A BRAND NEW WEEK!


The weekend was fun- our date to Lil Tampico was very fun.  Just the thought of getting a little dressed up and going out was worth it all.  We were somewhat disappointed in the Mexican menu.........we were  looking for ethnic fair and got a very American version.  The folks were very nice so all was not lost.

The folks at the Faith Community we see on sundays for church are starting to call us regulars!  Think I might join the ladies for their tuesday gathering tomorrow.  I will report on that later.

Today was bread baking day.  Yet another receipe from the internet.... looks pretty fine as I just pulled it out of the oven.........small loves but smell really good.  Homemade pizza for supper.  One thing is for sure we continue to eat well.

The guys did start on the motor  mounts today, which have to be redesigned.  I will add a picture of the new panel Claes was working on.

I finished my fifth book last night.  I think I will have to give you a report on some of these books!  Wow!  This one was amazing.  I must admit I had little reference to most of these books I have brought along.......either picked them at random as the second hand store in Coutenay or at the sale table at Jacobs' Well  but I have certainly been entertained with some amazing writing.  I highly recommend any of them to you and would enjoy hearing your comments.  I will begin the sixth book today: A Suitable Boy  by Vikram Seth which was highly recommend by Patricia Girard. (my niece and friend in Issaquah)  It has over 1200 pages which will take a while to read and report to you!

Well folks  should get the pizza ready.  Thank you all again for staying tune in to this adventure.  We promise the pace will change soon and the stories will provide a little more entertainment than what we are having for supper.   HAHAHA!

WHAT TO BRING HOME FROM OUR TRAVELS?

As we travel Panama   as in other  countries there are many many tourist spots  with "things"to buy and bring home  to you all.   Ahh! the decision are many  and can get rather difficult.   Sometimes the memorabilia is best bought with the person making the memory--if you know what I mean.  We do love to shop at least some of us. LOL   The thrill really is in the hunt right ladies?  and for us grandmas  it is an exercise of love for the "kidz"".  As this Abula searches for just the right color or item I think of the child I am shopping for:  the joy of remembering the voice, the smile and the bright eyes ........ahhhh so sweet!   There are a few authentic crafts here in Panama such as  the Embera Baskets made in the Indian Community  the Emberá basket is a one-of-kind piece and is the result of many hours of labor as well as an expression of the artist's own individu...

MEMORIES……….are made of this!

  I woke up today with a touch of a sore throat; not sick enough to make a request for light duty but uncomfortable to the point of not wanting to do much. I forced myself out of the bunk. You know how it is-- if you sleep during the day --night comes sleepless! Not wanting to waste the day sniffing and drinking tea .. i do prefer coffee……I attempted to keep myself busy with my chores. My interest quickly waned and I found myself at my desk……I began sorting through the small cupboard that acts as our filing cabinet. Yes, reminding me of the past  boat rule: all items must have two purposes which now  applies to our land home……here in the Comox Valley.   As I thought  of past years piled high within these  files of book work and accounts for our lives i managed a smile and reached  into the back section of the  cabinet.     I knew there was one file that held no numbers;  this plain ivory colored manila folder secured wi...
