Armadillo by morning. There
is a country song that I really like by George Strait and the title is Amarillo
by morning. If you have never seen it
you should at least once if you can google it.
Anyway at 8 this morning Jose knocked on our door to say that he had
trapped a live armadillo and wanted us to come over to see it. We got ready and went. It was large and fat and very
interesting. When we got home we had
another surprise- our utility bill was lying on our floor. It must have been slipped under our door
while we were out. Everyone else had
gotten theirs a few days ago and we thought we had missed ours but fortunately
still had time to pay it. We took Wicket
for a walk and then Charlotte went in Selectos to get a few more items for
dinner tonight with Julia. When we got
home I took the car to the shop just down from our house so they could remove
the front bumper to repaint it and put it on the car better. They said I could pick the car up after lunch
without the bumper. Charlotte informed
me we were out of stove gas again. We
had gotten one tank that only lasted a couple of weeks and we had kept
disconnecting it after using since we were smelling gas. This time the smell was present but not quite
as strong so we left the tank connected and it only lasted about 1 week. We decided that settled the matter and we
would go tomorrow to get a new stove.
Charlotte said we could also title this blog gassed. We went to Omar, Emile and Gisela at two and
studied till three. We had thought their
dad was going to be there at 2 to go look at a house. He was detained and so we studied first. Then it started pouring down rain and at 3
when he still did not come they said they knew where the house was and we could
ride up and see if anyone was there. It
was just pouring the whole time so I just went ahead and got soaked and
Charlotte tried to use the umbrella. The
house was small and ugly and not at all anything we would be interested
in. We dropped them back off and came
home to finish getting dinner ready. At
6 Charlotte and I went to pick up Julia.
She had her son and two adult grandsons sitting around and she was
making rabbit stew. She started making
excuses for not coming and I said it was up to her but this was a one-time
offer. She asked why in surprise and I
explained it was a lot of work to get dinner ready for someone and if they did
not come we would not go to that effort again and risk them not coming the next
time also. With that she finished the
stew and got dressed and came on. We
just had dinner and then took her back after about 1 hour because of all her
family. It was nice but she didn't eat
much. The one dish she really liked was
creamy broccoli and chicken casserole that I actually didn't so Charlotte sent
most of it home with her. I think it was
pretty different from what she was used to.
At 7 there was a knock on our door.
Regina and Pedro had escorted Zuleyma and Danielito home and stopped
back by to ask what had happened to our front bumper.
What a catch!
Armadilla for dinner?
Close up!
Trap without bait.
Bumper repairs in progress.
Dinner with Julia.
