I Just wanted to get a Mate set

Well today we went shopping in Necochea. I just wanted to get a Mate set for enjoying what could be called the national drink of Argentina. Of course the wife had other ideas so we have helped the enconomy of Argentina. I guess the family is going to get Argentine presents at Christmas. Well it is almost 8:45 and almost time to go to dinner. Normally we go at 9 but we have packing to do tonight as tomorrow night we leave Necochea to head to Buenos Aires on the Night bus. The night bus is kinda like a bedroom on wheels thathave fully reclining seats and a hostess. Then on Thursday it is off to Urgway (sp) for a tour of Colonia (we go on a fast ferry) and then back to Buenos Aires for Dinner (10 pm) and our bed and breakfast. Friday is a walking tour of Buenos Aires and Friday night we leave for home (another overnight flight of about 10.5 hours to Houston and then another 3.5 hours toPhila'
I;m tired

Here we are in Argentina

Well we made it down here to Argentina after the long flight and the long drive down here. No real problems except the plane parked at the A terminal and my daughter went to the b terminal. Where most of the international flights go. No big deal except it took a little time to find each other. We are in the same Hotel as last year. I had a small problem with my diet or actually me not eating caused my blood sugar level to drop. But I ate a brownie from the airplane and I came back to normal. Just seeing the sights and visiting with the family. Everyone looks the same and all. Well it is past bedtime and time for bed.

My Oldest Daughter turns 21

Not bad since last year was her 30th birthday. But I have determined that the only way I can keep my age at 39 is to deduct 10 years from Katie's age. Of course I have to do some creative work with my youngest daughter, so she has to be 17 and of course that fouls up the age of my granddaughter so we have to make her 2. OK that works, never thought I would have to resort to age modification but you have to do what you have to do. Midnight of course is only 4, just out of a kitten stage. But cats age at different rates.
I have a problem with birthdays. Actually not with getting older but more in the nature of remembering family birthdays. I had my sister birthday off by 20 days and my aunt off by a month. Only way I remember my brothers birthday is because it is the same as mine. This isn't a sign of old age, I never can remember important dates. Our anniversay is the same date as my wife's niece birthday, so whenever I hear that her birthday is coming up I remember that so is my anniversary. I arranged to have my daughters birthday all occur on the 5th of the month so all I have to remember is the month. Well the mail has come so I need to run down and see the mailman.
