Pista ni San Isidro Labrador

continuation of the Batch '63 saga. We trooped to Armi's house in Bantan. The pictures are self explanatory. We will again meet at Butch Bautista's house on Friday, 21May. Frank H will be returning to the US on 23May and Butch on the 27th. Expect a lot of Karaoke singning on the 21st as we did have some practice at Armi's house. As usual I'm the guy behind the lens.

birthdays

We celebrated the birthdays of 3 celebrants: Luz Saul. Minervina and Perlita on 13May at Minervina's husband's house. As usual we had a sumptous meal of pancit palabok, ukoy and, surprise: hot pan de sal with sardinas! Dessert was provided by Bert Bautista who bought 2 gallons of ice cream. The after dinner discussion was highlighted by a post election analysis with the usual debate defending each choice of candidate. Everbody agreed to go to Armando's house in Bantan this Saturday as it is the feast of San Isidro Labrador. So there will be a sequel to this blog which will highlight this affair.Ben Ruben also has gone back to Australia on 14 May
