In this first picture, you see the table set for dinner on Valentine's Day (our first day there) . . . or, is it for Sunday (our second day there) . . . or, maybe it's for Monday (our third day there) . . . hmmmm . . . besides the six house guests, there were usually four or five other friends in to dinner – and a good time was had by all!
On Wednesday, at lunch, it's traditional for a large group to meet at a local establishment – outside! (eat your hearts out, you folks in the NorthWest!) – for tacos or similar lunch and general camaraderie.
Impression number two is the work obsession of the male householder – he has to be busy every (daylight) minute, doing something on their place . . . bricking in walkways and patios, putting clamshells on the driveway, building little alcoves here and there – I'm worried about his health in the future . . . there's no room left on the lot for any more projects, so what will he do? . . . and will his health suffer for lack of activity? Here's a picture of their home from the front, a picture of the south sideyard, and a picture of an interesting "establishment" in the backyard. [Given that all water has to be trucked in at no trivial expense, this, of course, makes a lot of sense . . . as well as being quite a conversation piece . . . ]
