I cannot believe I’ve forgotten
to blog / write my ten minutes for three days in a row. I just set a daily alarm – harp playing – on my iPhone to
remind myself. It’s not as if it’s
a difficult task, for Heaven’s sake!
I’m currently waiting for
Victor, a carpenter in Valle de Juarez, to come and take a look at my RV for some
shelving I’d like installed.
[I must think of an appropriate name for my Dolphin – Flipper, or
something Spanish, or ????] I’d
like to change the usability of my only closet from a hanging closet where all the
hangers fall off the rod EVERY time I move the RV, to a shelved closet – maybe
three wooden shelves, giving four levels of storage.
Possible shelving discussions with Victor:
*closet – as above
*bathroom closet wall and / or under cabinet shelf/ves for
bathroom necessities
*kitchen – behind burners: spice rack, two shelves high and deep
enough for garlic powder
container
*loft – shelf at each end for
books, etc.
*over window shelves?? – affixed
to the bottom of the installed cabinets – problem with light fixtures – may
only have one over couch in the middle of the cabinetry or???
I walked 2 miles+ on the ‘track’
around the RV park this am. Not
fast – very relaxed with stops to talk with Ruth and Kevin, both 51 years old,
who’ve been adventuring since 2007.
They’re not retired; they just downsized a lot and take jobs from time
to time, like this coming summer they’ll be working at a camp in Canada where
they’ll be given free housing and a small salary.
Also talked with Barb, the
owner, who’s a gem and Peter and Madeline (he’s German, she’s Quebequoise), who
‘live’ next door to me.
I’m becoming interested in
revamping my ‘budget;’ or should I say ‘creating’ a budget. With my monthly income, I should be able to
save some money and enjoy a lifestyle that’s quite comfortable and adventurous each and every month.
We have a new Pope – Pope
Francis – from Buenos Aires, a Jesuit.
I pray for his success in curing the Catholic Church of its many woes
right now…. Pedophilia, homosexuality and the gay marriage issues, birth control, rigidity
of mores, etc.
Today is Malia and Samantha’s 13th
birthday. My youngest
grandchildren are teenagers! And,
Samantha became the first of the four 13 year old granddaughters to 'become a woman' if you know what I mean. Received a newsy email from Kari last night including the fact that Avery has passed 5’10” and is on her way to her great grandmother's 6'1" cuerpo. She’s got lots of growing time left!!!
3/13/13 New Pope elected
3/12/13 First vote of papal
conclave – black smoke – no new Pope
3/11/13 I haven't mentioned the outcome of my clumsy fall going out of the RV in Villa Corona. Well, Sunday morning I could hardly walk, certainly not without a considerable limp. That body twist turned out to be a really sprained / twisted ankle - mucho swelling and all and it's more painful today than yesterday!
