Day 14 - Friday, 7/3/09 - SETTLED

We sleep very well at Ron and Carmen's.

Corinne sleeps in. Meanwhile, Ron makes a papaya, mango, banana smoothie for breakfast. Bob has never seen such a huge papaya. Great!

Ron's son "Young Ron" and his kids come over for BBQ. Young Ron cooks up a major feast, with chicken, hamburgers, hotdogs, ribs and salads.

We have been looking forward to Carmen's tamales with eggs in the morning, but she has a wrist injury acquired while using a cane after knee surgery. Unfortunately, she is not up to cooking yet. She is on month four and her recovery is slow, at age 75.

The kids wear us out. Carmen, especially, still suffering from pain in her knee, is unable to do much with them. We try to help by playing cards most of the day. How many times can an adult say "Go Fish!" before wanting to scream! Then there's War, which can go on endlessly. Ron and the kids have come up with their own rules, which are a strategy for ending the games early.
