A couple of small announcements
Joe and I have officially opened a photo shop on Etsy! Check out Pearl Photo for gorgeous, quirky photo art - and check back soon for more pretty things for your walls. If nothing else, pop over there and have a look at how long and boring my hair used to be.
If you’re like me, and I bet you are, you’re trying to think up new ways to use up the tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, squash, and herbs you planted this year. Joe has just the recipe for you! His Quinoa Tabbouleh (lemony vegetable and grain salad) is easy to make, cool on those hot summer nights, and full of fresh produce. Have a look at his recipe at Eat at Joe’s.
Dear Kalynne, the Philosopher Mom, asked if there’s any news in our lives. Oh heck yeah. Yesterday we were served with a certified letter from the IRS stating that Joe’s old employer misreported his income, and we now owe them several thousand dollars. And an iguana.
Show of hands, now - does anyone think our lives are starting to sound like a sad old Country-Western song? All we need is for the truck to break down and the hound dog to run away. If we had a truck and a hound dog.
I jest. Our job searches are going well, and I’m certain this bad case of hives on my back and neck will be going away soon. We still have Internet and toothpaste. We’ve been through much worse than this. I’ll be writing about THAT in the next few installments of the Gringa story.

Could you have a virtual truck and dog? If so, maybe you could sell them. I’m sure there’s a market for this kind of stuff.

Great idea, Heather! Or maybe I’ll find a potato chip in the image of the Virgin Mary, and sell it on Ebay.
