These clocks are in my kitchen. They read from left to right like this:
~ Hanalei
(our favorite place in Hawaii)
~ Mission Viejo
(where we live)
~ Habana
(where I’m from)
~ Brighton
(England – where my husband’s family is from)
Not that clocks mean much to Cubans. We like the concept of "-ish." As in, "we’ll be there around 3-ish."
In Spanish, it’s "y pico." "Nos vemos a las 3 y pico."
Although I hate being late, I like the idea of a more flexible time base. It feels more abundant somehow. There’s plenty of time!
My kids are running slow this morning. Because we homeschool, there are no bells to adhere to, but I still prefer that they get started earlier. That way, our school day is over earlier.
They are in the kitchen now making breakfast. And I ask what’s up with them that they are so slow today.
"We’re running on Cuban time today, Mom." 😉
They know too much.
Plenty of time…. I like that!
I’m running on Cuban time today too. I wonder if it’s Museum fall-out?
Great post Marta!Thanks for sharing … what a neat idea of having such meaningful clocks in your kitchen … and there’s no doubt that your Cuban genes are strong & active in your children! LOL !!
I wish you well 🙂 Melek
“Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can’t buy more hours. Scientists can’t invent new minutes. And you can’t save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you’ve wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow.”~ D. Waitely
I spy a really cute Mrs. Potts! C-ya tomorrow on-line!
yo soy cubana!
