No news is good news

2/17/10 Wednesday
No news is good news? We didn’t hear from Dan and Darlene so maybe the extra food helped to keep Buddah in his pasture.

Last night was Thomas’ night to not sleep. He worried about the goats all night. Should we cut the trip short and head back. Then we could do some adjustments to the trailer and take care of the boys before heading out again? He is worried about the fruit trees that he babied all last year and hoped to get fruit off this year. And the grapes, one day of the goats getting loose could destroy a years work in the garden! We will see what happens next.

Around 10:30am we headed out for a dip at the Hot Spring. After returning, I cooked p-nut butter pan cookies in the sun oven. Then put in a pork stew to cook. The pan cookies were great!

Right now, I am typing this and Thomas is taking the stew out. I’m getting ready to make some rice and call it a meal.

After supper Thomas sat up the massage table and I gave him a massage under the stars. He jokingly said that he didn’t want to turn over and loose the view of the night sky. It seems that 6:00pm is a good time to give massages. During the day there are flies that are pestering you. At dusk other gnats and pesky things are around to buzz your ears.

Tonight we will do a later trip to the Hot Spring. Afterward, we made a snack of avocado and jicama. Jicama is also known as a Mexican potato. It is juicy, crunchy and seemed to be sweet. These are eaten by peeling and cutting into sticks then served with dips or sauces (like salsa) or added to salads. It seemed somewhat similar to a water chestnut to us.

See you in the morning……..
