Well, it is finally here, the last day of the disastrous 2020!  Happy New Year everyone!

I was out early this morning with the 4 dogs and did encounter Charlie, Amiga and the old homeless man.  Still no sign of Negro.  Following my chores, I had a quick nap and we got ready to go into Tulua.

Cristina is on a diet so we dropped off the plantains to Auntie Nativa and picked up diapers for Mom, Ana Julia.  I made another stop to buy another small floor fan because the dogs wrecked our oldest floor fan in their excitement and rage at a big dog visiting the food and water Cristina puts outside.  Personally, I think we end up feeding the neighbours’ dogs, not strays….

First, we hit HomeCenter to find a few things, like another lying weigh scale, another hummingbird feeder, after-shower floor towels (not sure of the right name), and more batteries.  Then we went into LA14 that were checking cedula numbers to be sure we could enter.  I went to the stationery section to get a 2021desk diary.  They had hundreds of scribblers, notepads, etc but not one diary….  I don’t know what Latin America has against calendars and diaries.

We made a quick stop at Miguel and Adiela’s to drop off the diapers.

I went to fill the new hummingbird feeder but was stymied by not finding any sugar in the house.  Remember LA14 did not have a single bag of sugar on my last shopping trip…  So I walked up one block to the Andaluz grocery and got brown sugar and a few big sausages for the dogs.  I should have remembered to buy cotton for their ears for tonight.

I took a few photos for you, processed them, and then started to move all the year 2020’s photos onto my oldest, still old reliable, external hard drive, almost 1 TB full now.  At last count, as you will see, we have at least 3 adult and 3 baby Golden Silk Spiders out back.

Cristina went to the Farmacia to get drops to help the dogs sleep through tonight.  Then she called to see if a payment went through our account.  They had problems with the payment machine running out of paper.....  Goodbye 2020... we won't miss you.

 


Again, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021 everyone.  We wish you all good health, happiness, and prosperity.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.

Well, we saw the homeless old guy back at his usual location this morning so that was a big relief.  Our biggest concern now is Negro who we haven't seen in quite a while now.

Cristina was out on the Chappy quite often today with visits to the cemetery, to the vet Huellas, and to cut Victor Hugo's hair.  I did not venture out because it is not our pico-placa authorized day.  Maybe tomorrow we will make a run to HomeCenter.

Cristina finally listened to me and we cut off one of the plantain bunches.  Somehow she was convinced, because they were turning yellow, that the tree magically had decided to make bananas instead....  I just shake my head.  

Tom Thumb performed nicely for me today again, after he had chased off an interloper.  They are so darn fast that they are hard to catch together.

We have 3 separate adult Golden Silk Spiders now in 3 separate trees, mango, orange and plantain.

We are having a nice little thunderstorm as I write this to cool down the place nicely.

It is so hard to believe that 2020 is almost over, and we are not kidding ourselves, like that idiot Trump, that Covid is going to magically disappear.  Can you possibly believe that a Gallup poll says the Trump is the most admired man in America today!!!!?????????  Some Trump supporter sure played them somehow.  Maybe it is just to try to calm the baby down so he will leave peacefully, ... but any sane person knows that megalomaniac won't do that.  We still have 3 more weeks of hell with that SOB.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.
