This is how we celebrated Thanksgiving

Hello everyone,

Yesterday was Thanksgiving in the USA
A day where families get together to eat and give thanks for the blessings each has received during the year.
Nikita, Dimitri (who invited his friend Humberto) and yours truly went to Nipomo, to celebrate at the home of Michelle's in laws Dale and Kai who are super nice and always include our family in their holiday celebrations.
Michelle and Nathan with Zachary were there as well as Nick and Natalie with her boyfriend Robert, his lovely daughters and his parents.
Aunt Betty and other friends as well.
We had a great dinner, with all the customary ingredients of American Thanksgiving, turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, salads and a delicious carrot souffle. for dessert several pies, my grandson Zachary was eating whipped cream and smiling very happy!!
Of my children several were somewhere else, Pascale in Chile, (she was visiting friends in Iquique a northern city, near where the earthquakes last week ) Jason and Amber were with Norman my ex, Tatiana was in Mexico with her dad and Ela still in Ukraine. But all of them were in my prayers.
Also I gave thanks for my family in Chile and all my friends around the planet.

After dinner, Dale played the video of Nathan and Michelle from babies all the way to their wedding day and Zachary.
Everyone watched, ohhh ahhh, laughed and had a wonderful time.

And that was the way we celebrated our Thanksgiving 2007

thank you, thank you, thank you universe...

So far so good and the doctor said to return in June 2008 for another check up.
So, we are flying home tomorrow at 2 pm. with Tatiana and Dimitri.
My sweet niece Pamela has offered to pick us up at the SLO airport.
I will let you know what develops as life goes on.

Magic happens!!!

Sometimes life surprises us, this happened to me last week.
A tv crew from Chile, Mega tv came over to San Luis Obispo, they followed me around
for four days and then they invited me to Chile!!!
I landed in Santiago November 1,2007 and as we drove to the hotel, on the radio they welcomed me to the country and played the song I sang 35 years ago!!!
Everyday was a magical day, surprising my family, seeing my mom, my daughter Pascale who looks wonderful and visiting my old schools, neighborhood and even singing on stage one night, only to be surprised when Pascale came onto stage and danced for me a lovely song. I visited friends who are now in very important political and military posts.
After 5 days, I had to return home, but the cherry on the top was at the airport, where the Mega tv people presented me with the recognition of a GOLD RECORD for being 16 weeks on second place on the Chilean top ten ....this came after 35 years!!!
I flew home in a daze, very happy.
I am now in LA having to take Tatiana and Dimitri to Children's Hospital tomorrow for medical tests.
But I will return home on the 14th.
When the program airs in Chile, I will post it here, so everyone can see it.
thank you, thank you, thank you magical universe

I am back!!

Hello everyone,

I am back, finally!!!
I was without phone or internet for a long week, kind of quiet really...
Well now I am back, and glad to be reading my emails and chatting with you all again.
Sad news from California, as you can see on tv, many people have lost their homes in the horrible fire storms.
I am praying the winds will die down and we can breathe pure air again.
All my love,

Sonia Paz
