Finally!

Dec. 3, 2009
We finished the first casita! It feels so good to have it done and even though we plan to do two more, they don't seem so daunting now. We are very happy with how it turned out - just the right mix of rustic and comfort. Photos will go up on the tranquility-lodge.com site anytime now.
Last month was up and down. Up because we got our first booking from Expedia which is a good sign, but down because it's just not happening fast enough.
Rusty went to visit his mom today so my dad and I are alone here for ten days. Rusty mowed grass like crazy so at least I wouldn't have that to do while he's away. I worked cleanign up around the casita and in the garden. While we've been finishing the casita, the garden has really been neglected.
I hear the monkeys. We hear the howlers almost every day now. We've gone out to track them but can't get close enough before they stop howling. I think they are playing with us. But, it's just too cool that we have monkeys and for guests staying in the casita it will be a real treat.
Off to bed...
