Trimming the trees :)

Swallowtail Butterfly

There's now light near the bathrooms! Lots of tree trimming happening here. It's been really great! Still keeping all the shade and cutting the lowest branches.

"High Priority" package




A package arrived addressed to the Doro Team. So Diana and I decided it best to open it to find out what was inside. The box was even marked "High Priority" so we were very curious and excited! The package was from some dear team mates that just left Doro after 7 months to return home to Scotland. 

Inside the package were several envelopes addressed to various team mates or neighbors with a sweet note and a photo inside. It was wonderful to go visit with the neighbors and deliver these sweet care packages from their friends. Also, there was a bag of goodies for the team too! There is a picture below of our goodies. We were able to share them with the team at the Goat Roast!


We love you Paul & Sarah!

Dinner with friends


Every Wednesday night my friends and I have dinner together. Each week one of us takes turn cooking something to share. It's nice to have a break from cooking. More though it really nice to not have to think about what's for dinner. I found that is more of my problem. It's not like we don't have food here or anything. It's just trying to come up with something new or different that is the difficult part of me. 

Usually my staple food is pasta with garlic and olive oil and most nights with bread. Carbs and more carbs! I guess I could blame that on my years of swimming but honestly don't mind it one bit. I love kinds of carbs- pasta, bread, cereal/ oatmeal, potatoes, and even crackers.

Here is a recent photo of one of our Wednesday night meals together!
