This morning started to rain, it was cold and windy.
So I stayed in bed all day reading e mails, chatting with friends and resting.
Willy and Paskki got Empanadas for lunch!!! They were soooooo good!!
After I went online and I got a wonderful e mail my friends surprised me with an invitation to a luncheon in my honor this Sunday!
I am so touched, I will see friends I have not seen in 35 years!
My niece Andrea Paz came over and we spent about 3 hours watching videos of the family and old photos.
She left a little while ago, it still raining and it will rain until Sunday.
Later, Pascale's friend Adriana a ballerina, writer and artist came over for tea and we had a wonderful time talking, listening to music.
Paskki and Willy arrived later and Paskki bought a lovely art piece with two little angels, made by Adriana, the first art piece for the new apartment!
Her lovely work can be order online at adrianasalcedo7@gmail.com
After Adriana left, we watched family videos and listened to old songs.
So today was a quiet wonderful day.

Today I went to spend the day with my mom.
We had lunch in a restaurant near Los Leones called " The little seashells"
we had "Cazuelas" wich is a vegetable soup with potatoes, corn, pumpink, green beans, onions, beef, all cooked slowly and with a super salad.
Later we went back to her suite and watched videos in my laptop.
After we went down to the dinning room to have tea.
And my girlfriend Roxana picked me up and we went to dinner at a lovely place called
" El Reloj" and had some pisco sours to celebrate.
Seeing each other was so nice, laughing like old times when we were teens!
She drove me home around midnight.
Wonderful day!
RESTING AT HOME

Later on, Pascale came over and two of her friends we had dinner here and it was very enjoyable seeing her with her friends having such a great time.
Willy arrived later and by ten or eleven everyone was gone and I returned to my laptop,
chatting with friends until late in the night.

SPENDING TIME WITH MOM
I took a taxi to my mom's apartment.
She lives in a senior only building.
When i got there she had spread over the bed all of her blouses for me to choose one to go with the new blue pantsuit I bought for Pascale's wedding.
I chose a golden one, it will look great against the dark blue pantsuit.
After we went down to the dinning room for tea time.
I met all of her girlfriends.
Later my sister Claire stopped by to visit and my future son in law picked me up, we came home waited for Pascale and then we went out to dinner to a Japanese restaurant to meet our friends Alfredo and Macarena.
We had a delicious dinner and celebrated with a bottle of champagne.
And came home after midnight.

SHOPPING IN LAS CONDES
Today we went to a mall near Pascale's apartment.
Very nice, with water fountains, papyrus, rubber plants, lotus, all in a mediterranean architecture of warm colors.
In one store I found a "chanel style" blue jacket, with matching pants.
When I sat outside the ladies clothing area, a woman came to me and she looked into my eyes smiling and she said, " Pachi, I am your cousin Carmen Gloria"!
We laughed and hugged, all to Pascale's amazed face, who couldn't believe all this..
We agreed to organize a "cousins" get together before I leave Chile.
After that in another store, I found a pair of shoes, dark blue with alligator style print.
All I need now is to find the perfect blouse to go with the chanel pant suit.
We came home and went have tea with Paskki's friends Sergio and Laura, whom I met in 2007 then they had just a little baby Sarita, who now is 3 years old and has a little brother, cute Max just one year old.
We had a wonderful time with them, not to mention a delicious tea time!

MOTHERS DAY 2010
Last night there was an earthquake!!!
Around 11:30 pm the tremor hitted, I sat in the bed, I was watching tv and I thought it was going to grow in intensity, but luckily it was only a 4.7 about 155 miles West of Santiago.
This morning I went to see the new apartment Pascale bought, in the eight floor, two bedrooms, two bathrooms with a spectacular view of the Andes Mountains!!!
She will move in next week, so I will be able to enjoy it several days looking at my dear Cordillera!!
Then we picked up my mom and we went to my sister Claire's home, where the whole family arrived, my brother, his wife my nephew, nieces and their husbands and children.
We had a wonderful time, eating all the delicious Chilean food, drinking Chilean wine and laughing with the people I love!!
Now I am next to Pascale, thanking the Universe for this wonderful oportunity to spend time with her!

SUNNY SATURDAY
Today I went out to lunch with my old buddy Tallo ( actually he was my boyfriend in the 70-73 ) and we have been friends since then.
He picked me up and we went to a Lomito place, ( lomito is a Chilean sandwich, of sliced boiled pork, avocado, mayo and tomatoe) You REALLY have to try it in order to understand the mix...hehe
It is delicious.
I drank a cold Heineken with it while se sat outside, listening to a couple of university students playing northen songs in a charango and pan flute.
We talked about our children and grandchildren and had a wonderful time reminicing about our youth.
Later that day I went out with my mom and Willy to see Pascale dance at the Municipal Theater of Lo Barnechea in a function to collect school utensils for the children survivors of the 8.8 earthquake who lost everything after the tsunami.
My daughter danced wonderfly and I was so proud of her!
I video taped the dance and I will upload it as soon as I edit it.
Willy gave her flowers after the dance and she was glowing!!!
After, all four of us, went out to dinner to a Japanese
restaurant in Las Condes and had great sushi!!
We took my mom to her Senior Suites and came back to the apartment.
Thank you, thank you Universe!!
