The New Rice-paddy and Coconut-grove we bought in Omanod Village, in Nov-Dec 2010 |
Next: Land in Bunawon District Lourdes Building our House in Dumaguete Balanan Lake Resort Dumaguete Cathedral & Lourdes Shrine San-shin Index Page |
to expand our agricultural operations, we acquired the irrigated rice-paddy in the foreground and the coconut-grove seen behind (but not the rice-field in-between -- not yet) |
Lourdes and cousin Yang-yang, 16-yr-old from a deep-mtn village who we are putting thru high school |
Lou's mom, Aunt Passig, Lou, Yang-yang |
Rowena, 17, also from a deep-mtn village, recently hired as Lou's housemaid, in her crisp new uniform |
our old fishing-boat, seaworthy but drydocked for now, will be very useful again when we can get a new engine on it -- fishing is fairly good off the south coast, and restricted to small local boats |
Our land (everything to the right of where Lou is standing in distance) post-rice-harvest, when i visited it with her in January 2011. |
ours includes that line of coconut trees, but not the buildings or banana trees behind it |
