Friday June 15/12 update
Bella went to meet Yoshi at a Spa near our Coopera store to
exchange some goods. Apparently the
lady that runs the Spa was born in Main Centre, Sask (around Herbert, Morse, Swift
Current). They moved to Toronto,
then Ecuador, she married an
Ecuadorian and they have been back and forth between here and Texas many times.
I had a lazy day, watched a strange Casey Affleck movie then
went for a little walk East again with the camera. Behind the Hospital IESS is this complex of
136 townhouses that the security guard said was sold out although there appeared
to be very few occupied yet. Beyond that
complex it appears there are a couple of apartments being built as well but
they are not part of the complex. I saw
the #16 bus continue down the dirt road so some day I’ll have to see if it
somehow makes it to the Hospital Del Rio that way… We are not short of medical facilities in the
area.
Walking back through the neighbourhood I saw a very familiar sight, a home restaurant (right next to their laundry) offering a $0.75 burger, and they are generally very good. The pizza joint was closed again so I don't know if we will ever figure out their hours.
They are pouring a cement flat roof across the road. They actually have a Ready-Mix truck come and
pump it up to the roof where they are busy screeding (I think that’s the word)
it flat, trying to beat the darkness on a Friday night. Most workers are done at 4pm on a Friday
night and these guys were still rushing at 6pm.
Bella made homemade chicken pot pie for supper and it was the best I have ever eaten anywhere.
Enjoy the pics.
That was today’s excitement.
Hugs to all.
