Involuntary moans, sometimes hiccups, random sighs, and often a wow! or other unconscious exclamatory remark are all normal side effects when you are taking heavy duty opiates like fentynol, morphine, and dilaudid. (Scott is taking all three.) I can’t help but respond to these distressing sounds and ask him if everything is all right…does he […]
What’s up? You guessed it: yet another colorful Indian wedding party! The theme looks to be Fruit of the Loom….or perhaps, Beside the Seaside. Same thing, right? Brightens my day and I hope yours, too!
So much of our predicament has been hard. Not just hard in the sense of being emotionally hard to deal with….but, hard. The pitted country roads in upper Morjim, northern Goa? Hard. The pieces of grit and once even a pebble discovered in mouth while chewing food? Hard.The rough terry towels all the tougher from […]
This week marks 2 religious holidays for us here in Goa. Roshoshana, the Jewish New Year, and Ganeshe Chaturthi, the 5 day festival celebrating Hindu religion’s Lord Ganeshe’s birthday. Preparations are already underway in Panjim for the festivities. Furniture vendors are set up for a mile along the park side walk with makeshift tarp tents. […]

Our friend Maureen volunteered without us asking to take our two kids on, even though she has an 85 lb poodle of her own. The beyond generous offer was accepted and Maureen, […]

Often Scott and I are deeply moved by our readers’ own stories. We are reposting this here but the original exchange can be seen on our Contact page in the comments section. Thank you for sharing, Jeannie! Good day Scott and Katy Please know I didn’t ignore your reply. I honestly didn’t know it was […]
This is the view from the AZur Cafe, aka Scott’s favorite painting studio when he was able to sit in a wheelchair a few months ago. As you can see, today there is bright sunshine. The monsoon season is not completely behind us yet but we are only experiencing occasional showers now until the end […]
And now for something completely different…..Monty Python fans will no doubt remember that famous phrase. Would you believe this six foot wild python was captured right out front of our hotel a few nights ago?! I wish I had seen it in person. Thanks to Chef Samantha ( who snapped this pic) that I heard […]
Am I just overly sensitive or is it true we can’t escape reminders of death no matter how hard we try? Scott needs distraction therapy since he can no longer paint so we are often watching TV. Last night, thinking to avoid the horrors of nerve gas victims in Syria we turned to HBO…wrong move […]
