Disparate hors d’oeuvres and the mountains of glass.

A feast.

But we were there for the discussion and anyway, we are trying to get away from this prying subject of food.

Fodder.

When visiting the growing places we get to smile and learn.

It’s strange to a city slicker how food actually comes into being.

Glass? Those magnificent bowls.

Lovely lessons in leaving.

A good thing to go.

A sad thing to leave.

For good reasons and by choice, not coercion.

The new and refreshing start.

The chance to play a bigger part.

Closely guarded secrets of a bubbling, brave new heart.

Babblingly relaxing to describe, we’ll look forward to that moment we see the gates of the city as we arrive.

Yes definitely.

That was our reaction to being offered the use of a villa overlooking the Sea of Cortez for 6 months.

Six bedrooms, two dens, two pools…one for me one for fish, and many vegetable plots.

The place was stunning. Original architecture that just…worked. Beauty and utility united.

Now, was that a dream or reality?

You see, we still wait for the keys, the address and the best airport to fly into.

Where is it!?

There’s a curve in the road.

You see where you came from and a new view to what’s up ahead.

A good time to look for a place to stop or how long to continue onward.

And it’s fun to skillfully master the turn.

Without these it’s less interesting and less informative.

The magic pills seem to work.

It was a birthday cake, candles all blown out, icing scooped up in the fingers of the most enthusiastic.

Try to tell me you’re an expert, except for this and that, and this means you are no expert.

If you select the things you know and the things you don’t like the sound of, I say again you are No Expert!

Just remember we allow for honesty and true value, not the hot air of marketing Come-ons!
