P-day with Mom and Dad

Well, we've decided to make good use of Andy's birthday camera and present a blog on one of our more typical P-days. Ah, P-day. That means we get to sleep past 6:50, but only if the phone doesn't ring, which it usually does, but at least today we slept til 7:30!

One of our favorite P-day activities is walking to the open market. On our way we often stop at our favorite bakery just a block from the house. As you can see today it is raining, but that doesn't stop us as we can use our trusty umbrella we bought in England.
Some of you have actually done this very walk with us and may remember walking along the main street on the way to open market.
After crossing the street, we pass by the flower shop where we have bought bouquets to cheer our friends. Did you notice Dad is wearing one of the several red ponchos we bought with Marg and Nate on our rainy trip to Venice?

We finally made it to the open market where we bought a Christmas gift for Sister Cano from our favorite art vendor. The picture is a lovely oil painting of some pretty pink and blue flowers. Sister Cano loves flowers so this is the perfect painting for her. I'm sure you all remember Sister Cano, our dear "donna domestica" whom we can't say enough good things about. We hope this gift will express our appreciation to her. The vendor helped me show it off.
On our way home we stopped at the Farmacia to buy flu shots. We are storing them in our fridge until we can find a nurse who will "stick it to us". Ouch!

Well, that about wraps up P-day--at least the morning part. We spent the rest of the day working on projects around the house. Dad read letters from missionaries. I worked on a letter that will go in the Christmas gift for all the missionaries. Then we visited the local mall where we ate filafil and humus (we're sick of Italian food, sort of !) and came home and watched the documentary portion of our DVD King Kong that talks about Skull Island. P-day's over. Back to work. Hope you all had a good Saturday. Mom
