Furniture Shopping ...

After nearly three weeks of living at my "new" plain house, I've decided to do some "light" furniture shopping. That may seem like an insignificant event to you but there are folks close to me who may understand the magnitude of this event. It means I've finally found a place to call my own, my home. Finally, I can start to evolve in my rooted place. Granted, it's not perfect (nothing ever is) but it's more than I need for the moment.

Thanks so much to everyone who has shared in this and other monumental events in my life this past year. I am forever indebted to you ...

Take care,

Justina Garcia-Bautista

P.S.: By the way, I am not married. The hyphenated last name is my effort to honor my mom. (It is common Hispanic practice to use the father's surname and the mother's maiden name through the children's last name.) Although she is not with me, her life serves as my inspiration.

P.S.S.: I thought I would never create a blog. Actually, this blog started after the creation of Victor's blog (http://www.pridafrica.blogspot.com ... a link will be created in the future). I learned so much from that experience and couldn't wait to give it a try on my own. We'll see how things go from here.
