Caray, Caray!

Nuestra Amiga, Judy B sent me a message that she was enjoying my latest horsey postings on FB and suggested I share some of it here with you since you might not all see it on FB. Top are two mustang stallions on top of Pryor Mtn, Montana (first seen here now!) Middle is very new foal in the lupin also on Pryor and bottom is a Peruvian Paso stallion in northern New Mexico.

Opening refrito: Rogelio escapes? Fernando works? Nooooooo…..

Yuri chides Rogelio for not being able to leave his house.  It is because of the ineptitude of Cantú reveals Rogelio.  The two galans continue planning to turn Jesús into Picalilli sauce.

Mad Marta grabs Valentina, with ineffectual resistance by the little friend who is smacked against the wall and Jesús's rescue attempts and one lost balloon bunch, Marta roars off swearing that they are not going to take her daughter Jimena from her. Val's friend feels bad that he couldn't stop Marta but Chatita feeds him bread and swabs his head booboos.

Elias and Vero fight over their stuff, marriage, stuff, daughter, yaddah yaddah and Elias finally reveals that he is not so sure he still loves Vero.  She is cosmetic bag gobsmacked!

Jesica and Xochi argue over Fernando's obsession with Natashia and Jess threatens to tell Fernando the truth but Xochi wisely says that may be best, go ahead.


The sillies play air banjos.  Patimelt comes in insulting the office help who now band against her. Alma is none too glad to see her and wants her to stop bothering her.  The crocodile tears roll as Pati reveals Alma is the only friend she has ever loved.  We are all struck dumb with the irony of this statement as is Alma who says she is no friend to her.

The keystone cops arrival of Vero making the kidnapping of Valentina all about her coincides with Elias in the rear followed only by the police on the case, but in Vero's world it is always all about her.  She rants as madly as Marta against Jesus who has done this just to vex her and Elias who is just as culpable.  At least Jesus and Elias are a working friendship now to try to speak with reason.  The police aren't all that much help but immediately search Marta's house and consulting offices with no success.

Mad Marta gets the last hysterical laugh as she speeds down some highway with precious cargo Valentina still out cold in the back seat.  Marta assures the unconscious child she will soon wake so they can enjoy their escape together.

Susana and Panfilo chat about his remarkable recovery and he says it is all because of his wonderful Daughter.  Susana is surprised that Panfilo has a daughter while said marvelous daughter coughs over at her own desk afraid paps is going to blow her rich heiress cover.  He does't of course and Susana presses on wanting to meet the lovely one.

Fernando is barely civil with Xochi but better than before.  He bemoans his love for Natasha and how hard it is to get close to her.  Xochi wants to know how he can claim to love someone that he really doesn't know.  They tease and he at last reveals that he knows his secretary is named Xochi.  She grins that he finally knows her name.

Pati shows up at Rog's and sees the boys all clinking.  Yuri gives her that eager eye and she flirts back with some misgivings.  Maybe something can develop here but not if Sanson can help it.  He barks at everyone but Rogelio.

Marta carries Valentina into a party room with many balloons while Valentina looks as doubtful as we feel.  Let's hope the little genius thinks up something to get herself free.

Alma asks Xochi where Jesus is since he hasn't arrived at work yet.  Xochi doesn't know but responds to Alma's request to get him on the phone.  Jesus has to tell Alma that Marta has kidnapped Valentina

An evil looking clown makes dog balloons while Marta welcomes her daughter Jimena to the big party with cake.  Valentina stands her ground that she is Valentina and Marta is not her mother.  She cries that she wants to go back to her mother Vero, and her papas Jesus and Elias.  Marta comes close to losing her temper but just avoids getting physically violent in her frustration.

Jesus gets frustrated now and Chatita is trying to calm him down.  He is going to call Alma when Vero whines about why he has to drag that witch into it.  Chatita assures her that Jesus is calling his love partner and it is only natural that he would.  Jesus down plays this but Chatita does him a big favor.

Pati plays sexy lady with Yuri in front of the always eye-popped Rogelio.

Jessica shows up to Cardena's office and he kicks out Gilberto who is only whining about his pathetic self anyway.  She tells him she has decided it is time to forget about fernando.  He can't believe his ears.

Back at the evil clown party.  Marta pays him off handsomely and continue to threaten and try unsuccessfully charm Valentina into responding to her as Jimena.  Valentina is having none of it even when Mart smashes party favors and refreshments off the table, she sits firmly and though scared continues to insist that Marta return her to her mother and papas.

Xochi is now trying to explain to Marisela and Susana about the struggle with Jessica for Fernando and how the mystery woman Natasha fits in.  Marisela is starting to catch on but Susana doesn't know any of this.

Now Rogelio and Pati are arguing.  He is mad because she has ruined his chances with Alma.  Why did she send her the video with his lap dance with Jesica.  Pati defends that it was the only way she could have a chance of getting time with him and gave him all of herself so he would come to his senses and realize how much love she has for him.  He counters that she was always been willing even when he was always clear that she was second fiddle and he only promised sex, sex and more sex when it was convenient but his heart was always else where.  Poor Pati pouts and tears up again but she isn't having much more luck than she did with Alma.

Back at Chatita's Veronica is trying to assert herself in place of Alma but Alma and Jesus are on their own cloud these days.  Not satisfied with a simple no, Vero follows Alma into the bathroom and wants to know what she is doing with Jesus when she is supposed to be a high principled person and OMG I can't carry on with the nonsense spewing out of Vero's pouty mouth.  The upshot is that she tells Alma that she is going to have a child with Jesus but Alma let's her know that Jesus has already told her that though she Vero tried to come back to him, he has already assured him that nothing happened between them.  Stomping her feet and tears flowing Veronica insists that she will play any dirty trick she can because after all,  all is fair in love and war.  Alma thinks Vero is willing to play too dirty.  Vero whines that Jesus loved her.  Alma says lovED is the operative word, that is the past.

Xochi finally tells Marisela and Susana that she is indeed the vamp Natasha. The women love it. They muse about what will happen when Fernando finally figures out that Xochi and Natasha are one person. They giggle until Fernando striding by demands to know what is so funny.  Susana says they are just chatting about the ironies of life.  Fernando relents since clearly they are not going to let him in on the joke.  Later he is quite sweet with Xochi and thankful for her help. Xochi is getting more confidence by the day and they part shaking hands.

Final images:  Mad Marta is putting her "Jimena" to bed and wants to read her a story about the bad witch that captures children in her house.  Valentina knows as much about ironies as the office ladies.  Jesus and Elias continue to torture themselves over Valentina's absence. I'm waiting for Valentina to outsmart all of them.
