dads a big hug and tell them you love them. Do it today, do it now… you never know when it’s going to be too late. Happy Father’s Day!

Time to smile!

Jennifer says it’s time to have some fun in the Blogosphere, and frankly… I agree! Darn it, I’m so unmotivated to post after this busy week. So, take 6 photos of things that make you smile, tomorrow June 14th, and share them on your blog. Have fun!
