MEET THE HARRIS', FAMILY AND FRIENDS
We had three birthday
girls, Tami's Mother Dottie on David & Tami's new deck,
mine and Bella's. Nice Job on the cobblestones Tami.
Celebrated my birthday with family at the CandleWorks
and at Sis Arlene's. Bella celebrated her first birthday
this summer. Niece Debbie also made the papers
volunteering for the Fresh Air Children who come in from
New York City. And there's Yorky's dog Bentley, Asher
with the special salads Gramma always makes for him and
the deer that check out our back yard.
LINKS
Thanks to Hilda,
George, Ed & Robin, Flo & George, Marilyn for the
special Links. There is also the
Standard Times article of
Acushnet when we had the micro-burst. Eric Arruda's
house seemed to get the most damage with a tree falling
on it. Thanks to Eric's parents, Dick & Cindy, we were
introduced to Square dancing.
OUR TRAVELS
Off we go again
into a sea of green water hyacinths, Wayne called them,
this time to fish for piranhas in the Yarapa River
creek. They splash the paddle in the pretty sea of green
to attract the piranhas and everyone gets a fishing pole
except me as you know what I do......"take pictures".
Wayne caught the most piranhas. His sister Daune caught
one also. Then back to the boat for dinner and great
music by the crew, including the song "El Condor." The
sunsets were pretty. How did you like the ferry --with
hammocks!!
The next day was a
"Discovery" trip into Nauta Town where we had to buy
fruit, find out it's name and the name of the seller.
Then off for a motokar ride (a three wheel
motor bike taxi) and stopped to take a group photo. We
went to a Shaman Ceremony and a catamaran ride on La
Encatada Lake to see the Capybaras, the largest rodent
in the world. The Victoria Regia water lily
grows up to six and a half feet in diameter and next
month I'll show you it's beautiful flower.
See the rhinoceros
beetle grub? Well they are a form of protein so they fry
them and guess who ate one? Not me!! Wayne did! He said
it tasted like a soggy french fry. As for the piranha, I
tried those and they were crunchy, very crunchy.
Thanks Seymour and
Myra for sharing with us your pictures.
NAUTICAL TWIRLERS
had a wonderful final
dance with lots of friends visiting. It was so good to
talk to so many of you, something I never had a chance
to do while cueing.
TOWN HOWLERS
Summer get-together
was at Melville's Grill in Portsmouth. Great company,
good food and nice sunset.
I had some trouble
downloading the website. Let me know if you find
something that can be corrected.
Thanks,
Lucille & Wayne
