Caray, Caray!

Thank you, Blue Lass, for another sassy bunnycap.

Santi MUST be in a wheelchair until he can have the miracle cure and walk again. "Bingo trifecta", indeed!!!

One thing is for sure, Demian is not going to be nominated Father of the Year. ;-p

Now that Dem saw Cefiro and Mari talking, he'll be taking out a hit on him.

That look in Rafa's eyes when she was talking to Ed ...... look out, dude.


 

Thanks, Blue Lass.

Uh oh, now Demián knows for sure who Mariela’s lawyer is.

I liked Ed telling Flo to “get a job.”

Cannot someone just arrange an accident for Rogelio already?

doris, yes a “bingo trifecta.”!!!!!
 

Thanks, Blue Lass. I like your style.

"World's dullest adultery" oh yeah, Ed, you had better buckle up.
 

Lety makes a bedside confession to Santi: she loves him so much she doesn't even care if he's marrying another woman; she just wants him to be well again. Of course he doesn't answer because he's in a coma. (He's also in a neck brace. If he graduates to a wheelchair, we'll have a bingo trifecta.)

Not only do we have a Bingo Trifecta, we have proof positive that Lety's love is REAL and no doubt by telenovela's end, she'll have Santi equally in love with her. Not a great win in my opinion, but he's who she wants and True Love wins out. In these stories anyway.

Also loved your observation on Rogelio. Guess he didn't have any wings to pick off flies that day, so he's tormenting his fiancée instead. Whadda guy. I'm sure the stress of trying to act like a loving, repentant swain was wearing on him and he needed this little psych torture to get his mojo back.

I say Go for it Rafaela!! She certainly has good reason to want to betray nasty Demian and Eduardo is easy pickins' clearly. Normally not a fan of adultery but in this case....Although Carla is hardly the monster that Demian is.

Thanks for another great take on the turpitude in Puebla. As always, Sara and her rapier-like observations took first prize.

Mil Gracias Bunnycapper Supreme.
 

Thanks, everybody! I didn't get a chance to comment on the comments last week, so I'll just move the whole operation over here...

Judy, loved the Yul Brynner reference -- when I was a kid, I thought God looked just like the King of Siam (Unitarians are very free in their theological symbolism.)

Rena, do you think Rogelio has a "no neck" contract as well? All those turtlenecks! I actually really like that actor but prefer it when he plays a lovable goofball.

Lucio, was that your official bingo card or did you make up your own? Either way works. I am one square away on both Card #8 (MAIN COUPLE BREAK UP) and my homemade card (MARIACHIS.)

Jarifa, I watched the first epi of MMTF and liked it a lot. Now I have something to play with when I'm not in Alternate Puebla. ;}
 

What What What!!!!! you mean God doesn't look like Yul Bryner!!!??? Color me dashed and depressed.

More mysteries...Rogelio in a turtleneck, Sarah in a poncho, and Renata in a bikini. What weather zone are we in?
 

Blue Lass, I am glad you got to see Epi 1 of MMTF.

Ah, Yul Brynner! I say no more . . .
 

Bunnycap for Tuesday, July 17th:

Turns out Leo came to the hospital to tell Mari it was time to come home. She points out that she’s an adult and a doctor and can make that decision for herself and Al gets all huffy and Leo gets all snappy and Sara tells them both to push off if they can’t behave themselves.

Carla looks into Flo’s closet and freaks – it still looks pretty full to me, but apparently some of the Skipper outfits are missing: she’s gone! She yells at Ed for being too strict, he yells at her for being too lax. Then he announces she can talk to the mirror coz he’s leaving, too…but he only seems to make it as far as the guest room.

Santi is bitter and enraged in spite of having mad wheelchair skills. He’s nasty to everyone and throws his food on the floor. He won’t see a PT but says he’ll work with Mariela, then looks at her with puppy-dog eyes. Ruh-roh.

Dem is very near to launching his grand revenge plan against Mariela, the last piece of which is apparently photos Rog took of someone (Leo?) patronizing Bluebeard’s. He tells Rog to keep looking for Witness #2: if they can’t find him, they will need to take action against Liso & Sefiro. Meanwhile, Dem clarifies to Rafi that they aren’t a love match or even lovers, just business partners who sleep together.

