Saturday September 22/12 update

I had the first load of laundry running by 6am with all the bedding and towels and got cracking at the other chores.  I let the first load dry for a while since the clotheslines were full.  It is a good thing the first load dried by noon.  I then stuck in the second load and had a nap.  When the washing was done and hung up I had a second nap.

Joseph emailed that he managed to make room for Ed and Dick for supper tonight so I headed over on the #50 to see how it would operate with the new interchange on Las Americas.  The bus dropped me off a block away from Joe’s and it only took 33 minutes.  Not bad!

There was quite a gaggle of Canadians tonight, Mark and Karen (Edmonton), Truman and Marg (Vancouver), Mitri and Ed (Montreal), Cheryl and Lesley (Victoria) and Dick (Moncton).  Most of us were seated at the same table so we had some lively partisan conversations.  Most seemed to think that my suggestion of forming a Canadian Club would be a good idea.  Now I’m sorry I mentioned it.

Truman’s wife, Marg, said that the photo I took of her on her 75^th Birthday was the best photo ever taken of her, and she sent it to everybody she knew! 

Ed and Dick were very complimentary about their visit to the AAC and all the good we are doing there.  They were especially impressed with the way the kids all greeted us on their arrival.

Surprise news tonight, the bartenders John and Barbie announced that they were recently married, so I found it odd that Joe and Joseph did nothing to commemorate the occasion.  I was flattered that Barbie & John asked me to take their photo to use as their wedding photo.

The salad, Beef Wellington, and key lime pie were to die for tonight.  I made the mistake of having 2 salads and 2 Wellingtons, so I am hurting right now, but it is a good hurt.

We are up to 12 people for the photo trip Tuesday night and I should probably leave well enough alone but I will put a further ad in the GringoTree to try to get a few more procrastinators.  I think I only know 3 of the people coming….

A lazy day tomorrow, and I am looking forward to it.

That was today’s excitement.   Please see all photos at souvenircuenca.blogspot.com.  Hugs to all.
