With all the rain in Seaview.... I wish I was back in the blinding hot sun of southern Morocco. Here I am feeling like Paula Wolfert at the souk. Posted by Hello

Essaouira, Morocco

We travelled to Essaouira on my 3rd day in Morocco. As we crested the hill...the ocean breeze blew and Aura was sure she was in heaven! After 9 months landlocked in the desert... the salt air smelled like home! Posted by Hello

A pretty little white washed town where Moroccans go to cool off in the summer. Posted by Hello

Home from visiting Aura in Morocco! Brett, Paris and I joined Ginger and Royal Harshman (with the daughter serving in The Peace Corps in Madagascar) at The Depot Restaurant for Burger Night. It was nice to see family and friends. Paris will be helping out as a Prep Cook while home this summer.  Posted by Hello

Our cat, Calypso, begs to go outside and visit her friends. I am getting so used to the lawn ornaments... who needs topiaries? They are becoming part of the family. From this vantage point... they watch their buddy, Calypso in the window...and can see Brett viewing the morning news on the television.  Posted by Hello

Trees and lots of firewood!

Last month... we woke to the sound of our neighbor's trees being worked on... at 5:30am!!! Geeze...so early. Finally at 6:30am I pulled on my rubber boots and went over to check it out. When I crawled back under the covers...Brett had the same thought.... "Did you get their name and number? At least they show up!" Yup, and now a month later... they came.... at 7 am. We have many trees to work on. Posted by Hello