At Julio’s request, Noe tries to talk some sense into Elena, but Rog sees them together and attacks Noe on his way out, knocking him out and taking his watch and wallet to make it look like a mugging. He pulls out his pistol and is about to shoot when a cop car shows up, so he runs away. Whew!

Al pops the question to Mari in the driveway of his house, with everyone peeking out at them through the windows. She says yes, but not now, and they decide to keep it a secret. In MariWorld this means telling all 37 of the women in her house and telling them to keep it a secret as well, which would be laughable even if Leo weren’t skulking outside the door looking all constipated.

 

In other news:

Julio has an Elvis haircut and a giant stuffed frog. It’s hard to predict which will impress Lety less.

Lety has a super-cute kitty sweater that would definitely melt Santi’s heart if she could get it into the room.

Liso shares his first paycheck from Sefiro with Flo.

Rog returns the ring for cash because “he doesn’t need it anymore.”

Dan tells Sara only time and God can heal Santi.

Cris continues to pursue Liso. Mari tells him to ease up already.

Ren proposes at the dinner table that Dem apologize to Santi (even though he hasn’t done anything wrong, of course) as a way to lure the kid out of his funk. Somehow this is supposed to impress Sara, but I don’t get it.
 

Thanks, Blue Lass.

Loved Demián telling Rafaela how it is.

BTW, The young actor playing Santiago plays Julieta’s younger bro in MMTF.

I am hoping for a really appropriate anvil for Rogelio.
 

Trifecta today! Wheelchair! Squee!

Apparently Mari forgot she won't get involved with or even marry Al before she gets her land back.

Lefty's unfortunate tee shirt with cat face reminded me of another telenovela where the younger daughter, who ended up in a wheelchair, had that unfortunate panda top with its big eyes youknowhere, too. In sewing lessons we are told to watch out for this with large flowers, etc, and avoid the headlights effect. 😳

Ren's pirate boots ... what can I say?

Massive anvils for Dem and Rog, we hope!!!
 

OMG where are my manners?!?!? Thank you Blue Lass for another sassy, snarky bunnycap!!!
 

Doris, I actually really liked the kitty shirt, but I know what you mean. One summer at a Unitarian Universalist retreat, the t-shirt design had two huge U's on it, and everyone looked ridiculous. Especially the men.
 

Hmmm...wondering if Dem has pictures of Leo going in and out of the brothel, and it will turn out he's just there to...learn how to sculpt something other than heads. (Not a metaphor.)
 

Great recap but a disturbing episode Blue Lass. And I have to side with Doris here, the most disturbing part was that gross kitty cat dress that Leti was wearing. A real horror on a nubile young woman. But as Carlos used to say, Opinions may differ, and clearly they do.

Everything else was pretty ugh-worthy also. Rogelio getting his money back for the ring, and seriously injuring Noe. Would have killed him were it not for arrival of police.

Renata gaining points by seeming to take the side of Angels and persuade Demian to reconcile with Santiago.

Santiago dissing everybody and pitching the pasta on the floor (it's the servidumbre that has to do all that cleaning up buddy, not your brother) Also apparently falling for Mariela so once again he and Alonso can compete for the same female.

Christian acting like a hormonal middle schooler in his frantic pursuit of Lisandro.

Eduardo picking a fight with his wife and storming into the guest bedroom (although I must admit, somewhat off-topic, that the actor's enunciation is great. Watch his lips...they really really move. Wonder if he is a singer also.

And Leonardo doing his usual middle-aged perv thing, skulking in the corner listening to Mariela blab about her engagement...jeez, she held onto the secret for about what...two minutes. Lawsamercy chile! you can do better than that.

So, sum total, hated the episode. Loved the recap. Thanks Blue Lass.

And what is with these telenovelas!!?? Vuelo de la Victoria has a young thing ending up with a man old enough to be her father as well. Not a spoiler, you see them kissing in the "entrada" to the series. Gives me the heebiejeebies.

Well, that's enough cranky ranting for today...thanks again Blue Lass. (maybe it's something I ate...I knew I never should have bought those Cheezits)
 

JudyB - rant away, I blame it on the heat & humidity.. LOL
 

Watch out folks. Sheeeee's Baaaaak! I'm giving Blue a break tomorrow and will be able to squeeze out a recaplet, although it will seem more like a hefalumpcap, coming from me.

