I believe I mentioned in a previous post that we brought with us a new Mexican hammock for the homeowner to replace his old one, which was falling apart. Deborah took it upon herself to try to fix the old hammock, and I’m happy to report she has succeeded. She spent about a month working on it. It took that long because a) it was too tedious to work on for very long at a time, and b) Semoko’s puppy kept playing with it and unraveling several hours worth of effort with each burst of mischievous canine energy. Deborah really had to remake a large portion of the hammock, including splicing in some new string, and somehow keep track of its intricate woven geometry – not a trivial task. But the result looks near as new. So now we have a second hammock and find we are using it just as much as the larger one that we brought. We seldom share the big hammock anymore, which was always a bit awkward anyway, but instead just wave cordially to each other from opposite sides of the deck.
