So, our neighbors are tearing down their house... In America if there is a house near you doing construction, then you might hear a little bit of hammering and sawing and things like that during the day.... As you can see, our houses are a lot closer together than most in America... our walls are connected! Do you see the white wall on the right in the picture below? That's our house :) haha! It's been funny to feel the vibrations (and the loud sounds) as they're using sledge hammers to destroy the existing house. You can't imagine how loud it is!!! Luckily it doesn't bother us... after about a day of it we were able to tune it out! haha! On another deconstruction kind of note... remember our Mangoes ? The tree that hangs over our balcony was growing mangoes... Now, most of them are gone! Even before they ripened!

OK, so this may not be that exciting to you, but our neighbors have a mango tree!!! Last year, it didn't have mangoes , but this year it does!! They just started growing and they're growing fast! I can't wait! Mango season is quickly approaching! YUM!! Anybody have some good mango recipes? I like to make Mango smoothies... but here's my favorite Mango recipe :) (If you don't have access to mangoes , or don't want to spend the money, Apples work great in this recipe) :) Mango Cobbler Preheat oven to 350 degrees TOPPING ¼ c Flour ¾ c Oats ¾ c Brown Sugar 1 tsp Cinnamon ½ c Butter Optional – chopped walnuts as desired Slice mango fairly thin to cover the bottom of the pan – depending on the amount of mango you want. (if you want apple, do the same thing… peel it if you don’t want peel… and you can also do a mix of mango and apple). I can't remember how long to cook it - I think about 15 minutes :)