The more things change the more they seem the same. Padre is still wrestling for the souls of countless dolts; Leo (oh, my the sculpting with peanut butter had me in stiches) is still obsessed despite Carmen's sage counsel. Red Lips is still in the picture, but out of our daily need to see her; Ren's boots are getting taller, though; Mari does her rounds in high heels, but her feet never hurt; Liso and Flo aren't 100% liberated yet, maybe Daddy will come live with them; and Granny is still lobbing truthballs and never runs out of new shawls.
 

...and THANK YOU, Blue Lass for doing the heavy lifting for the last few weeks. It was such a treat to read your carefully, craftily, crafted creations on all things Puebla. And thank you to the little patio who keeps thing lively. Now we need an air conditioned tent house to keep our collective temperatures down. It's hot out there.

Now we all know, without it ever being mentioned on screen, that Al will turn out to be Leo's son. There's been nary a hint from Sara that she's been keeping an additional secret (having to marry off her daughter before she showed). However, I noticed that Amalita and Mari have a conversation regarding Mari's parentage. Amalita knew her mother, but no one knew her father. Hmmm, is this a significant teaser and he'll show up or is it a red herring?

Maybe Julio is secretly closeted and might be a good candidate for Cristian. Who carries around a frog bigger than himself. Oh, I forgot the tn rule, no more than two gay characters in a single tn. We've already reached our limit.


 

Judy, thanks for the tip on Ed's enunciation. I'll listen to him more carefully.

I think it's a feature of the older actors that they just came up in the business at a time when elocution was important. I should probably practice that myself -- after all, I do make my students call me "Doña."

Welcome back, Anita!!!!!!!!
 

Welcome back, Anita!

Julio's Elvis hair looked like a hairpiece stuck on top of his head.

Santi is doing a very good job of lifting his legs onto the bed, for a guy who has no feeling in said legs.

Rog's bad guy facial expressions sometimes border on cartoonish caricature. 😉

Alexis Ayala was such a horrible dirtbag in La Sombra, that I cannot believe how much I'm loving him as Fr Dan.

 

I agree Doris...Ayala is doing a great job with a wonderful part. I love that he calls God "el Jefe" and can switch between lofty moral advice and then some tell-it-like-it-is scolding. The writers have given him a can't fail persona for us to love.

Of course he gives Rafaela hives, ditto for Renata and his subhuman brother Damien. Is Damien's name supposed to make of think of "demon" and "demonic" because he certainly is.

Also agree about Rogelio's heh-heh-hey Wily E, Coyote looks. Guess he's having a hard time switching from his usual second-nice-galan-friend-of-top-rated-galan. Oh well. It's a paycheck.
 

Doris, I was thinking the same thing about Santi’s leg-lifting — I broke my kneecap last summer, and trust me, it doesn’t work like that AT ALL.
 

Episode #33 (if I counted correctly) Wed Jul 18–Pt. 1: A shadowy figure places a call to Renata

Mariela tells her 37 companions minus 1 that Alonso asked her to marry him and she said yes, but it’s secret (for appx. 37 minutes). Leo, the Minus Man goes back upstairs to suffer in silence and cry manly tears.

The police tell Noé he was assaulted and nearly shot if they hadn’t come along. He doesn’t believe them until he realizes his watch and wallet are missing. It doesn’t change his mind that it was something other than a simple robbery. He asks them to take him home, even though he drove there. Safely out of sight, Rog takes the money out of Noé’s wallet and throws the watch and the wallet away. The women fuss over Noé when he’s brought home.

Granny Sara gets fooled by Renata’s personality change. She now believes there’s some good in her for suggesting to Dem that he patch things up with Santi with a little love.

Rog, thwarted in liquidating his assault victim, decides to sexually assault Elena, though her protestations are heard through the house as he drags her toward the bedroom. Next morning Julio tells Elena of the assault. Rog comes out and acts surprised. Elena doesn’t make the connection at first.

Leo wants Padre Dan to stop the wedding. Leo believes Mari is in danger, if what happened to Noé happens to her. (This is called the great leap to conclusions. In this case he’s either wrong for the right reasons, or he’s right for the wrong reasons...juarever.) P.D. thinks Leo is jealous. Leo insists one thing has nothing to do with the other. It’s that he has this terrible foreboding in his belly, the same as he had when he was getting ready to run away with Lucía. He swears he will kill Dem if he harms Mari in any way.

