A remarkable story of faith, courage and determination making one realize that we should never, ever give up.

Continued prayers for a successful conclusion to this unbelievable drama.

Freedom Or..............?

As I lurk, comment and write, I am watching live on live BBC World, the rescue of the 33 Chilean miners who have been trapped in a mine for sixty nine days. It is cold, there are fires burning in the desert camp and families are; trying to keep warm as they wait. Yes the authorities and rescue teams have spoken of the difficulties of the rescue but the story dominating the news is that of one man: Yonni Barrios. I don't know if he knows yet, but above ground:

Trapped Chilean Miner's Wife And Mistress Meet

One of the trapped Chilean miners is in no rush to be rescued -- because both his wife and his longtime mistress will be waiting for him when he finally sees the light of day, according to a New York Post report. Neither woman was aware of the other's existence until they met at a candlelight vigil for the miners,The Sun newspaper of Britain reported.Yonni Barrios' wife, Marta Salinas, was shocked to hear another woman shouting her husband's name at the gathering held to support the 33 men who are trapped 2,300 feet underground, the paper said.They compared notes and figured out that they both had been shafted.

Officials said the miners aren't likely to be rescued before Christmas.Despite feeling "horrified" about her husband's cheating ways, Salinas, 56, has told friends she still plans to welcome Barrios, 50, back with open arms once he's freed, the paper said."Barrios is my husband. He loves me and I am his devoted wife," she said.But she's not the only one who feels that way.Susana Valenzuela, who's been his mistress for five years, insists she'll always be his soul mate.

Whoops!

Our House: A Mission

One day last week my husband had to go to town. He decided to go on the bus so even though I was supposed to start my two days off (ended up as one and a half - well one and a third!) I agreed to drop him off at the bus terminal at 6.00am. It was actually 5.45am when we left the apartment.

Thereby started a series of text messages:

6.27am text from husband: boarded a new bus at 6.15 now passing sissons
6.29am text to husband: very good
8.26am text from husband: mission completed on my way to chag
8.27am text to husband: very good
8.29am text to husband: how far from chaguanas?
8.30am text from husband: bus terminal
8.31am text to husband: town?
8.32am text from husband yes
8.33am text to husband text me when you reach and will pick up

If my husband lost his phone or I lost mine and someone found them and then read the messages they may well think that there was either a secret mission going on or I was collecting a 'drop'! In this part of the world anything is possible!!

The reason for the mission??

To collect his electronic birth certificate from the Ministry of Legal Affairs!!!!

Almost..............

I'm back!! Well almost - I think I need a good night's sleep or two or even three before I can even start to think about blogging.

So much has happened in 'Our House' but we're all breathing so I know we're alive!

So much has happened work wise and still so much to do before the end of the year.

I see many are talking about pumpkins, tricks or treats, goodies, Halloween costumes but the burning news is that this old witch has to recharge her batteries before carving up any pumpkins - and the vehicle has been out of action for a few weeks so the cylinders need checking. A broom unused for a while, tends to be sluggish and slow to start whereas it's hard to stop a newly serviced broom from going from 0 - 200 mph in a witch's cackle second!

Hello!

What Would Yo Do?

Everyone should see this.
