Tuesday March 19/13  update #397

Bella was off to try to finish making her doll, then she was going for groceries.

Bella is getting ga good response to her descriptive ad on GringoPost about the new drop-in bridge club starting tomorrow.  She is getting lots of interest from folks who have not played in many years so that is a good start.  This is not a place for raw newbies who don’t even know how many cards are in each suit.

I uploaded more works for sale and headed to the Insurance office to try to pick up my documents.  This agent is very frustrating to reach, she doesn’t answer her phone, or return the call, and I think she only looks at her emails twice a week.  Anyway the darn office was closed at 1:30 and nobody was answering the door.   I sent her an email later that they can deliver the documents properly and I gave them directions.

Since I had an hour to kill I took a few shots along Solano and Diez De Agosto.

I had received a phone call from Emilie at Hearts Of Gold to bring my camera equipment again because Richard was going to be in attendance so they wanted a fresh group picture.   I welcomed this because I was not happy with the prior indoor efforts.  This time we took the photo under an overcast sky and the photo is very good.

Richard gave his thanks and his apologies to the group as he is so busy with investors in their new gold mining project.  His wife Sheryle is a great asset to our group and for helping organize the Auction.  Sheryle again praised me in front of the group for all the background work I have done so I was a little embarrassed at the extra attention.

HoG had much more printed material, brochures, cards, posters, etc to help us in soliciting donations for the auction.  I am really proud of the team that works so well together without everybody trying to be the boss. 

Upon arrival at home I had to do a Gift Certificate and Bid Sheet for a donation that Tamra received, process the group photo for everyone’s enjoyment, and was ready for supper.  Bella then gave me 3 more chores to do, find a photo to print, send her a friend’s email address, and scan a document problem she has with Immigration.  Finally I could get to my usual photo and Blog chores.  That is why I am late today.

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