Best to get the sad news over with ....
April's son died, of a heart attack, in Northern Washington, Saturday night. April arrived there on Thursday, since he had heart surgery scheduled for this Tuesday.
His name was Freedom. He was 40 years old. Send Love to April and her family and
Live every day as if it's your last, and one day you will be right.
The Yelapa Fishing Co operative received 3 new boat motors on Wednesday. Four stroke.
They are pumped up about that. Now lets get on with it ! The only one eating fish in my house is Lily, walking around on 4 legs ! Don't make me go to Pollo Bollo for my fish fix, although there's nothing wrong with that !but I like to save him for a chicken/rib fix !
The new BBQ Chicken stand up river is a huge hit ! Pollo Yo ! a Yelapa spin on Pollo Loco
( chicken crazy ) ... he has a motorcycle for delivery. I loved the owners Dad, Octavio, who
who died quite some time ago. I will give Hector the picture I have of his Dad, taken when he was way up the Rubber tree that used to be in front of my house ! He was a sweet sweet man. That's just what Yelapa needed, I think, and it's not competition for PB, since it's only take out and he closes at 4 pm everyday. Now all we need is a Deli ! and my other great idea, but that's still a secret !
The low has gone up to 20 ! The ocean breeze has warmed up and the water is calm. I can feel summer coming on, and I'm looking forward to it. I found a photo of my half sister's house in Newfoundland, taken this past Christmas, with 3 foot icicles hanging from her roof.
I brought it in to show the kids at school. That got their attention, for 2 minutes !
I remember those cold cold winters, when spring arrived around May 21, not March !
The bird action around here right now is wild, more so then usual. The Hawks are laying eggs, or eggs are hatching or something exciting is going on.
I attended the teacher/parent meeting at the school last Thursday. The grade 4 teacher invited me. There is an awful lot of wrestling, and jumping and rolling around, and that's in the classroom ! It was impossible to teach my class, so I left ! That got their attention too !
I went to the meeting for back up support and added my 2 centavos. The moms ( there were no dads) were all very responsive, and appreciate my efforts.. I don't know what they will do to try and get the kids to settle down. We/they may just have to wait and hope and pray they will grow out of it , sooner than later. The school has been so unsettled these past few months, but now we have 5 full time teachers, with one performing the job of Director as well. I can't wait to see what happens on Wednesday .... or can I ?
I am going to PV tomorrow ! The only thing pulling me is getting more photocopies for my classes, and visiting the shoemaker ! We can make photocopies here, but one at a time, and I suppose we'll never have a shoemaker , not too lucrative around here !
It is an incredible feeling not to have to go to Immigration , no MIGRA ever again.
I am blessed ... and grateful ...
I'm keeping real busy with 4 houses ! Delfin, Pepe, Dulce, ( that's me ) and Dulcita ( the casita ) ... March 31 is another magic number, move outs and move in, adios and benvenidos
it's also my Grandfather's birthday, he'd be 119 !!
Taking a vacation day today. Get caught up on my emails and phone calls and school work.
Reading some interesting books. The history of Women in Mexico, is one, fascinating.
Even how they walked was interpreted in the culture, too slow, too fast, too interested, too distracted, too hot, too heavy, etc. I've become so aware of that now, while walking to school.
Women are the spine, hands and legs of Mexico, and teachers should rule the world !
Have a Super Great Week !
