You may have heard that song on the radio (Pitball), it's one of our favorites (Jorja does a mean rendition). We have made our way back to the jungle! All our neighbors told us there was so many "gusanos" (centipede like things that are always coming in our house) on our porch that they were going to write out "Welcome Back" with them. Luckily our helper came and cleaned the day before our return so we found no unwanted visitors.
It is officially "windy season" which takes the edge of the heat and humidity and makes it quite nice actually (if it wasn't for the dust blowing everywhere). We literally rolled into town after too much Christmas eating in Houston (we may have eaten half a cow each at the Texas BBQ alone!) We were pleasantly surprised to find the roads significantly improved. How you ask? The infamous molasses along with a little grating. Yes, they actually do put some kind of molasses (Aunt Jemima?) on the road which sets up very much like pavement. We thought about tasting the stuff that fell off our car onto the driveway but it looked a little dirty. This is all great until it rains apparently and washes away. So here's hoping for no rain anytime soon as we are enjoying not having our brains jiggled out quite so much.
No Lindsay did not get the gift of walking for Christmas but is getting close. We packed home 4 big bags of "essentials" (toys) and actually fit all of it in our rental car (miracle). We have not got our truck back yet as its extended its vacation in San Jose (getting repaired) but its supposed to come on Monday.
Kids are having fun spending half the day in pajamas and playing with the neighbors. Terry could not help himself and is redesigning the backyard as we were gifted 3 tomato plants (yum!) which required rocks, logs, pots and an outdoor shower to showcase, of course. Don't worry I will post pick once the "vision" is complete.
New Year's resolution: Maybe we will sell our house this year, any takers?
