Hope House Home for Boys

The cards that I sell here in Chapala and Ajijic, Mexico benefit the dental program for the boys at Hope House in the nearby village of Ixlahuacan. There are close to 30 boys at the home and many of them come to the home having received no dental treatment. If you live here at Lakeside and would like to order a quality, hand crafted card for a special occasion and help me contribute to this worthy cause, please e-mail me at bettyinchapala@yahoo.com Card price is 50 pesos; the entire sales price is donated to Hope House.

Restaurant Paintings


Hello, friends! Larry and I had lunch at a restaurant in Ajijic called Tango last week. The company was excellent (our friends Sharon & Ed joined us) and the food was absolutely delicious! Having been here before, I knew that there were some paintings in the ladies room that I wanted to share with you, so after our meal I headed to the back with my camera at my side.

The first painting is a real riot! When you "take a seat", this is what you see painted on the inside of the stall door................. oh yes, I am not kidding -- isn't this a hoot!???? Olga, I can just hear you laughing like crazy!!


This is the second painting I wanted to share -- you see such beautiful children here -- the big brown soulful eyes; you just have to stop yourself from hugging every sweet little one you pass by!

The last painting is one of a cat -- again, very soulful eyes. You see signs of such marvelous talent here -- from paintings, murals on walls of houses, decorative art pieces, beaded necklaces and earrings, beautifully painted and glazed vases, flower pots, etc. And that is just the tip of the iceberg! Thanks for letting me share another tidbit of my life here in Mexico! Hope you enjoyed it!
