Blog, blog, blog



For a long time I have hesitated to start writing a new posting on this blog, thinking I have to write a masterpiece, and so I write nothing at all. I think I will instead try to write short ideas more often.  Like how cold it is here in Brazil right now. I sure miss June in Utah. My mind and body think it is November. There is no central heating in most homes in Brazil, and we only have a small space heater.  We bundle up when we are home, and are cold most of the time. The indoor temperature usually registers about 61 degrees F. Outdoors about 45 degrees at night, and maybe gets up to 65 sometimes in the afternoon. The beach is empty and beautiful. I love the ocean and the sand, even when the temperature is cold and the wind is blowing.

I've been missing your posts and wondering what happened to you. Glad to hear you are alive and well, if cold.

and yes, the beach is bautiful whether it's cold and empty or warm an full. I occasioally feel gypped that life has landed me in a dessert. Not that I don't love Utah, because I do, but I love the beach too.

Glad to see you.

P.S. Isn't it funny that once you get a blog you feel you have to be brilliant to post. It's a bit silly, really. But it's a feeling that most every blogger I've ever met feels.

Hi, Yvonne and Bob! Good to hear from you at last. Did the reading materials that I mailed to you two weeks ago, arrive? I have a pair of wool socks that I knitted to send to you, Yvonne. Probably not get to the post office until last week. If I put it off long enough, it'll be spring in Brazil and you won't need them. Ann is here with me at Rick's and is staying overnight. Can't swim in his pool because it's raining. Love, Sue
