This hard working man has been 
working on repairing this palapa
for several days. He has carefully
replaced all the broken or rotten parts
and is now weaving in new palm fronds.

Magpie Tales The Red Chair


Please visualize a red chair
in front of a deconstructed window
inside a ramshackle old building 
Until Google decides to fix it's glitch
I am unable to post any images.
Grr. Thanks for your patience.
Since I have none.**
**at long last I have figured out
 a sneaky work around so here's the image ....ta dah!
~~~~~~~~

I sit here 
In a red rage unable 
To communicate

~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is my favorite hour
One to relish and enjoy
Watching the power
Of the gently setting sun

~~~~~~~~~~

to actually see the red chair and read others posts
please go to Tess Kiincaid's Magpie Tales here:

Eric Alder's Monday Photo Prompt


photo by Eric Alder of Bifocalunivision



Dear Mother Nature
Please stop the rain
Bring out the sun
We ask in vain........
Our lakes are full
The rivers overflow
Enough with this
We have fields to mow.....

First- here's a lovely sunset photo taken by
the revered Don Roberto!
Our new friends Stan and Maggie left their
boogie boards with us...to pass onto
whoever we thought would get the best
use of them....but before they left-
Maggie got these great shots of us
playing on the boogie boards....Ready?
Set!
GO!
I am laughing so hard...so fun!

oooops........where'd I go?

Russell makes his landing.....

We had a great time playing in the surf...
Thanks Stan and Maggie!!!
When we left we passed them on to Jose Luis
who runs a little rental shack next to the Catalina...
Next year we'll buy some the first day we arrive.....ole!
