three things

What a week . 

There are 3 things about living in Yelapa that make me uncomfortable .
There are lots of things that irk me, and that I'd like to change ... to my way !! ...
but since I'm not in charge of everything, i can let go of any minor irritations ... like bugs ...
I grew up in the North, on the shore of Lake Superior, so I know how to cope.

The number one issue that can be unsettling living in a Palapa in Yelapa, is any creature can
jump in, or climb in , or open the door and walk in, and that's what happened Wednesday night !! At 3:00 am I woke to see a figure leaning over my kitchen table, obviously going through my things.  WoW .
At first I thought I was dreaming. or that Gregorio came back early, but I jumped up,
grabbed the golf club next to my bed and chased him out !!  Hooray for me !
He stole a pack of cigarettes and 3 lighters.  I made my report on Friday, since the Deligado was in Tuito all day Thursday.  We shall see what happens, probably nothing.
I didn't see the man's face, but I got a good look at him.  I'm going to follow up tomorrow.
It's the #1 thing I don't like about Yelapa. 

We are full into summer now.  Big storm this morning, so much rain in the house, I was kept busy for over an hour with the squeegee.  You gotta laugh, with the wind whipping everything around, I'm trying to get the curtains down and secure, and trying not to slip on the slick sauve floor... and trying to make coffee !!  and feed Lily ... thankfully the sun came out early enough and I was able to dry out the mop and towels, so I can use them again,
tomorrow !?

And the bugs ... coming out of the wood work !  literally.  But the view is beautiful still, and it
has been cool with these last few storms .  We  haven't had " the big one " yet .
The power went off last night at 9:00 pm, and it was calm and quiet, no rain., but it didn't go off in the storm this morning !!  go figure.

A new guy in town makes Organite ... he mixes stones and crystals and other elements into a mold, and mixes it with resin.  We were all a little sceptical at first, but mine works !
I felt the relief in the pain in my foot, right away. I have been using it for the last few days,
and I can feel the energy moving through my body , no joke !!  
As you can tell, he fits right into this crazy place !!

The river is wide, and has broken through to the ocean.  The kids are surfing, and enjoying the best of what Yelapa has to offer, freedom !  School is over next week, so the energy in
town will change once again.  I'm looking forward to it.

Mimi and I are playing hide and seek.  She has done so much work at her place, you won't believe it !! Still a long way to go, and everything we do here requires those 10 extra steps,
so it's all poco y poco.

Silverio came for 2 mornings this week, and we really did a lot of cutting and planting.  The yard is really taking shape, and in another 3 or 4 or 8 years, it'll be " finished"  and wonderful.  I planted Agave and Cactus below the deck, for a little extra security .
We cut the Mango tree back and got a bucket full.  I had to wrap them all up and put them in the oven until they ripen, maybe 10 days or so.  I'll have to get busy and creative, since you can't give them away, everyone has a bucket full !! I've also been scavenging other gardens, and with permission of course, and have oodles of red ginger to plant.  

I have taken lots of pictures, but haven't had the time to edit. I'll do that manana ...
I'll include some photos of the school graduation, whenever that is ...

In the meantime, I wish I could pop up to Langley tomorrow, and be a part of the Canada Day Party ... I'm definitely up there in spirit ....

Have fun everybody .... I'll share my two other Yelapa issues next week ...
