Vacation.
Ah, the farm… I was glad when my boss-friend-half mother invited me to go to the farm for the end of the year festivities again. One of the best things is that we are all in sinthony with the faith in God, and that makes a whole difference when spending Christmas and New Year’s eve away from home. It is a large farm, yet, not a fancy place. It´s simple, people there are simple as well and they all have something special. I´m not part of their family, but for years now they make me feel comfortable there.
Below on the left, there´s a mango tree. Can you see the mangoes? Still green though. Click on the snaps to see better size.
Can you see the hummingbird drinking water? ahhh…..
Below, a sequence not well shot from the crops. Guess that´s lettuce over there. Among other vegetables.
The queen Xmas tree!!!!!!! ( Ok, let me explain it here.. I never had this when a child, so I do get carried away when I see one)
That´s us a some time before our devotional about Christmas time. Was so nice… everyone cried. Even me, I never do that…
Not in front of people…
After dinner, the gifts… Can you see the box of F.R.I.E.N.D.S on the table? 8th season… damn cool!
And after doing chores, the relax..
More relax…
Below, there´s everyone after the New Year´s dinner. Singing, chatting…
More later…

Ahh, I see that we have one common friend, The Old Girl. Thanks for stopping by.
I am not normally that angry. I just pretend to be angry to see how my friends would deal with such situation.

thanks so much for the prayers. i wish you all the best too! HAPPY NEW YEAR! (although it’s abit late. haha..)
I love life out in the country! I’m glad you had a nice time.
Everything looks so beautiful…and warm…and full of light! Today was the first day in 15 days that sunshine could be officially measured in my city and it still wasn’t all that much. It’s wonderful to see any sunshine, even if it’s just in your pictures. 
And that is a great CD, isn’t it? She has such a sweet voice. If you like her, you might like “Aqualung” too. I think he’s from the United Kingdom. He’s a pretty mellow sounding musician and his lyrics are quite meaningful.
Looks like a lot of fun… The farm looks inviting. Great to know you had a great time during the holidays….God bless…
ryc: I envy you…having to know and speak fluently 3 languages is really neat! way too cool in my books
