Friday January 11/13 update #339
I did my photographic chores while Bella went to do her
charity work at the weaving store. I had
offered to stay home today for Rosa ’s arrival
for cleaning so Bella could join her regular Friday bridge club but she begged
off. I never thought I would hear her
say that it is just “too much bridge” at the moment, taking into account her
lessons have re-started for another group too.
Lots of details to nail down for my trip next Thursday to
North America, airlines, transportation, hotels, what to bring, what to buy,
digging up addresses and phone numbers, on and on…. This is all going on paper because I can’t
rely on my old brain to retain all this.
I had no idea it would take me most of the day to organize this alone.
I spoke to my Mom only to find out that one of my Montreal
Uncles passed away a while back then his son also expired later. It is strange that nobody informed us about
this at all so I am trying to get the details to pass this on to my email list
of interested family members.
I only had time to work on 3 more Pase del Nino photos
before rushing to catch a bus for supper.
Bella made reservations at California Kitchen for baby back ribs, her
favourite, and we were joined by Oswaldo and Cathy. Oswaldo speaks excellent English as he lived
in Toronto for
16 years. Cathy speaks little English
but is an avid bridge player that seems to be a good fit with Bella. They needed to get settled on a convention to
follow for their bidding so they can be a deadly combination. Cathy may return to the Cuenca bridge Club with Bella and try to kick
the butts of the presently male-only establishment.
They had some nice soft jazz playing right next to us so it
was a trifle loud for us to converse but we managed to have a lot of
laughs. Oswaldo is looking for help
with Canada
pension questions so Bella has promised to help him with that. They drove us home and came in for a tour of
our mansion.
That was today’s excitement.
Hugs to all. Please see all photos at http://souvenircuenca.blogspot.com/
