Muchacho Polaco

We filled Matt’s trailer twice today with tree limbs. The olive tree in the front was a load in itself. But it looks real nice now. We hope to get a trailer like this in the next couple weeks so I can do weekly loads to the dump. It’s endless.

Some how Scout is still alive. He fell in the pool the other day and was not able to get out on his own. Fortunately Yun was near by, but it was taxing enough that he wasn’t able to stand up later. If it happens when we are not home, it’s over for him. We are hoping for a peaceful exit, but he’s deaf and mostly blind, so I guess we will see.

Palm tree roots destroy all – including water lines. We spent our day digging up the old line that brought water to the pool. It helps to have a jack hammer with shovel attachment. We spent all day on this project and finally prevailed in the end. I replaced the damaged lines.

Our pool is aroun 10k gallons, so this makes the process of filling much easier as evaporation is constant.

We spent the day with no particular itinerary, but ended up visiting sites we haven’t seen for many years. We started up A Mountain. This is a place we went when we first met each other. Then we toured the other homes we’ve lived over the past 20 years.

I don’t have opportunity or ability to nap much any more. However, today was a nice exception and I woke to a pretty perfect amount of sunlight coming through the windows.

Sergio came for a visit this last weekend from HMO.

We celebrated Emma and Letty’s bdays on Sunday. This is the first time J & L have come down from Phoenix to visit.

We try to walk the dogs daily but sometimes it’s not possible. When that’s the case they find other ways to entertain themselves.

The monsoons hit hard tonight. The rain poured for hours. In the end, we cleaned the pool deck in preparation for tomorrow. While we were doing that, we had this glorious view.
