ready for a visit!

Well, tomorrow will be three weeks here and although all our furniture hasn't been delivered nor all the curtains done, we DO have a sofa bed ready in the guest bedroom. So, come for a visit we have the sofa bed and a blowup mattress! Our routine is somewhat the same for now. I cook dinner - remember big meal is at noon - with soup and segundo and do some cleaning or washing in between in the morning. We did get a nice size microwave yesterday so in the evening I can warm up any leftovers for our light supper. Daniel has been coming and going buying things we need and helping tio Jorge install lights, shelves, etc. Once the house is pretty well set up it'll be interesting to see how he fills his time. Both of us will soon need something specific to do to challenge us. As soon as our living room furniture arrives - hopefully early next week, and a suitcase with some additional curtains and items for the house arrives with our friend Josh tomorrow, we'll take some pictures. I am anxious to get some plants potted and flowers on the front entrance and on our back patio. Daniel has been playing raquet ball on Saturday mornings with Tio Adrian and some of his friends , but is ready to find someone to play tennis with - and a place nearby.
Tomorrow - Friday - our friend Josh from the Saginaw Church arrives and we will go to the airport to meet him. Sunday we'll go to church with him and then on Tuesday have him and his finance over for dinner. Our first USA visitor. Who wants to be next?
We're thinking about buying a car. The traffic is unbelievable here and so I know I will have to sit on my hands and tape my mouth shut - I'm practicing now with the taxis. I swear the cars come an inch away from crashing. The bigger the car the more right of way it has. So I'm thinking we need to buy a tank! Grandma Centellas is doing well, eating everything I cook. I'm working really hard on making a variety of types of soups. She eats no beef, no rice, very few noodles. I have found some whole wheat noodles here though. Sometimes I makie a separate meal for her and steak and rice for us. Well, enough rambling for today. Hope to hear from you who read this.

  • I'm so glad you guys are settling in all right. We can't wait to visit! I'm also looking for someone to play racketball with here. I'm soooooo out of shape, it's sad. But I'm playing soccer every Monday now, w/ some of the "younger" faculty.

    Let us know when you have a PO box, so we can send you little things. I'll try to call sometime this weekend, maybe. I'm going to Philadelphia (too briefly) for a conference, and will see Andy along the way in Wilmington.

    Ciao!
