Life in Chile

Hi Friends,

Life is moving along as normal. Nothing drastic has happened this week. We’ve had rain, sun, laughter, smiles, and a few tears. We still have three chickens, two dogs, and one incredibly wild horse. Rodrigo is still working daily on the house. Rodrigo and Lucas built a little dog house for Alaska – the pup we found on the side of the road, and she’s living it up in her palace. We found two eggs the other day. The children were thrilled! And now we’re building a chicken-coop – Chilean style – as in one of our neighbors asked if we’d hire him for something, and we asked if he could build a house for the chickens. He looked at me if I had asked him if the sun was round. According to him, we’ll be able to fit about fifty chickens in this new little house. I’m thinking ten.

This is my backyard … It’s lovely in the morning sun.

And last but not least, we’ve placed several of our coffee mugs in one of the new cabinets Rodrigo made… We love Starbucks! And Miss Seattle and our Seattle family and friends every day.

Anyways, thanks for reading this blog, for your prayers, and for your unwavering support. I am so thankful.

Much Love,

Tina

  1. It’s nice to hear your stories and see your pictures. It intrigued me when I moved to Georgia, USA, and there were chickens in the front yards! But this is the country, although ten chickens (or fifty!) sounds more like an adventure. Can you get Starbuck’s there, or do friends and family ship it to you?

    1. Hi! Thanks for commenting. Alas, we don’t have Starbucks in Temuco. We have a stash from our last visit. It’s starting to run out.

      Hope you’re well!

      Much love,

      Tina
