Company Comes a Calling

It's been so great this summer to be able to continue to see our "Amigos Mexicanos" on U.S. turf! Take Alex and Judy up here for the summer. They have cooked for us, we have cooked for them and we have gone out to eat! I think we have a few more visits in us before we all start heading back down for the winter where we will start having fun all over again!

Tried to talk Judy and Alex into buying a boat, but that didn't work out. Good thing, too, not sure Judy looks ahead while steering and that could prove to be problematic!

It was a great finish to the evening when Pam and Rick dropped by to chat before heading home for the week.

This past weekend Doug and Carla and Alex and Judy were in town so we decided to all meet at the Harvest Festival in Pleasanton. You may think that these are "real" comedians on stage, but they actually are Doug and Steve! What a crack up!!!

I'm Warning You!

Keep yer eyes open cause Steve has a new camera! If you thought things were bad before, look out! Steve's new camera is bigger, fancier and can catch you from afar!

We're Still Here!

Is This scary or what? I will call this storm "Miss J" because if I call her by her real name, our blog will be there for the world to see! I posted this picture to put "Miss J" in perspective as everyone keeps asking about our properties. Luckily Mike and Jeanette were in Asuncion going right into action getting windows boarded up and things tied down. As it turned out, it was all for naught as we hardly got a drop of rain there! Mike and Jeanette reported temps of 102 degrees with hummidity, at times, of 100%!

La Paz on the other hand did get plenty of wind and rain (one estimate of 12" in one day) but nothing devastating. Power was lost in places and trees were downed. Now starts the clean-up!
