January - A Month in Pictures

It seems whenever we talk to people we hear "We like your pictures." So, you can choose to browse these if you'd like. 

This month has been a bit restrictive with the constant rain.  Even the local people have begun to complain and when I wore my boots to church the other night I was accosted more than a few times by people asking for boots - or asking for MY boots.  (I'm still shaky with translating so need to be careful what I agree to!)  However, we have had many good, good opportunities to catch up and as always, snap a few pictures.

First weekend things:




Tamales are celebration food. Our next door neighbour brought us tamales to celebrate our return. The next day we had tamales at the church for  New Year's Eve. Suyapa brought us tamales the next day for New Year's Day.  We had a tamale fest!

Kid things:

Karla has made a pair of pyjama pants.














Carlos is a careful sander and painter, and has worked on our flower beds.  










Our two new English class students, Chris and Elvin.

English practice, Rosetta Stone and then a few games of UNO.
A great rainy afternoon.
Son Rise things:




Remember our former Eat and Study Group?
Now they meet at Son Rise where the group has doubled.


Full house at a recent 3-evening conference.
Congratulations to Lionel and Maria married at Son Rise on Feb. 2.
Sunday Fun Things:

We ran into Winston and Nancy - neighbours down the road from our farm.
Water taxi home.





Odd things that drive me crazy:

Why is it that there are so many single shoes scattered along the side of the road?
It's Universal things:

Playing in the puddles.


YouTube

The Elders at the gate.




Peppa Pig on TV.

Peppa Pig on backpacks.

T-shirt - "I don't need Google - my wife knows everything."
So, great to know that wherever you go, women are smart!


Back yard Olympics.

 Different Things:
Oranges are peeled with a knife and sold whole by street vendors. They make a great visiting gift.

Washing clothes in rainwater run-off.



My Favourite-Flower Things:

Meri and last year's poinsetta.

Sun-flowers along the path.

A special flower for you! It won't be long till spring. Really,.
