Texas Islander Post

Evidently, I’m running a little late with this post, but it’s better than the times I was going for a month or two without a post. I’ve been doing a lot of work on my other blog, UJ Space A Info, trying to get people to visit there, subscribe and click on my ads. I’m not allowed to promise them anything in return for clicking on my ads, but I try to get as much updated...

Renovations

Recently I have and we have had a few things going on around here, but nothing Earth shattering. We did get a new TV, so now we have two. The new one is a 32″ DeVant and we placed it in the dining room since we do not have a living room yet. The older TV we had in there we gave to our goddaughter/niece Patricia. She’s only 5 years old so she shares it with the rest of her family. ...

Poem, Wedding and Parties

Recently Christian at Mango finally did something that he said he would do long ago. He always does what he says he’s going to do, but sometimes it takes a little while. Anyway, a while back, I can’t even remember how long ago now, I wrote a poem for Mango Lounge. Christian liked it so much he said that he will have it put on the wall of the restaurant. It is finally on there. I wrote the...

Yankee Cousin and Expat Charity

Recently I saw a Facebook video about a guy that started making bunk beds for children that didn’t have a bed to sleep in. Here is a link to their website in case it’s something that you are interested in Sleep in Heavenly Peace. That got me to thinking about maybe what the expats in our community here could do for some of the less fortunate here in our city. I do not think that bunk beds...

Frustrating Day

Frustrating days are not so common for me around here. Normally everything is either fine or boring, but not frustrating. Today was an exception, I got frustrated. Nothing that is life-changing, but definitely out of the norm. It all started early this morning when Lita decided that we needed more vegetables to make my stew today. I ate the last one from the freezer yesterday. We don’t have...

The Cousin is Coming, The Cousin is Coming

Recently I mentioned that I have a cousin (cuz) that will be visiting me here in the Philippines later this year. We now have the exact dates that he and his wife will be here. They will be leaving from JFK on 9 December and, with the date change, arrive here on 11 December. They will be departing from the Philippines on 20 December. Their arrival will be about 4 am and they will be departing at 5...

Returning Bakery and Items

Yesterday I tried to create a new post, but there is a problem with our internet service these days and I could not even get to this page. Today it took almost 10 minutes just to pull up this page to type this. The problem is, due to our recent 6.5 earthquake, a cable was severed and all service has slowed down significantly. Globe says they are working on it, but there is no telling how long it will...

A Whole Lot of Moving Going On

Evidently, I procrastinated so long it got to be over a week since my last post. I have been trying to get out at least 1 post per week. I’ll continue to try, but also know it may not always true, especially if it has been a really boring week. It seems that my niece Catherine (Cathy – aka Cat) has swapped out a couple of daughters again. She has 6 children, 4 of them being daughters and 2...
