Friday November 2/12  update #273

While waiting for my arrivals from Canada I heard some odd buzzing and looked out to see two planes/jets streaking back and forth in tandem across the sky.  From this distance it was tough to ascertain, but I am positive they are military judging from the payloads on the undercarriages.  I figure they are part of the Cuenca Anniversary celebrations happening this weekend.

Bella and Mavis arrived as expected around 1:30pm  and we set about the unpacking of 6 suitcases and 2 backpacks.  I can’t believe all the stuff they brought.  Our kitchen is now very well stocked with appliances and gadgets and spices, etc, although some items mysteriously never made it here.  Maybe the Customs guys like Hy’s Seasoning Salt too….

Bella took Mavis on a short walk in the neighborhood and it was comical how they witnessed a puppy vs rooster confrontation almost outside our front window.  A silly puppy was no match for the upset rooster!

I made a pasta supper and everybody settled down.   I spent 3 hours setting up Bella’s new laptop which was a bargain for about $380.  I get so frustrated with the newer versions of Windows where you can’t find anything any more.  I installed Firefox and Google Chrome so hopefully we never have to use Windows crap.

I have much to do with some of my old software that Bella brought along and not enough time.

Tomorrow promises to be very busy with the Anniversary celebrations in full swing.

We have now been in Cuenca officially for 1 year today….

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