Granny Sara admits to Rafie she may have judged Ren too harshly. She hopes with Dem’s change in attitude he will be able to show Santi the affection he never had before. Sara leaves and doesn’t hear Rafie chuckle that Ren’s change was all her idea.

Padre Dan stops in to visit Noé (I’m liking this actor more and more, despite his sweaters). He tells P.D. the assault was not a robbery but a warning to stay away from Elena. He had tried to talk to her about Rog’s true nature, but it was useless. Rog must have seen them together. There’s been bad blood between them for a long time.

Liso and Flor meet Mari in a restaurant. Flor asks forgiveness for how she treated Mari, spread gossip and smacked her. Oh, goody, they’re friends now (didn’t take much). Liso and Mari urge her to go see Santi at his house.

Santi is still acting like a jerk with his bro. (Should we give him a little slack for his physical status, even if he was the one who tried to commit suicide by accident?) He still accuses Al and the rest for not seeing Renata for the viper she is and yes, just like his father, he calls it like he sees it. When Al leaves, his real feelings come through as he hits his bedspread and the agony is apparent. Al worries to Sara that Santi’s bitterness will turn him into his father’s likeness. Mari gives Santi his first aqua-therapy.

Rog and Leo must have permits to carry. They confront and threaten each other in broad daylight on the steps of Quadrum as a security officer watches (or is he just a doorman). Leo repeats his threat to Dem if he so much as harms a hair on Mariela’s head. Leo leaves. Dem tells Rog there are better ways to take care of Leo. Dem confronts Rog about the little dust-up with Noé. Even though Rog denies it, Dem says they mustn’t do anything to stir up suspicion now for what comes later.
 

Wed Jul 18-Pt. 2
Al surprises his family by bringing Mari to dinner at their place. With Mari at his side, Al announces their upcoming nuptials.
Happy Faces: Padre Dan and Abuela Sara
Stunned Faces; Santiago and Demián
Neutral and then Fake Delight: Rafaela
Looking like she swallowed her viper: Renata, especially after she hears they plan to get married in two weeks. Somewhere in that room, someone let a little lamb loose and it’s looking for it’s mama. We hope she wasn’t on the menu. Dem loses his appetite, followed by Santi, followed by Rafie. Dan is persuaded to stay and finish his dinner before going to talk to Santi. Ren offers to help with the wedding plans (ya, right). P.D. chides the lovebirds for not telling Leo about their plans and suggests a truce between Leo and Al.

In the privacy of their bedroom, Dem tells Rafie he’s playing a part. He must calculate every move, every word carefully, working on this jigsaw puzzle he’s putting together. He’s going to fix things with Santi first. He assures Rafie the wedding will never take place. It’s in his plans. Rafie goes to Ren and tells her to dry her tears. The wedding will never take place. Dem has assured her. They have to trust him.

Liso “runs into” Cristian in the hospital coffee shop. Cristian is a little too forward with his approach, but in the end, he’s beginning to charm Liso with his little jokes. Liso is a little more comfortable in his presence, although he resists PDA and meeting up anyplace socially.

Padre Dan confesses to Santi that Santi is beginning to have feelings for Mariela and it’s not just bro-envy. Santi denies it although he feels that Mariela is the only one who cares for him and understands him. P.D. goes through the list of others who care for him, but Santi doesn’t care one whit about the others. P.D. tells him his feelings for Mari are an illusion, a form of escape from all the pain and to want something that belongs to Al, something he’ll never have. P.D. goes on to promise not to discuss what they talked about. Naturally, Sara has been waiting and wants to know what they talked about. She wants to help Santi. Just as P.D. is about to impart some of his wisdom to her, we are interrupted by the monthly Emergency Alert System Test. They just couldn’t wait until the commercials started, could they. Maybe what Padre had to say wasn’t all that important.
 

Wed Jul 18-Pt. 3
Al and Mari continue to celebrate with Sara. Then, un tal Fabricio Oribe calls the house. It’s for Renata. He hands the phone to her and he and Mari leave. Rafie watches the one-sided convo.
Ren hears Fabricio’s angry tirade that he had not been able to locate her for weeks. He swears he’ll make her pay.
Rafie hears Ren say she’ll call him when he’s not occupied.
Ren hears Fab (not one of “the” Fab ones) say she’ll be sorry if she disappears on him again. He calls her a maldita zorra.
Rafie hears Ren say for him not to worry and greetings to his family. Chau.
Ren tells Rafie he’s her father’s lawyer with a few things to tie up. Rafie and Sara look at each other—neither believing what they just heard.

