Family news

Ruby graduated from Montesorri kindergarten so we went out last night to eat at Kentucky Fried Chicken. Yes, the Colonel is here...and this being the Philippines, you can get spaghetti as a side dish, and meals come with either rice or fries.

For the last year, we've had a mall with lots of fast food restaurants, bookstores, hardware, groceries etc. Talk about being modern. Now they have to widen the road because the traffic jams are getting so bad...the high school is across the street..., and it's on the main road to Manila...

Then we came home to find our black dog, who we had "fixed" last year, was in labor. She chose my recliner chair to give birth to four puppies. So I didn't get much sleep between the dog yelping in pain and the puppies whimpering.

And right now it's raining out...it supposed to be dry season, and people are harvesting rice and drying it on the roads and parking lots. If the rice gets wet, they'll have to pay a ricemill to dry it, and will get less profit. Sigh.
