The Wee Mule

With two suitcases full of surprises for her Panamanian pair, Mom Clem hopped a flight to visit us here in Boquete. It was a veritable Christmas morning opening her bags full of our special requests from "The States". This included Randy's oldie-but-goodie electric orange juicer (the oranges bordering our property are sensational but the juicers they have here are crap), our fly fishing wading boots (since we've now found the rivers in which to use them) and Hormel chili with Fritos. I miss Sonic Frito Chili Pies SO BADLY! Here is a picture of Mom and me enjoying a delicious chili pie together...

We affectionately called Mom our little mule. She hauled our goodies down to us and then after a wonderfully memorable visit, lugged 21 bags filled with coffee from our very own MaƱana Madera (very exciting!) back to the US for friends and relatives to enjoy. Thanks for a wonderful visit Mom-we love you!

What a cute little mule she is!!! I wish I could have gone in her suitcase! Miss you guys and can't wait until John and I can be mules for you as well! Mom said it's just fantastic in Bouquete. Love you both!

Hormel chili with Fritos. I can feel my arteries closing, my veins clogging, my heart skipping beats, my hips swelling and my belly drooping over my drawers, but damn... that's good eatin'.
