Rainy days

This was the backdrop as the doggy dogs played yesterday. Because we were in a palapa, we (people and dogs) didn't get wet, but enjoyed Mother Nature rolling in and out amongst us. To be repeated this week!

Bearing fruit

Not all fruits are obvious. Above are the seeds of a non-cocount bearing palm. Similar palms' seeds are treated as nuts, cocoyol, and boiled in honey for the holidays.
Fruits are now setting on the mystery plant in my garden. It is indeed a papaya.

The fruits are tiny now. But with the rains, growing daily. Is is a yummy papaya or a so-so papaya? I'll let you know soon, I hope.
Tonight is the big Lora's First Anniversary bash. We went last night for a site survey, and she said it was fine. Doggy Daddy Miguel open up a can of dog food and was amazed at how fast she woofed it down.
I wrapped dog treats, chews and cat treats to sell as fundraisers for Amigos los Animales and PEACE-Isla Mujeres. And this morning, Jose and I put a few more fliers out and then he disposed of gasoline/thinner from cleaning the generator and washed out the can. I did a load of laundry and hung it since the low front that has hung here for a few days is scheduled to move on.
Jose also cleaned the roof and washed some pool filters. I made us eggs with chaya and pepper jack cheese, tomatoes and chilis. And we split a bagel. He's getting the hang of them now!

Party Animal!

Lora has been working on invitations to her 100 peso fundraiser anniversary-with-Zina party! Anna Douglas of PEACE, the community foundation, has done the flier layout and we'll be distributing them the rest of the week. And since the anniversary isn't until 7pm Sunday, there's plenty of time to get the word out!
The 100 peso event will benefit the community foundation, PEACE, and Amigos los Animales.
Tomorrow Jose and I will go to Walmart to get some pet treats to resell at the event, so vacationers will have access to better treats for their favorite strays.
Jose did more painting and cleaning yesterday before we got out the bucket and dog soap. Yep, the anniversary girl will be sporting a better look than two brushings a day can give.
I watched Sun Dogs again last night, the movie we'll be showing. Those are street dogs used in the Jamaica Dog Sled team and one looks a lot like my doggie.
But as Jose remarked, Lora has enjoyed a house dog life now and probably wouldn't take to pulling someone else's load! !
