Back home again, in Mexico

Saturday was an unload day. I wanted to get finished by tomorrow if possible so I could move the coach. The main reason was to put weeds, etc., out on the curb so they could be picked up Monday. We noticed two plastic trash bags full of weeds when we arrived yesterday. We went to see how the neighbors were and learned that he had hired his grandsons to pull weeds for us. They told us the place was overrun and the boys had nothing else to do since they couldn’t go fishing. He thought pulling weeds was better than sitting around. Evelyn had decided I needed a haircut, so we went to Nuevo Progreso. We went to Gloria’s and I got a haircut and we both had pedicures. I also had a tamale that Gerson was having for lunch, and it was so good that I bought a dozen. The manager makes them. We went back and stopped at the dentist and I made an appointment to have my false tooth adjusted. It had come out while I was eating during the summer. We also went to a liquor store and bought a liter of Bailey’s Irish Cream. (I discovered we had one when we got home.) We had brought a pull cart that Evelyn had used to pull books at the university, so I took it and an empty case of Negra Modelo beer to replace it with a full one. The distance from the liquor store to the car is nearly a quarter mile and the case gets heavy. We also found the cheapest place to buy Kahlua for Shirley. She wants me to find out whether it is legal to ship it from Texas to Indiana. I don’t know how to find out but will try Monday. We came home and I ate two tamales and some chili while Evelyn finished some clam chowder. We went back to carrying in many items, some of which we had forgotten we had brought and some things we had worried were lost. We spent some time going through the mail and found at least one bill that I will pay on line. We finally rested a bit during the evening while the laundry was finishing up. We were tired but looking forward to worship tomorrow.