Flor meets Dem on her way in to see Santi. Dem’s actually civil to her. Santi, on the other hand, treats her like dirt. He sends her away saying her good intentions are worthless and tells her not to come back. He doesn’t like her.

Rafie stops Ren out by the fountain to ask about her caller. She notes, now, that Ren never has received a call from her hometown before. Ren says they call on her cell, but she’s tried to sever all ties with the folks in Vallarta. What happened to her father is still too painful. (Hmm. Shall we speculate that he didn’t die a natural death?) Rafie says she noted how nervous she was to take the call. Ren explains that in addition to being her father’s lawyer, they were friends and he’s known Ren all her life.

Dem comes in to ask Santi’s forgiveness for how he spoke to Santi regarding the break-up with Flor (just before the drunken accident). He explains that he was the one who wanted the marriage so much and also for never having been a good father to him. He proposes to make up for it by naming him Director of Finances when he returns to work. Furthermore, he’s making Santi his anointed successor to all things Quadrum. Cara de impactada de Santi.
 

Thank you, Blue Lass. I am sorry thatch did not get to see the kitty cat shirt 👕🐱and pirate boots👢. I am trying to picture your shirt with the U U on it! Funny.

Wow, that you was a speedy quick proposal from Al.

Christian is pretty fickle. I remember him looking dreamily at Leo in the not too distant past.
 

Welcome back, Anita, and Thank you for that snappy recap of all the happenings.
 

Thanks, Anita.

Susanlynn, this is the quickest noviazgo ever. Loved the reaction at the table at “the wedding in two weeks” announcement. Demián losing his appetite was the best.

I am cutting Santiago a lot of slack.

Where would they all be without Sara and Father Dan?
 

Anita - thank you for your recap!

Interesting scene where Sara was in Ren's room, and Sara's hot pink cardigan (how it looked on our TV screen) matched the hot pink decor of Ren's room.

Santi sitting in that red tufted wing chair in his office looks like Lucifer. Any minute horns will sprout from his head and this pointy tail will wave up.

Is TelenovelaLand the only place in the world where engagements last two weeks??? No showers, teas, or invitations. Gads, they're $aving mountain$ of money!

Do we want to place bets on whether said wedding will actually take place in "two weeks" (intelenovela time)? Or will the "bodus interruptus" bingo square get marked?

How many doctors also have time for Physical/Aqua Therapy with patients? Oh, never mind, I need to find my beanie hat.
 

Doris--Obvio the wedding will not take place. Bingo card #13 says Derailed Wedding. I want that square!

I also have to have "Galan engaged to someone other than protagonist." Somehow, Demian will make it happen. It will probably be a fake pregnancy, which is not on my card and I DON'T want Real Pregnancy--but if it is, it's probably Ren's and Santi's.

I got Main Couple Become Engaged, though. I want Kissing on the Beach, too.

The only ones I won't probably get are obvious product placement--unless it was how to test your blood daily, for diabetes patients.
 

Doris, maybe that pink cardigan was camouflage.
 

"BTW, The young actor playing Santiago plays Julieta’s younger bro in MMTF."
Yeesh, I didn't even notice. Is he making a career out of playing the annoying (polite term) younger brother?

 

doris, he (Federico Ayos) also had a role in "La candidata" as Regina's obnoxious son. It will be interesting to see what kind of roles he grows into.
 

Yes, Federico has the obnoxious son role down pat. Time to move on.

Thanks Anita for a great recap. Loved this :


Mariela tells her 37 companions minus 1 that Alonso asked her to marry him and she said yes, but it’s secret (for appx. 37 minutes). Leo, the Minus Man goes back upstairs to suffer in silence and cry manly tears.

Leo certainly is the Minus Man...annoying me more each episode with his moping, his inappropriate lust for his protegé and his tendency to whip out a gun repeatedly. Dude, grow up!

Must say I admired the skill of the actor playing Demian last night. He really did give a very convincing rendition of a "heartfelt apology". I assume there is some devious reason for making Santiago Head of Finance, but he sure set it up in a can't-fail way.

I'm getting a little nervous about this "muerte en vida" plan of Demian's. Can't be good. But the recap sure was. Thanks Anita. And welcome back!
 

