June 16th

quiet crowd this wk my joe and his crew with salma  rose were up .marie and gary isaih, head cooks and bottle washers. actuallythey got up early and took the boys to tinaja they dumped them out and let them peddle home[ down hill ] [31 mi]. little eddie [now hanging with the big dogs] decided to compete with some red neck for road space. doesn't know yet that he is far enough in 3rd world country that they would just leave him for the crows, and call him stupid. any how they made it home and chris and ed helped to eat the eggs and chorizo . we were expecting paul ,but tire troubles put him behind. he rushed back to abq to ready for mon tue meetings.joe nic and crew up to aztec to move nics sister out so they can sign on their house and make the san antonio move permanent.

   we have had all kinds of stress at the farm.well went out, then got stuck, then dropped the new pump into the hole. went fishing and by the grace of god retrieved  the pump. now we will start anew. alfalfa without water going on 2 wk.

    my nun from chicago popped in for dinner. sandy fed her and her friends. the apple pie bought her a novena. i think they are going to put in a good word for her despite the fact she is a pagan.

   would be remiss if ididn' t mention odins bday party. quite the bash. a few days early. to attract wild women and family. it was a disco theme. lights off and black lights only, floresent cloths and tee shirts and dew rags , and jewelry . they danced to the wee hours. now odin was putting on moves that would make james brown blush. iam certain that no atencio or gutierrez ever did that. certainly call to question that mcminn jaramillo outfit.

    rich and jane rana gma mary up to montana to marry off nelias' niece. missed them at the disco scene.zach and family off with both sets of in-laws at disney world. god help the boy.
