I’m having a problem with
accessing the Internet on the Dell computer that Barb Contreras so nicely
loaned me. Not sure what the
problem is – maybe it’s just really slow or probably there are connection
issues.
As soon as my ankle swelling
went down I started walking each morning and I think I’ve overdone it … I
didn’t sleep well last night; had some back / leg pain – took an aspirin but
still couldn’t fall asleep until after midnight. Feel better this am; wonder if I should wait a day to walk
again – yesterday 2+ miles easy walk but then I baked and cooked for the
barbecue last evening and cleaned house – ugh – the upholstery and rug. Will have to attack this issue when I
can get materials for help – vacuum, upholstery cleaner, rug shampoo, etc.
It’s nice to wake up to quiet
and a pretty patio garden. It
rained last night, just a sprinkle but I covered things on the patio with a new
tarp from Rodriguez’s ($100 = $8.33).
I’m letting Lincoln out whenever he wants to go except later in the
evening so I won’t have to keep opening the door to check on his return. During the day he jumps on the screen
door and comes in the little “window” around the door handle. If it’s not open I can hear him on the
screen so I open it for him and he joins us. Eleanor still has little to no interest in going out and I’m
relieved because she would be more prone to wondering off due to her feral
nature. I really think she has an
infection of some kind in her mouth – teeth, gums, etc. I really can’t see anything but she has
a malodorous breath and she occasionally appears to be in pain when eating
anything that requires chewing.
I’d like to take her to a vet but it’ difficult to find one who’ll treat
a cat! Interesting!

This is high country, the
immediate region is hilly but it’s very easy to see off into the distance; it’s
surrounded by higher mountainous areas; the altitude here is 6500+ feet. The RV park of 3 hectares – with an
additional 1-hectare across the road for farming – is quite flat and grass
covered. Barb and Sal have planted
many, many trees - pines,
flowering, shade and have left some beautiful old trees – one is an oak like
tree I see here in Mexico and Guatemala – it’s huge: probably 30-40 feet tall with a branch span of thirty feet
and a trunk of giant girth. It
reminds me of old oaks in California (like at the ranch) and also plane trees
in France (Aix en Provence, etc.) and Europe, or maybe the gigantic trees I saw
from time to time in India.. [I
found out that Sal, himself, planted it when he was a child – so it’s about 50
years old]. A rock wall delineates the park’s perimeter, hand built like so
very many wall fences in Mexico, about 4-5 feet tall. Barb is saddened by the construction of a Pemex station
right “next door” to the park; but last evening I told her I think it may possibly
bring more business to the park.
She said few visitors pass who aren’t specifically looking for this RV
park – I guess we’ll have to wait to see what effect is will have on the
serenity of this little bit of heaven.
I've become fascinated with the appearance of the sky when I'm living at a high
altitude. It feels like I can reach up and touch a cloud.
Today, as yesterday, is a little
overcast so far. It makes for a
good day to read, knit, dream, relax.
A couple who I’d met the first two days I was here, Paula and Jerry Gale
from Nova Scotia, returned last evening and we ate dinner together at the
barbecue. They invited me to visit
them in Nova Scotia if / when I drive there (4,000 miles from here or from
British Colombia – for me in California it’d be closer to 5,000). I’m still interested in traveling
across Canada in the summer months and would love to see Nova Scotia and
Newfoundland as well as the Eastern seaboard of the US, leaving for warmer
climes in the late Fall. I’d have
to do some planning to afford that.
