Where have I been? Well, most assuredly, not here at the Gumbo blog. I haven’t written a scrap on the blog in months, save for a plea for mammon yesterday for needy kids. See yesterday’s post if you care to help.
I have no excuse. Nothing. Nada.
I write. I began a journal as a Lenten exercise. I didn’t stop at the Resurrection. I have seventy odd pages in a secure place.
I am tutoring: children and adults. I teach Spanish for gringos; English for others. I have foreign students, such as Japanese, French, and Brazilians.
Bubu, my German Shepherd, died this fall. He was old. No pain.

Now, I have a foster who may be adopted tomorrow. Rosa is a mature girl, 6 1/2 years old. She’s active and happy. If the prospective family fails to take her, consider adopting Rosa.
If you don’t receive a Christmas card from me, consider this picture as your personal card.
I hope to write more about future plans in 2017. I am bored with the RWPs (rich white people) in the US. My self-imposed hermitage must end.
Adventure calls!
