Hola


I wanted to write a few words, just a few today..
I'm sad that we are returning home tomorrow.
Yesterday, in between reading just four pages of my novel.....
I spent an entertaining three quarters of an hour watching a rather large lady in a chintz bathing costume eat an entire kilo of grapes.
She spat the pips out like a real pro

    2. No John - you got it right! Hola not olla. An olla is a ceramic jar, often unglazed, used for cooking stews or soups, for the storage of water or dry foods, or for other purposes.

  17. I've always enjoyed watching people on vacation. My summer has been full of mission work and weeks at camp with my grandson, Zayn. I can't believe July is almost here.

  21. Oh the sights you have seen in the week at the beach!
    Bet there will be some "littles" lined up to greet you home.
