Monday, 28 May 2018: Brussels


Memorial Day. Three day weekend!
Erich came to town for Jordan’s birthday.  They had plans to go fishing with one of Jordan’s co-workers.  We all met for burgers at the Dysckesville Bowl...still the best cheese curds on the planet.  Later, Jordan, Erich and Justin and I went to see Han Solo, the latest Star Wars movie.  It was my first time for dream loungers.  The theater has discounted senior matinees on Fridays as well as discounted movies on Tuesday evenings.  Maybe we will need to come back.  You know, on our fixed income, we need to watch for these discounts.

The Spider Man is coming and I am not talking about a Marvel superhero, but the pest control man.  I drove myself crazy fighting spider webs last summer.  I even got peppermint oil from Lisa but nothing worked.  Next door neighbors Don and Amy Hurckley told us about Peninsula Pest Control and their effective spray to combat spiders. I don’t like to kill spiders since they eat all the other bugs but enough is enough.  He can’t come soon enough to suit me.


We haven’t been pouring as much concrete since the water is up.  Now Justin is focusing on getting the plants into the ground and into pots.  Erich brought a bunch of HUGE hastas when he came to visit for Jordan’s birthday.   We bough about twenty raspberries plants from a local farm.  Some should produce this year and even more to come in future years!

On the Casa Maria front, we heard from Alanso after Bijon prompted him for an update.  Seems now Alanso needs the original document when the corporation was established some fifteen to twenty years ago.  How is it that a document that no one ever mentioned before is now a show-stopper?  Since the corporation was first established in Quintana Roo, the lawyer, Alanso, needs to close out things there before he can establish us in the state of Yucatán.  Since Bijon doesn’t have the documents and the original notary’s papers have been turned over to the state archives, it could take “months.”  We told Bijon that we’d pick up operating expenses in November even if we haven’t closed.  That might be risky but we want to be able to make it ours once we are back on-site.  From time to time Justin and I talk about how ready we will be to go back to Celestun.  When the time comes.  I am not ready now, but I know I will be by October.
