Well, it’s hump day again in beautiful downtown San Felipe and all over the world – well, maybe in Iran they don’t call it that.  Good afternoon San Felipe, which, of course, would have been “morning” but it’s the same old story.  I just created a Facebook Ad for Kat’s Korner and SanFelipe.com.mx so we’ll see if it gets any new people down San Felipe way.  Cory Dudley has been at it again with his carvings, which are very nice.  He says of this one: “The small “stickers” on the Nopales are not done justice in these pictures.  A few rocks and some Ocotillo cactus helps.” I think it is so cool that we have so many talented, artistic peeps living in and around San Felipe.  Photo by Cory Dudley.

Good afternoon San Felipe!  Once again, I started very early, but with email and other interruptions, it’s now 12:46 p.m. – oh well, better late than never.  If you haven’t seen the new look on the home page, it’s very cool. Luis has also revised the Events Page and Kat’s Gallery #1 now as been viewed 121,331 times. I’m still not able to find a solution for a view count on Apple’s Webme, even though I’ve Googled it and researched the problem on their page, I’ve found no solution.  Maybe they just want to keep it a secret.  At any rate, thank you for looking at my photo albums and also, thanks to all who leave comments.

Good morning San Felipe and what a lovely manic Monday we’re having in San Felipe.  Yesterday, I took the day off observing the Lord’s Day, while playing in the Columbia River.  MrRagtime did write and tell me about the weather down San Felipe way: “It was 109 yesterday and right now it is 108 but feels cooler – the humidity is low.  Why?  I don’t know – we had a lot of clouds last night which should have boosted the humidity.  When my air-conditioners can’t keep up, I know it’s at least 105.”  The Columbia River wasn’t 90 F as was the Sea of Cortez however, and although it’s 74 F here right now, it’s a whopping 85 F in San Felipe and it’s not even 8:30 a.m.  And from my new best friend, Shawnee:  “Hi Kat, Prayers coming your way for you and your Mom.  The swap meet was minute today. They sure could use some exposure. Thank you for all that you do for our little village.  XO Bill and Shawnee.” Okay people – the Pavillion has opened it’s doors on Saturday mornings so everyone can continue the swap meet throughout the summer, but if we locals don’t go or participate, they won’t be able to continue.  Remember, businesses do not receive a break on their electric as residences do, so it’s costing them some bucks to provide an air conditioned place for a swap meet.  (By the way, people who stay all summer are locals; if you leave for the summer, you are considered a snow bird).  As soon as I return, I’m bringing a houseful of junk out to sell, so I hope it’s still going. Remember too that we have many local Mexicans who are trying to support their families who have booths here, so lend a brother a hand, if you’re able.
