Monday July 23/12 update
I had a bad night and felt on the queasy side so I decided
to skip Spanish class for today.
Bella was able to sit up and eat a little, but she can’t
stay upright for very long. I have no
interest in catching what she has.
I trekked to our local Coopera to do the banking for
Bella. I stopped off to see how Raoul
was doing with the new construction. It
was noon and there were no workmen around, which is really strange because
their usual lunch time is around 1:30.
Since they do everything by hand it is very time-consuming to do all the
digging, assemble the rebar and to do the cement work, etc. A lot of time will be spent to make sure the
foundation is completely sold before they proceed to any walls and upper
floors.
He then dragged me around the corner to the building he owns
occupied by a medical lab. The doctor
there had an extension cord break down and caused a fire in one corner. Apparently the guy tried to put it out with
water, not even an extinguisher…. He has
all sorts of electrical equipment in there linked to a sort of fused power box
but he hooked it to the outlet with a cheap extension that couldn’t take the
load. And there are only 2 breakers for
the place and they are such high amps that they didn’t even kick off. I suggested the man invests in some $10 power
bars for his protection. Luckily the
building is basically concrete so there is only a sooty residue in the whole
corner. Raoul said he promised the guy
that he would clean and paint it.
I received another email link to the blog of one of the
photography tour participants and they raved about our tour, again, asking
people to contact us about future tours.
I sent them a note back requesting their ideas for another tour as it
seems there is a lot of interest for them.
Tom Thumb isn’t around much these days, only twice
today. Maybe he has found greener
pastures??
Put a mark on the wall everybody, Bella let/made me cook
today!! Not only that, but she thought
it tasted great and she ate more than she thought she would!! I can still make a mean burger so I won’t
starve when my honey is in Canada .
Oh, don’t forget it is her Birthday tomorrow… Send her a note, will y’all?
Enjoy the pics. That
was today’s excitement. Hugs to all.
