Sunday Lunch

Sunday December 14

Jayne and I went to visit Eduardo and Cecelia’s home. Eduardo is the Godfather of Matt and Amparo’s son, Francois. We were not early but we were still the first ones there. Later Judith and her father came. I think they were out shopping. I had brought over a bottle of champagne.

Later Matt and his family arrived though Amparo came by herself. I don’t know why he doesn’t wait until she is ready to come with her. After all, she carried the baby by herself.

Juan and David work together selling waterless cookware. I was told they work on a commission of which they get 15% (it’s divided between them). And it’s set up as a multi-level marketing system. The company is out of Madison, Wisconsin. They seem to be doing quite well. Juan said that he sold $10,000 the past month, so out of that he gets $1,500. This is much more than if you were even a skilled worker in Ecuador.

I hope for continued success for both of them.

We had a nice lunch of soup, potatoes, salad, corn and meat. I didn’t eat the meat of course. For dessert they had canned peaches. It always seems that they alsways have canned fruit for dessert. I don’t know why as fresh fruit is always better and healthier. But Jayne guessed that to them canned is a luxury – strange!

I had made copy of the Christening before I left. I had Judith make a copy for their records as I told her that the CD is for Matt. He would have to get the CD so he can take it home and put it on his computer, whereas Judith had the computer at her home to make a copy.

They all enjoyed the pictures.

After a conversation we listened to David play the piano.

Jayne and I left about 4.30pm. It was raining in the afternoon, so Juan called a taxi to pick us up. This is much better than what we had to go through last night, and it just cost $10 for the ride home.
