Hola, Amigos
Amidst all this work, we managed to attend our friend Ray's 80th birthday (his wife invited at least 80 people!), went to a concert in the park, and made birthday cake and had birthday dinner with our friends Tony and Janet. So you see, it's not all work and no play here!
That's Ray in the middle there, with the Miraflores mariachi band. Ray, by the way, is a Bass player, and plays with me every Sunday at church, then usually every Wednesday night at Open Mic in Los Barriles, and wherever else he has opportunity to play. He's a very talented musician. And here are the Purkeys at Ray's party, too.
Another week has gone by, and it was a busy one! Several major projects were accomplished...with flair!!!
1. Ben and Ryan (with very little help from me!) primered, then painted our carport, then installed all the light sconces and new lighting fixtures. It turned out just beautiful, and the paint even matches the old paint pretty good! The light fixtures we picked out in Oregon this summer work nicely, too. Not too bright, but big enough to make a statement!
The exterior light fixtures we picked out in Oregon this summer work nicely, too. Not too bright, but big enough to make a statement!
2. I finally finished my new quilt, and it, too, turned out just beautiful! Now I need to bundle it up and send it to Oregon with a friend who, with his wife, runs a quilting shop (they have the long-arm machines to do the quilting). We'll pick it up this summer when we go to Oregon. Sure don't need a quilt on our bed right now! (Yes, this one is for us).

Tony enjoyed his prime rib dinner at Tio's and the very chocolate cake I made for him!
I'm still picking beans most every day, and now I'm scrounging for jars to put them in to can. We should have a nice supply by the time the beans are done producing! And I've been giving some away, too. This was a nice big batch I picked yesterday.
Daylight Savings time started in Mexico on Sunday, so Ben took the opportunity of longer daylight hours to get out the '28 Woody to drive into town to pick up some friends for dinner. They said it felt like they were in a parade the whole time, since everyone waves at us! Fun!
Our Amaryllis have started to bloom, and we are enjoying them. We have many double whites with some red stripes, and at least one nice single red one. They make quite a statement on our entry walk!
More photos are in our April 2013 Picasa Album. I'll even try to get some captions on them! Now, I need to take care of all those beans I picked yesterday!
Hasta la proxima semana,
Tus amigos en Baja
Harriet, Ben, Ryan, Sam & Zoey (who are actually barking less these days!)
