I haven’t posted a blog for a few days. It’s not as though I don’t have much to say it’s just that I either keep forgetting or I’m too busy.
On Halloween Valentine’s day, we went down to the other complex and had dinner with the gang over there. Barb and Dave were invited so I picked them up and took them with us. As always with those guys down there, a great time was had and the food and company were great.
All of Rosalie’s family have arrived so we have been busy visiting them. There was a get-together at the location where Vic, Suzanne, Dedee and Marina stay. It was a Greek night as friends, John and Johanna, are from Greece and they made delicious beef Souvlaki skewers for each person.
There is a lot of time spent at Papa Gallo’s lately as Gordie and Giselle like to go there so we feel obligated to go. (Yeah, right.) A day was arranged to take Barb and Dave to Boca de Iguana for lunch. Arriving at 11:30, we found they didn’t open until 1:00 so had to turn around and go to Mary’s at Colimilla, across the lagoon from Barra instead. It was a long drive for lunch but well worth it.
Rosalie and I decided to invite the whole family and a few friends over to our Casa for a potluck party on the roof. I started the day by raiding the complex down the road of a lot of their chairs and a long folding table. In the meantime, Rosalie was cooking up a storm with her Chilis Rellenos casserole.
Then I had to take all our tables and chairs from downstairs up to the roof. Later, after dropping some of the girls off at the market I picked up Gordie and Lorne along with a few more chairs and we came home to organize things. The girls came back later to rearrange things to their liking as I had put some things in the wrong place.
There were twenty of us and had a great time. As we were the only ones with a car, I ran a taxi service to get a lot of them here and then ran the closer ones home afterward. I find that with helping Rosalie and running around I don’t seem to drink too much so I could drive okay. There is a taxi driver we can call any time so we can get all the taxis we need.
Everyone seemed to go home too early but it was still a good time. Afterwards, Rosalie and I sat and had a few glasses of Agavero, a tequila liquor.
The next morning I had to return all the captured chairs and the table. Then rearrange all our stuff to get things back to normal until the next party. It’s a lot of work but we love doing it.
At the end of it all, I was a bit pooped, but happy.
