New & old
Hola,
Crap, I left my coffee cup in the kitchen and now have to post without caffeine. Ugh.
So, it started raining a few days ago. The roads are starting to show a little rutting, the walk to lancha is muddy and has biting bugs, the truck is clean and our long lost cat, Skitters showed back up. Is it me or do you think it is time to watch Pet Cemetery again?
In other news, our much desired plank table is complete! We've wanted one of these for about 12 years. It is made of a single tree of perota wood- impervious to bugs- but not dogs. When we moved here and jettisoned our old table I was adamant about getting a "work table" instead of a dining table.
Oh well, we are again afraid of scratching. Especially since the dogs favorite place when we are gone is on the table looking for us.

even in paradise
You have those days. Those not so fresh feeling days. Bummer. I remember a book- Alexander and the terrible horrible no good very bad day Pretty much sums it up, no?
Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you.
Okay, need to channel it all into the positive side of things and not get too down on it.
On the plus side of things it was hotter than hell and quite humid. The check engine light is off in the truck. We are all healthy. Nothing really bad happened, just a bunch of little disappointments added up. Wahhhh. I feel the frog in the picture.
Really, the best thing is to tell everyone. It is against my typical retreat into the turtle shell and just dare anyone to ask if something is wrong. But somehow blogging feels the same as not saying anything. Maybe that just has to do with the quality of the writing...
Tomorrow is another day!
