Fabulous day today!
Ramon joined me at the boat shop this morning and we were able to put up three frames. This afternoon while he went on a cactus-gathering expedition to get us some nopales and pears, I worked on another frame. Just THREE left to go!

Lots of non-boat stuff happened too:
Ramon and I whipped up a 4th of July dinner of baked brie, apple chutney, bruschetta, and tabouleh. Yum!
After dinner the ranch owner's wife joined us for an evening chat. The around-town gossip usually involves drug smuggling, so-and-so public official who went to prison for human trafficking, so-and-so neighbor who fires his automatic weapons too close to the street, etc. You know, the usual boring small-town stuff.
Oh yes! AND I just submitted my application for graduate school.

| Machete and tongs in hand, Ramon prepares to hack up the neighbor's yapping chihuahua. Just kidding. He's getting us some cactus to chow down on tomorrow. |

| Yum! Pear cactus sorbet, anyone? |
 |
| As American as apple chutney. |
 |
| I made re-fried beans with 15 different bean varieties. Not too bad-- but it tasted like the regular kind. |
Done and done! Let freedom ring.
