Happy Day

Well yesterday was my 11th anniversary of living in Mexico. WOW.

And you know what?

I forgot to celebrate.!.!.!

But maybe that's an OK thing, cause I was just too busy doing other stuff. Let me tell you about it......

My really great Mexican friend Jorge came out to the castle with his son Lester (what the heck kind of Mexican name is Lester anyway?) to work on a project for school. Well that's totally cool with me, so out to my wood shop we go.

Well Lester has his plan and his material that they bought in town and Jorge always has 3 ideas to make it better, that NEVER work out as re-planned. And I just can't keep my mouth shut, so I put in my 2 cent's worth along the way.

Upshot of it all;

Lester's the happiest teen you could imagine.

Jorge kept all of his fingers.

I kept my patience.

The project got made with 12 copies for classmates.

We filmed it all.

I wasn't lonely for 4 or 5 hours.

Lester says he's so lucky to have his crazy Canadian engineer/carpenter uncle.

And my poor old long suffering dog is mad at me because we ate dinner at 9 at night. Tough I say, school comes first.

DC...it's all my fault. There is just too much to do around here for one man with only 2 hands to get done in a day. I just haven't taken the time to water. Too busy with other things.
But actually, that photo was taken in the dry season as you can see, it's much greener now and fruit is popping out all over the place.

cool
Mexico is very nice this time of the year and the sunset's are beautiful.My sister keep's posting all her pictures on Facebook of the sunset's there..laugh
I love bananas banana banana banana

Is yours tasty? Errrrr.....I mean, what breed is your banana...blushing

I'd normally get my supply from the local market. I try to avoid buying bananas from the mall coz they are really tasteless barf
I have 3 or 4 different ones. I only know the name of 1. It's called a 'manzana' like an apple cause it's real short and sort of fat, but real sweet and nice.
The only real big banana around here is ME...

banana ..................doh
the sunsets are magnificent....but best enjoyed by 2...alashug
Red, you're right.

Good times go fast

Bad times drag.

I must be having fun

Just get a little lonely now and then.

Nicer to cook for 2

Easier to clean up with 2

But maybe then time would move even faster

That would be a disaster

doh
Yes viking it's always nice with someone else to share it with..hug
