Family news

the friends of Ruby are still here. Later today we have a belated christmas party for the staff, friends, and the farmers who grow for our company.

Lolo went to church. Chano came down to tell us he would drive us, and I said come back in ten minutes because Lolo wasn't ready. Then I went out with the cook to try to figure out where to put the dogs during the party. So Lolo, not finding anyone but ready, went outside and hailed a tricycle (motorcycle with sidecab that is used here for short taxi rides). I managed to catch up with him before he left, but Chano was too late.

So five minutes after we arrived in church, Chano arrived in the car, and then the rest of the family and the visitors too.

Now we are relaxing. Usually Lolo reads the paper in the dining room, but it is hot and the dogs keep barking at the staff in the kitchen (who include a few from the farm who the dogs don't know). So we moved into the spare bedroom, that I fixed up as a living room with a sofa and a few chairs.

Usually we go to the bedroom, but it is hot and dark there, so it's nice to have an alternative.
