I got chills, they’re multiplyin’

When I was young, “Grease” was the word. Now “High School Musical” is all the rage. So, in a never-ending quest to be a “hip” mom, we bought the dance video, moved the furniture and learned the steps to “We’re All In This Together”. You got it: the cold weather is back and we were stuck inside… together.

I look at the calendar and can’t believe how fast the time went by. It gives me chills to think that 11 months have passed since we arrived in the rain, and now its raining again and we’re thinking about packing it all up. While I am not as enamored with the rain as Gene Kelly was, I don’t mind it either as it seems to anchor our time here. Also, rain in town means clean air and a stunning view of snow on the Andes in the morning.

But regardless of the cold, tonight we’re steppin’ out and celebrating the sale of our car. An extraordinary event considering the lavaauto (carwash) decided that blue spray-paint on our green car would be the best solution to hide a few scratches.

Winnie the Pooh and Piglet once walked around in the snow, thinking they were hunting something but all the time only following their own footprints. In a similar way, it is starting to feel like we’ve come full circle. Almost. We’ve a few steps left.
