working with the food processor was quite an experience for both of them 

neither one of the girls have ever had cheesecake, so I really look forward to watching their reactions tomorrow night - they did taste both cherry and blueberry topping tonight and both went for the blueberry

I guess that you can add your own caption to this one 

she didn't know that i was watching 

the next three pictures are of Senida deciding to see what cream cheese tastes like and then acting on that impulse 

no cooking in their Kekchi house is done using appliances and they don't own measuring spoons, the precise measurements for the cheesecake was a completely new experience - don't get me wrong, the food they make is EXCELLENT, it is just made a whole different way 

they were really fun to watch as they experienced many new things - they have a very special relationship 

later in the afternoon - Adelita and Senida came over to have a "first-time-ever" experience - they made a cheesecake for after bookstudy tomorrow night 

then he did a half circle and came up again for another look from the top 

the "bug of the day" crawled over a water jug this afternoon and headed down the other side 

if these flowers are not called "shooting stars" or something very similiar, then they should be 

this is our jungle princess trying desperately to pull a young jippy-joppa shoot (work better suited for the family - jungle man) We will be having jippy-joppa with our scrambled eggs in the morning 

these are some late blooms from one of the nearby achiote bushes 

this is a heavily flowering jippy-joppa plant 

the plant central to this picture must somehow be related to the dandelion because it certainly resembles it - it is call culantro and is used in any number of ways, but primarily in caldo - belizean chicken soup (which usually includes the feet...........=) 

i love one of the color phases that the achiote goes through.......a kind of dark pink or very light red.....but a deep and beautiful color 

they are never very far away from Kathy - UNLESS an agouti happens to pass by - then the hunt is on 

......another variety of fern 

the mutts really love Kathy - here Bo looks up at her best buddy 

this is a view looking toward the southeast corner of the property (the bush in the center of the picture about a hundred yards in the distance) when it rains a lot this area is a lake 

along the way we saw some ferns........... 

we walked down the property line on the west side of the 30 acres, then across the back to the center and then home using several of the trails that I have created 

what man in his "right mind" would ever buy his wife a machette 

she's a real "Zorro-ette" 

we took both of the "mutts" with us - Bo is somewhere in the distance as Kathy heads down the driveway