Thanks, Anita!!! Great recap with lots of colorful brushstrokes.

BTW, we DO have "obvious product placement" -- while you were gone, there was a prominently placed whisky bottle (label facing camera) and some equally well-lighted bottles of water in the cafeteria.

Judy, I think Dem is setting Santi up to take the fall for the firm's "falta de liquidez." But I agree, he was very convincing -- didn't know he had it in him.
 

My card has "derailed wedding" AND "main couple break up," so I'm hoping for both.
 

Demian's turn about face could also be a way to stick it to Alonso to show his displeasure at Al's novia and upcoming wedding. Can he bribe Al into leaving Mari in return for his future financial position and security?

True, Dem's counting on Ren's inheritance, but right now he can't touch it. What to do, what to do. Of course, neither he nor we know what to make of the threatening phone call Ren got. It MUST have something to do with money. Isn't that the foundation for nearly all telenovelas?

If he sticks it to Santi for the financial debacle that's coming, what does Dem gain? He's still bankrupt. At least Alonso can hang out his shingle as a solo architect and make it on his and his doctor wife's salary (me thinks). What does Santi fall back on? And dear Rafie--she'll have to cut her hair and sell it for wigs. Sara will come out ok. It's still her house and her property. She and the young'uns will still have shelter. She'd probably have to let Elena go. She could have a yard sale and get rid of all her shawls, some of the furniture, paintings and knick-knacks to keep Elena on, if she's still among the living.

As annoying as a jealous Leo is right now, he wouldn't let Mari go hungry and without shelter (or clothing). He seems not to be a poor starving artist.

Basta with the speculation. I'm really enjoying the ride.
 

Dem's turn about face was NOT sincere. He as much told Rafie he was calculating every move and everything he says very carefully. IMHO, it's all staged. We just don't know yet what he's planning, since he won't tell Rafie or Rog.
 

" Of course, neither he nor we know what to make of the threatening phone call Ren got. It MUST have something to do with money. Isn't that the foundation for nearly all telenovelas?"
Yes. I think she has no money or is being blackmailed, or on the brink of being blackmailed, and she came to Dem-landia to run away from this guy.

My two bingo cards are pitiful. Maybe I need to choose better ones. LOL

Dem is a true sociopath with no conscience. Clearly Santi is a pawn in his game and the fallout won't be pretty.
 

I won't be able to watch today's epi until I get home, so look for the Thursday header after dinner.
 

Who has obvious product placement on their cards. I'm thinking the folks who make those fabulous ponchos for Sara must be getting orders out the wazoo. I'd love to have every single one of them. Envidia...one of the seven deadly sins, alas.
 

JudyB--Wait until her yard sale, you may be able to pick up a few at a bargain.

Blue Lass, I'm sorry I can't help out until next week--family visit in the summer is not a bargain, but is a blessing.
 

No worries, Anita. I was happy to get the break! We'll see you when you come back up for air.
 

Hi guys, I haven't been around lately but I have been watchin on and off. I must say this one is good and very fun
To watch and read.
I gotta say Alexa...I can't think of his last name but he is damn good at playin the bad guy. But in this one he
Is playin the good priest, in this one and he is as sweet in this as he is super nasty when he plays super nasty.

Rogelio? And his weasel brother Damian
They are the funniest crooked bad guys
I've seen on a long time. And Rog is so Sneaky.

I was really shocked when I saw who was playing the priest. I thought he was a dirty priest, but he's a good one.
I'm gonna comment as much I can for the rest of this fun fest. And as for those affairs, what is that woman thinking having an affair with that weasely damian? She dat hard up? I
Guess so.

Thank you Blue Lass this was good and
Sassy.
 

I got "no puede ser!" on my bingo card today, after Leo's chat with Mariela.
I guess there is no Spanish translation of "Eeeew! Gross me out!"

One of my cards (#10) has "derailed wedding" and "Main couple break up" so I predict we'll have that one checked off soon.

"JudyB--Wait until her yard sale, you may be able to pick up a few at a bargain." LOL!!!
If not there, then perhaps MetaMart on the Patio will have some.
 

Doris, there IS a Spanish "Eeeew!" -- or at least a Mexican one -- "!Guacala!" Diego Rivera's littlest daughter on Amorcito Corazon used to say it all the time.
 

Thnx Blue Lass. Guacala! Mari was so gobsmacked she probably didn't think of that one.
