We said goodbye to Christmas, I like the Christmas lights in juxtaposition with palm trees.:
I wanted to take a moment to thank Cheryl ad Dan for all the things they've given us over the last year- this doesn't include the groceries they brought down or the plain old friendship they've shown or taking care of Shadow or their other myriad generosities. Here are a few examples:
Microwave cart:
Lighting fixtures that match our house perfectly:
Clock radio for guest room:
Bunkbeds for guest room with bedding:
Gas BBQ
Toaster oven which yes, I have to clean:
I've gone native! Bean soup with chilies and pork:
Anaheim chiles with cheese and tortilla lunch
We came home one day and there was a police car out front with some people talking to the police. Seems a guy had spun his car around in our intersection and sent gravel flying, and had broken a number of windows including ours. Luckily we're insured.
Our beautiful bathtub didn't have running water when we arrived, a source of some concern for me!! Eduardo had been saying for a while that he would come over and fix it, he said everything was hooked up. Last week he and Oswaldo showed up, cut a hole in our back wall, and pulled out all the hoses.
This is the culprit. A little calcification.
Our friend Paul has been here for ten days, we've had a great time showing him around. Karen and Dave came down from Laughlin NV on Tuesday evening, and were planning on staying until Friday morning, but after a really great day yesterday they decided today was a good driving day. It's been raining and blowing a gale! The wind was so strong it blew over the circle K sign!
We're going out for dinner tonight to Ramon's and tomorrow we drive up to Phoenix, drop Paul off, drop Carl at his book sale, I go to see Eli at a multiplex, then I pick up Carl and we drive to Tucson, where we stay in a Motel 6.
Saturday morning we drop Carl off at another book sale, and I go to see the Tucson Museum of Art where they have an Ansel Adams exhibition. I pick him up about 2 and we drive back home. Busy!! See what I'm saying?
