on a walkabout in the neighborhood...

morning visit and coffee... in the sunshine. (dale and jerry chilcote)
nick (oldest son of wisdoms) got up at 5:30 and it was chilly...it had rained hard all night. so he built a cozy fire in their beautiful fireplace in the kitchen. it was a nice place to sit and drink coffee first thing in the morning...
while it was still sunny, we went out for a walk around the neighborhood renee, carol, jerry and i.
past banana trees and coffee fields...
and beautiful wrought iron decorations on the gates and houses...
this house caught my attention...the tiled, gazebo-like roofs. and on the blue round roof, a clear bubble skylight...
this house was beautiful brickwork and of course the little second-story porch caught my eye!! ... i liked this one a lot.
and flashy beauty in every yard and garden. a lovely walk, with a few hills thrown in for exercise.
we had clothes out on the line drying. it's a gamble...you never know if it will stay sunny for long enough in the morning to actually dry anything. it had clouded up after our walk and i asked renee: when was the cue to bring the clothes in before the rain started. she said: anytime...it's not going to clear off and they probably won't get any dryer. we had just brought them in when the downpour began. makes things a little muddy but it keeps it cool too.
all our love to each and every one of you!! we are really enjoying ourselves. but the spanish lessons.... please keep praying for us!! our old brains certainly aren't sponges anymore!!!
HUGS!!!!
