Ojos Negros 2010

  We are hanging out at the Primera Inglesia Bautista in Ojos Negros, Mexico for a few days to renovate the restroom facilities.  Me and my brother-in-law Andy Smith, Dan & Sandy Stilwell and Hassan Tjio are here with Pastor Speedy and Brother Abraham for a stucco good time.  Us gringos don't have much experience with stucco, but our compadres are masters.  We will also be tiling the shower stalls, adding partitions and fixing the door on the men's side that some one has kicked in.  When you gotta go, you gotta go.
  Pastor Ismael has just turned 80.  He's a spry guy, although very short.  Rosa, his wife, cooks for everybody, all the time.  She makes everything from scratch and Ojos Negros has a lot of it's own fine Queso.  The tamales and pollo crema were awesome.
  Sandy brought a sewing machine and various sundries along.  She made hot pads, aprons for the ladies and a tiny scarf for the chihuahua.
   The play ground equipment that was installed during the summer was uprooted and hurled across the yard in September during an unheard of twister.  Dan, Hassan and Abraham made the needed repairs.
Looking forward the the next time.
