Blither

Check out the purple sky from the other night. I kept forgetting that I took it. Pretty, eh?

We had dinner with neighbors last night, it was really nice. I know I've mentioned this many times, but it's just such a nice change to just hang out, have a few Heinekens (or wine for others) and talk. I miss talking sometimes. Which is funny since I hate being on the phone.

We had homemade tacos, even deep fried tortillas for taco shells. We played Yahtzee, which I haven't played in years and years. Another couple played darts. Nice music, No TV. It's such the simple life up here that it is refreshing. Even though I do complain about boredom alot. It is so wild to me that there are still families that play board games and kids that play outside.

I even know a few up here who don't have TV's or computers.....eeks can you imagine?? I would certainly lose my mind.
Actually up higher in the mountains there are families without power and running water. Eeks again.
I'll tell you now, we are not that mountain-like. Which I guess you figured out after you saw the truck we just bought :)

There is definitely a different mentality up here. Everyone wears guns or carries one somewhere, truck etc. I don't do either.
Many are not very clean, or have beards down to their chests.
Everyone has horses, cows and dogs. All dogs ride with the owners everywhere, and usually in the back of a pick-up, which I hate. Of course, that gives Hub more business.
All the women have long straight hair. Which makes more sense to me now, since there are no hair salons around. Or, not any I would go to. That's why my hair has gotten so long.
When in Rome I guess.
I won't be growing a beard or stop bathing though. No worries:)
