Ramiro (our friend/architect who deisnged our home) stopped by on Thursday – he was in town. He spent a little time looking at the casita, made a couple of changes (great ones I might add). And then I asked he could put together a way to tie them together – and he did in about 15 minutes 🙂 woohoo can’t wait! Shower will have glass blocks in the space that you see as well.

I can't believe how fast things are moving - we were given a more or less completion date of mid August - WOW. Our crew is amazing and I am thankful for the kind hearts, hard work and great spirits. The smiles every day and the 'thank you' in english makes my heart melt. This week I was again making hard boiled eggs for the Venezulans (that are walking back to their country - long story) but had some left over eggs and thought why not make some for the guys. Deviled eggs with fresh made curried mayo & spanish paprika. Dave checked and watched one of them pass the plate around, then poof 10 eggs gone and then they ate lunch - I am guessing they liked the hard boiled eggs!
