1-22-15

Martin: Storm front that rolled in one morning over Casares but no rain eventuated. Wind farms everywhere in Spain and more going up all the time. You can just make out the Rock of Gibraltar through the gloom.
Me: Looks like Bob and I are moving! My sister, Carol just sold our house to Monte & Emily right underneath our feet. WOW! :-/

Hahaha. :-)

So, this photo is a joke (hopefully that's obvious since we wouldn't sell our home - especially after 3 years of renovation)! But this photo WAS a set up for a prank by Monte & Emily to play on their friends & family back in Iowa. Everyone who knows my brother understands that he hates leaving the Iowa farm and doesn't like flying. The farmers at coffee time were joking with Monte that Emily's gonna cash their farm checks and buy an AZ house while they are visiting their daughter Janna & family. Carol posted this pic on FACEBOOK yesterday & it went viral in our hometown. Some locals believed it - congratulating them online, some of their kids called to make sure it wasn't true & others were quite confident that this would NEVER happen. Some stranger commented on FB "That dude looks UNEASY!" hahaha.  Carol said this photo posted on her Facebook page just might hurt her business because of Monte's "look". :-)

It was a fun afternoon with everyone (12 of us) gathered at our house for pizza & homemade lemon bars (lemons from our tree). Mmmm.

  2. My mom and I made the lemon bars. Tasted good but the tops didn't stick to the crust very well. :-/
