1st time teaching English via Skype

Well I have been working with a local company in Santiago to update leads list for Pharmaceutical Companies to offer teaching English.

I can't believe the number of companies here in Chile. It is hard to track sometimes due to mergers of companies. Sometimes the name is the same others times they may be come a subsidiary. So this is still in process, but I had the opportunity to teach a person who is a psychologist.

It was kind of scary, but was fun as we both learned about each other and other topics. I had some help from the person I work for as this was my first time. So we shall see how this goes.

Have a great weekend

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4^th of july

Well Happy 4th of July to all our family and friends in  the US. It will be a laid back day for us, here in Chile. The weather has become much cooler and we have snow in the mountains.

We may have some friends come over and will have a picnic (inside of course) of hot dogs,chips and barbecue chicken. 

Well take care and be safe. 

God watches over dumb people.....

Well as the title says, God watches over us dumb people. I was going to pay our bills today, as Susan is heading for Miami today for a conference.  Well anyway, I got to Jumbo and was getting in line and I reached in my pocket for the bills......oh no.... I couldn't find them. Had I forgotten them at home? I didn't think so... so I backed tracked my way home. I found them in the middle of the road, I guess they had fallen out. Thank God I had found them because my Spanish is not good enough to pay the bills without a current bill. Yes you can pay current bill with a old bill.

I guess I am getting sapping in my old age. I like the song Only Time by Enya, till I saw the movie Sweet November today...how sad, now the song is even more sad.

Still alive

Well it has been awhile since I have posted. This is because not a lot is going on, just life. Same as everyone else, except that I am not working.

Well as I said not much going on. We heading into winter, the weather is still nice. It is cool in the morning but the afternoon is nice and warm, upper 60s.

I thought I would upload some new pictures.

This is a picture of  fruit we have on a plant we have in the backyard. It is called Monstera deliciosa.

Here is a closer picture of the fruit

The fruit is suppose to taste like across between pineapple and strawberry. I'll have to let you know if we try the fruit.

Well I do have work to do, well yard work anyway.

Maybe will upload more pictures.

Life...

Well sorry I haven't posted in a while. Basically as the title says... life. That is pretty much where I am right now.  Have had no luck in obtaining a teaching English position, I think in part as I have no degree. Other then that we are doing fine. We are moving into Fall here, the children here have started school so its more nosier in the morning as all the little school bus come to pick up the kids.

Well hope all my friends are well. Write we you can.
