Filed under: Progress Reports
Five weeks have gone by since the last update, and so much has happened that we’re going to let the pictures do most of the talking this time. Special guests this month are our friends Brent and Suzie who came to visit for a week in October. We spent a few days in Morelia and Patzcuaro, about four hours away, and it was good to take the time for friends, new scenery, and some good belly laughs. Enjoy the update…

Brent thought it looked like fun too...
At Lake Zirahuen after a gourmet dinner of pink trout with strawberries and balsamic reduction...no joke

We had so much fun – evidenced by the manly photos of our cooper pounding husbands! So glad the tile is working out – it looks beautiful. You two are really building something very, very special, love it!

LOVE your place!!!! Love seeing it come to life. Takes my breath away. Makes me miss Mexico even more. Counting the days when I can see it (and you) in person. Un abrazo! Stephanie
Comment by Stephanie Bennett Vogt November 12, 2009 @ 8:26 pmBy Jove, I think I found it ! We can well understand that Barry is The Architect for Casa Wabi Sabi but now we can give Nancy her title, which came to me in a Japanese vinaigrette Montreal distribution warehouse where I was introduced to the man-in-charge who had the marvellous title of “Quality Control and Fulfillment Supervisor”. So there you go, Nancy, Fulfillment Supervisor Extraordinaire !!!
