I think that's next on my list!<BR/><BR/>The Miranda song is cute and not too provocative. PG 13 maybe, or even PG. (Unless I'm missing a double entendre?)<BR/><BR/>The book sounds great. I'll put it on my list.andalucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17362287992425261006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-57465216231731121352008-04-22T09:16:00.000-07:002008-04-22T09:16:00.000-07:00Soooo happy you are back and had a grand time!

Nothing like monkeys and mangoes to refresh eh?<BR/><BR/>I have the Las Ketchup song and it's one of my fave motivational tunes to bop around the house to. Thanks for reminding me Alex S - now I'll be singing it for DAYS!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492950209121399762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-29261743088382354052008-04-21T21:03:00.000-07:002008-04-21T21:03:00.000-07:00Mangos and music, and the luscious colors I always...Mangos and music, and the luscious colors I always expect to find here!

I'm taking a canning break for a while because there wasn't a piece of fruit that came into my house that didn't get turned into jam last year. But ... I'm out of mango jam and everyone loved it so much they're begging me to make more.Deirdrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01111665177473414894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-56606043396143333992008-04-21T09:50:00.000-07:002008-04-21T09:50:00.000-07:00It looks like you would fit right in withe the col...It looks like you would fit right in withe the colors of Mexico. lol! So beautiful. It reminds me of that movie awhile back, with Selma Hyack(sp?) and Matthew Whats-his-Face from "Friends"? They get married, and he comes home and she has painted the whole house in these colors? So funny. <BR/><BR/>Can't wait to see more. Happy you didn't get kidnapped by the Rebels.

You'll have memories (and textiles) to last for years and years. :-)<BR/><BR/>And now that song is stuck in my head... One of my writing-group friends speaks Spanish, so I might see if she can tell us what the song is really about.<BR/><BR/>Again, so glad you guys got a fun break!Amber Loughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374291005610549082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-13263599350451389262008-04-21T04:38:00.000-07:002008-04-21T04:38:00.000-07:00What beautiful colours!

I think it was "Le Ketchup" or "Las Ketchup" - it needled its silly way into my brain and I couldn't get it out of my head for weeks (that also happened with that Chili's "i want my babyback ribs" commercial tune! oh NO there it goes again!....Fatty!.....)Alex Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02109059018269508607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-89677239023530506762008-04-20T23:10:00.000-07:002008-04-20T23:10:00.000-07:00The photos look amazing Fatwoop!

On a separate note, if I had known you were coming home a day later than planned i would have made a greater effort to clear up the water disco ball holes I left on the ceilings when we yanked them out in such a hurry. I'm glad you two finally were able to get away and have a wonderful trip. But tomorrow, its back to work. I'll pop over for my breakfast about 7:45ish.Alex Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02109059018269508607noreply@blogger.com
