Solar, Renata & Karinna Cassis Law

When I get back to Santa Fe I anticipate spending a lot of time with my new granddaughter Karinna. She was born October 9th, at home, a water birth. She is almost 4 months old and when I see her again she will be sitting up but we are starting to visit on skype and that way she will recognize me when we meet again. If you can't be there in person, SKYPE. I do love my son Solar and his lovely wife Renata, her parents, but they know why I really come to visit. Karinna is a love and it is hard being away from her. She talks a lot already and she is also a very good sport.

Family in Cusco, Peru

Here is my little family in Cusco. Sunday Peaches, Kunjabihari, Asraya and Mirabai. This was taken this summer so they are bigger now. They are the loves of my life. I am so excited about seeing them. They have grown two gardens this year which is very wonderful for me and they are enjoying fresh veggies from their own hard work.

Visit in Los Angeles

I made it to LA in hopes of visiting Dennis but the doctors say he is too ill for visitors so I have resigned myself to the possibility I will not see him before I leave for Cusco, Peru on Feb. 9th. That would be sad for me. I do, however, look forward to being with my daughter Sunday and my three grandchildren who I adore. I love Cusco and it's people and art and rock formations. It is a super place to visit if you can get over the altitude sickness that comes with 10,000 ft. I also look forward to helping the flood victims. Check out this site where my daughter Pilar shows you what is up. http://pilarlaw.tumblr.com/

Se me fue mi amor

Montion, on the morning I left, which was just yesterday, sang me a lovely goodbye song. Aren't you in love with her now too?

First salad

This is the first salad we fixed from the new garden. What a thrill to eat from land that has just started to produce again. It was a great day!!

The garden or her dreams

The garden I made for Montion is now producing a salad every other day. We are fighting buggs eating the zuchini and pumpkin plants but it is so great to see green growing where once just dirt and weeds.

Wise beyond her years

I have had such a great time hanging with Montion and doing her garden. She is so wise and so fun to be with, always reciting poetry and singing songs. She is a true living legend.
