Lots of Different Things Happening Today

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Mexico

A little report from home today to start the blog.  Sheri is back home running CJ's on Ice and today she made up a few versions of poutine for national poutine day.  She loves to dream up new things and all the hockey and curling people who frequent her restaurant love to try them.  Good job girl.

I think this was Tex Mex Poutine

Loaded Potato Poutine

Pulled Pork Poutine

Her and Dani even found time for the Curling skills Clinic in the rink today.  Sheri does a wonderful version of the Lorne Green tuck delivery.  Not quite as good as our son Derek used to do with his 360 spin delivery, but nice non the less.

Our Grand Daughter Dani however has not mastered the tuck delivery yet.  This one was kind of a curl up in a ball delivery.

Anyhow Dani was a winner in the Junior division and received 34 bucks AND a free Poutine at CJ's!!!  LOL.  She can have free poutine at CJ's anytime she wants!!!

Because we have been away for a few days, Kenia invited us to come for lunch at her friends restaurant.  Kenia was helping her today because the restaurant is close to her house and she is a friend!!

We had fish taco's which were delicious.  Nice little out door space.

This afternoon we went by Sergio's and he had just arrived on his brand new motorcycle!!  If you remember a while ago he had an accident and wrecked his motorcycle and a group of us got a fund raiser going to help him buy a new one.  Insurance in Mexico is sort of hit and miss.  Well we raised enough to make it possible for him to use some of his funds and the donations to buy this awesome set of wheels.  It is big enough to carry his wife with him as well.  We joked that he could probably fit 6 people on it like others do!!!

Next plan was to go to Chacala to pick up Katherine who is Kenia's 4 year old niece.  She was at a birthday party for a 2 year old friend so we had to wait while it finished.  They were doing lots of games with really loud music.  Here they were doing Head and Shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes!!! Bet you will be humming that for quite a while now!!

Kenia got involved in a game of pass the hoola hoop.  All the moms were involved in this one.

We finally got Katherine and off we went for home.

I did take a walk downtown in the evening and noticed again that there are no Purple Martins anywhere this year.  The last 2 times we were here, they would roost on these wires by the hundreds.  I wonder what has happened that they are not coming back here?  They did paint the building so maybe they used some repellant in the paint.  The birds did make an awful mess on this corner so maybe they wanted to move them along.   Off I went home and called it a day.  Good Nite!!
