Hola, Amigos!
I'll try to make this week's post shorter than last week's... I got a bit carried away with our travel photos.
It has been a quiet week, although we've had about three projects started and none finished.
1. The heavy rains always wash gullies in our driveway, so Ben ordered 6 yards of decomposed granite to put down. Ryan, Ben and I then shoveled and raked it out where it needed to go, and it looks and drives much better. This project isn't finished because there is still a good sized pile by the cattle guard that Ben intends to use to make the hump less severe when we go over it, especially with the car trailer.
2. My clothesline post was rusted out and fell over after Hurricane Odile, when Ryan hung some wet towels on it. Ben found a welder yesterday and got the post repaired. Then he came home and he and Ryan sweated buckets in the hot sun to mix and pour concrete and reset the post. Today he is in La Paz and will get some stainless steel eye bolts to run the rope through. In the meantime, he strung another line for me on the west side of the house under the palapa. Oh, and we've got to sand and repaint the post, too.
3. Every summer, we come back home with another box or two of books to read, and they were starting to pile up seriously! Those of you who have been here know we have full bookshelves in most rooms. This last week, we got serious about emptying and shelving the boxes of new books, and eliminating a bunch of old books. We're not quite done yet, but we're getting there! And, we've each got at least one shelf of books we want to read! I think we're in good shape for reading material this year.
Other than that, it has been a quiet week. I took the dogs down to the beach for a walk,
I saw Jesus on the beach,
I had a much-needed pedicure,
the dogs are at home on their lounge chair on the veranda,
and we got together for dinner with friends we hadn't seen all summer at Tio's
We hope that those of you who were considering a Baja vacation this year are still considering! Our home seems to be surrounded by a jungle right now, the sun is bright, the water is warm. We'd love to see you! The SJD airport is open, but they aren't sending down too many flights yet. Book your flights early!!
Our October 2014 Picasa album has a few more new photos for you to see.
Hasta la proxima semana,
Tus amigos en Baja
Harriet, Ben, Ryan, Sam & Zoey
