25 Jan, Wed

Wed, 25 Jan i apologize for the delay in posting anything to my blog. i've been busy (imagine that), and haven't been able to get to the internet .... Madi returned yesterday from Chetumal. she was sick most of the time she was there and still was not feeling well when she arrived. she did come in and finished her scarf that she started over a week ago. i think she was pleased with the result. i worked on projects all day again today, weather continues to be hot and sunny. and i continue to be amazed at how dirty i get, and how wonderful that cold shower feels !!!!! ..... honest, i do like it ! Patti from Canada arrived yesterday to stay at Madi's. the 3 of us went to a Cuban restaurant where Manuel (the guy who helped with the roofing project), just started working. we wanted to eat at Wish Willy's so we just had a Mojito, ... an expensive Mojito at B$12, (a rum and coke is B$5) ... and it was just so-so ... : ( on our way to Wish Willy's we passed these 2 little guys going down the street on their bicycle cart. the littlest one had the task of making sure no eggs were broken during the trip. then we went to Wish Willy's for dinner. he knows us pretty well by now, so when we get there, he just brings us dinner, we don't even need to order. it's always wonderful and this time he brought us 2 pitchers of rum punches as well, and we sat around a visited with him until closing. he offered to take us out on his boat on Sat for a snorkel trip. i'm not sure i can afford the time off my last day at Madi's ... we'll see how things go. when i got home, i put the fixative on my 'abstract' scarf.
