E-Mail from WOW on vacation

If you thought my blog took the style "Stream of Unconsciousness" maybe this will explain where that sensibility comes from. My Mom's e-mails have always been very entertaining (WOW is MOM upside down and backwards if you haven't figured that out) She writes as if she's talking to you on the phone or scribbling a note for you on the kitchen counter. This has been compounded on her recent vacation by an unfamiliar keyboard with lots of new punctuation marks and a very limited smattering of Spanglish.

if this old equipment is my only problem than so be it----the blasted beloved dash is in the wrong place, a different place, a mexican place so i am always typing a`instead of a ---- but i´``

ll figure it out---

so far so good---travelling was fine--no bumps and when i realized that i didn´t have to go to customs in huston and not until leaon iwas thrilled but was a bit worried about them confiscating

my necessary granola supply----customs in mexico was a breeze----

the house is great---barbara would like more ammentities but i am happy--we each have our own bathrooms and there is even an other one!!!!!i have only a single bed and barb has a king but there are

cot like couches and sofas--4--big living room, kitchen and solarium----my room jhas heavy doos that open to a lovely vine covered balcony for veiwing not titting and barbs has a narrow balony---thire is a big roof but no nothing so we may buy some beach chairs

this key bo ard is fun--ooops-- we took a hair raising ride in the giant suv yesterday--yoiks--the winedy hills---

i want to walk more and check out the lay of the lan today---more later---oh i passed my time on my plane rides doing sudoko--i worked on only 2 pussles for the full 5 or so hours--yoiks---sat next to a man in a turban who reeked jof garlic--you know my nose, but he was very plesant and liked puzzles---he had a magazine called mental floss for brainics not novice puzzlers like me---love, mom'wow'jill

the mexican keyboard is different i still can`t figure out how to use the back slach, the --- is in a different place and i can´t use the ``at`` symbol---i may go to an internet cafe to write some more journal stuff and ask them----but i do have a ñññññ ÑÑÑÑÑÑ isn´`t that cute???


again i must say that things are going better than i expected---we even got to watch the academy awards---we went to a neat restaurant that has a sort of theartre upstairs, so it was an oscars party--yeah for´`crash`and wallace and gromit`---i had just seen the newirths dvd when they visited---i want my cheese gromit!!!!!

is there any national local or international new i should know about¿¿¿¿¿¿

and this is the upside down !!!!¿¿¿¿¿¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ it is not a iiiiii little I iiiii¡¡¡¡¡

aye aye aye

did you hear that the horn---carters are coming in april for an early seder¿¿¿¿ so happy---love, wow

and here is another thingÑÑÑÑÑññññññ but no back slach or ``at``

the àt`is on the q Q key but i don`t know how to access it---silly jilly

ps are you going to the dinner at your job for the book and cook¿¿¿remind terry about it---

If you know my Mom you can hear her voice in her e-mails. If you don't - she's really not crazy - I promise. Maybe just a little spelling impaired. Anyway WOW, good to hear from you.
