all the fishermen enjoyed the sale on the beach today. i had two helpers and they were great.  we made a lot of money and the guys bought Christmas gifts for their wives and daughters and sisters ... that was the idea. I sold earrings for 20 pesos (13 = $1) and women's purses - really pretty ones, for 30 pesos. Thenthe expensive items were orchids we got on a super sale in San Diego, and I sold them for 50 pesos. I also sold a wine rack (ours, we have 2) and 2 buck chuck wine for 50 pesos .

then Cotty was scheduled to sell on Sunday, so Linda and I went to her house to drop off the table and the rest of the stuff. Well, she decided to start selling today and called to say she was on a roll selling already. So, I will take her more goods tomorrow. Amazing !!  I need more stuff and wrote to at least 5 people to see who can go to the coop in Ensenada and drop off stuff for me.

the local architect, ane xtremely talented man, made a wonderful project for the elementary school - they need and want a theater area and cafeteria. there is NO shade for them anywhere. So, Cotty and I agreed that all her sales, which she wantys to do every weekend, will go towards the school's dream. now i need the parents to get involved - i suggested bake sales and artsy craftsy sales. they must jump on the wagon. the school director finally got my message about cooperating and he is even studying English with me now. last Friday the school gournds were left a mess on a Friday afternoon. helloooooooooooooooooo ... with all the wind we have in the aternoons, that is just disaster waiting tohit the ocean. they have 4 people and i said - please have them clean at the end of the day. and guess wht - today when i went by, the school was spotless

i also talked to our neighbor Gary about recycling . he has had 2 girlfriends who got into the business and did extremely well for themselves. OK. that is the green light for me. we will start, i will be the catalyst. i will get a squasher (why is there no local Harbor Freight ???!!!). i thought i would organize and let someone else do it, but if i can, i will indeed do it myself. working for n omoney has it's limits - the biggest one being that it is NOT fair to Les....who, by the way, goes down as being one of them most supportive people around ....and he is not naturally generous, ever, not even with his kids.  He is such a good guy and he is so lucky to have me as his wife !!!  hahaha 

when I used to tell him he was lucky, he says his first thought was that i was secretly wealthy !!! soooooooooooooooooooo far from the truth and soooooooooooo funny.  I am sooooooooooooo lucky as well.

I think it is time to call the governor, little does he know that he took so long to offer the bulldozer that i now want a bulldozer and backhoe and fence built all around and trucks and balers. as well as money to get it all up and running.

time for bed. i have a huge list of things to do tomorrow. and tomorrow is rapidly snaking up on me.
