It has been a very busy week. It seems the holidays are always hectic, no matter where you go, or what you try to do. Tasi, my daughter, arrived 3 hours late, and we talked until 3 am. Up at 6 to come home for Christmas. Tasi couldn’t sleep in the car as she usually would, the scenery is too awesome. 

We got home at 8:30 and had a wonderful Christmas. Marvin and his family welcomed Tasi with a big luncheon party, then we went to the river to swim. Even Marielos, Marvin’s wife came. That’s the first time she came with us. After that, we went to the beach, and after a small dinner, we took Tasi to the bar for Karaoke. The music was still going strong at 11 when I gave up and we came home so I could get some sleep. Now that she knows some young people, she’s 20, they can look after taking her to the bars and the beach and parties. It takes some of the pressure off the old man. I did take her shopping, her favorite sport, with Linda one day, and we went to the beach again. She is keeping busy.

Some of the week’s events in brief. The electricity is ready for inspection, the septic tank filled and got pumped, the dog picked up a thorn in his paw and blisters on his nose causing much pain and a high fever but a trip to the vet has him on the road to recovery, I have Internet access at home but it doesn’t work yet and now it’s New Year’s eve. More adventures next year, no doubt.
