It has been a huge challenge to make any progress in the past few weeks...but rest assured that things are well underway!
Why the delays?? Let me just say that my next blog will be about the state of so-called healthcare in this country! Meaning of course, the immense, lumbering beaurocracy that stands between us and our health/sanity...!! :(
So - you will see a huge difference, thans in most part to Vóvó and her energy and love for this - and her general lack of patience with slowpokes!!!!!
People have come out of their homes and started making their donations of gifts at the Town Square, the farm animals are in the fields, gardens are looking lush, the fauna in the forests are peeking out from among the firs...
The clothesline was a major challenge/setback - with each pole supported separately, it just kept flopping over and ruining the garden...in desperation I wrapped the ends of 2 twisty-ties across the bases, gave it some structural integrity with masking tape, and voilá!
We have sighted the wise men - they are nearing the village, and should get there by Epiphany with no problem. You can see them in the montage below... (They may be held up a bit, as they seem to be waiting for a sign from above that it is OK to cross the railroad tracks...)
Merry Christmas, Feliz Natal a todos!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait, who painted/donated that background?! Um, I mean - what a beautiful setting for this Portuguese village. What part of the country are we in?
ReplyDeleteHappy post ChristmaS
That was really me with one of my alter-egos AKA a friend was using my computer. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe "wise men" (since when are men are wise??) I are just praying that the snow doesn't spoil their plans to arrive by the 9th. As it is, they are already 3 days late.
ReplyDeleteOh! by the way, they are also praying that a "happy little girl in a tutu and tiara" be there to greet them.;-)
