We scored

We think!

After the loungers were purchased we had such a hard time getting cushions. I remembered that at that store, there were some for Mexican style couches so I suggested that we check them out.

Back at the store, they sat there in two bundles with a price tag on one. Not knowing if the tag applied to one bundle or two we did the smart thing and asked. Sure enough, the price of $1990 pesos ($127 CDN) was for both.

Buy the way the pesos sign is the same as a dollar sign so it can create some confusion; especially as the prices down here can be so much lower for some things.

There were five cushions of each size and Rosalie only wanted two on her chair with the option to use a smaller one so it worked out well, and they look good.

I mentioned in an earlier post that the roads here are somewhat bumpy. Having almost run out of water, we loaded two empties into the back of the car to go get some. Just around the corner was a water truck so after waving him down we bought two bottles.

The road into town is pretty bumpy. After getting a beer at the beach and getting money from the bank we went home. Grabbing the handle of the first jug I noticed how light it was. It had shattered and there was a swimming pool in the wheel well of the trunk. Fortunately, when I took the spare out there were two rubber stoppers in the bottom so I hauled one out and the water drained away. All I had to do was wait for it to dry.

It’s been raining cats; luckily not dogs. Sitting on the patio minding our own business, there was a thump followed by kids giggling. Thinking it was a coconut falling I glanced over and found that the little monsters had thrown a kitten over the wall.

I could hear it crying for a while and then silence. I assume it had found a way out. Wrong! The next morning it showed up on the patio. I took it out the front gate several times but it kept following me back in. it’s a cute little cat but we don’t want to encourage it. One was sleeping on the patio last year and left dirty marks on the cushions. Also we don’t know what bugs it may carry.

Eventually, I took him around to the street behind the ranch and left him then I walked all the way around to discourage him from following. So far it seems s to have worked.
