Morning gang My thrift shop coworkers gave me a going away party yesterday. They had tres leche cake, a lovely card and a pair of earrings...more than my "real job" did for me when I retired. I will miss them. Today I think we are going to the dolfinarium (sea animal zoo) if it's open...the website sa6s it is but mexican…

Morning BBB Safe travels Lee. Long trek with just the dogs to keep him company. Mary the first snow is always the best..enjoy your time off. I have my last volunteer shift today. It was fun but boy does it make me glad I'm not full time anymore. We found and booked a storage garage for the car near Houston. The first place…

Morning BBB Up way earlier than I like but got to see a pretty amazing sunrise. Heading to the gym this morning then no plans. Laundry, if the water is back on.

Morning gang My Dr appointment went well. He said my cholesterol was high but not so high to warrant drugs. He was happy with my small weight loss and suggested much more and then to retest cholesterol. I'm happy...I didn't want the hassle of a Rx while traveling. He also said my proteins were low...I was tested before we…

Morning gang Less busy day today. I have my follow up Dr appointment and spanish lessons this afternoon. I assume a hike in between and we need to find a storage garage in Houston today. We won't have water starting midday tomorrow for a day or so. Our condo has a storage tank so we should be fine as long as I don't do…

Morning gang I like the new ww photo scan app. I find it to be pretty accurate. We are invited to Christmas at the house of one of my coworkers at the thrift shop. So far 28 on the guest list..we know half or so. We are taking our liquor cabinet since we are leaving Mexico soon after the party. I plan to make a few recipe…

Morning gang The Christmas market was a huge success yesterday. Our group supports the clinic and ambulance service. I sold raffle tickets. Most people bought 200peso worth (about $10) I won a dental cleaning at the place I have an appointment on Tuesday. Then we had a bake sale, silent auction and vendors rent tables if…

Morning BBB Where did the week go. Can't believe it's Friday already. I have my volunteer gig today followed by happy hour. Tomorrow is the Christmas bazzar...I volunteered to work that too. It starts at 8am and is outdoors so I'll need to bring a jacket...it will be cold until the sun is high. Cold like 60 lol. We are…

Morning gang Took Ron to the doctor yesterday. He thinks it's just a pinched nerve and prescribed motrin. But if not significantly better in 3 days will do an ultrasound to rule out a blood clot. Neither think it is gout because Ron knows what that feels like, his gout med did nothing to relieve and not red and hot. Today…

Morning gang Ron's foot is still all swelled up and tender. We will stop by the clinic on the way home from spanish classes. I also have a cut and color scheduled...it's way past time. My Christmas shopping is done. My sister and I gifted dad and Missy tickets to see Mannheim steamroller, dinner and a hotel. I just had to…

Morning gang Ooh a new puppy. Enjoy Bermuda. Nothing new going on here.
-
Morning BBB Ron foot is still aching today so I foresee a day of video games and trip planning. OK by me. He doesn't think it's gout as it's deep in his foot and not in the toe joint like usual. I'm guessing too many days walking barefoot on tile floors and too much weight on heel raises at the gym on Thursday. He has a…

Morning BBB Congrats Skip. That's a huge loss. Dennis what a milestone. Kudos. Ron's foot is acting up today so we are canceling our planned hike. I won't complain...my allergies have been kicking my *kitten* this week. So we are going for a drive soon then more trip planning this afternoon. Need to get the storage unit in…

Morning BBB What a lovely cityscape Dennis. Enjoy your sea days. Do you have the wifi package? I was up #1 at WI yesterday. Expected with the sugar fest that was Thanksgiving plus the dragonfruit farm tour. This week we have no big eating/drinking plans. Happy hour after work today but nothing else on the books I can't…

Morning BBB It's chilly here this morning ~55...so the heat is on 8n the living room and I'm sitting in the with the sun shining in. I am rethinking my backpack to include another sweater or baselayer. Today is spanish class then I think we are taking a scenic drive. May get out and hike too. Definitely need to get some…

Morning BBB Dragonfruit farm tour was both educational and fun. The Italian fest with Mexican inspiration was delicious. I tried a bit of everything but didn't get seconds of anything. The beef pot roast was perfect. We don't eat much meat but if this was served everywhere I might change my mind. Today is gym, Spanish…
-
Morning gang Busy day today. Off to spanish class then the gym. We will have to hurry home for leftover lunch because we are taking a tour of a dragonfruit farm today. It's an all day event with a hike to a cactus field, tour of the farm, drinks and food. It's one of those weather days where I'm not sure what to wear...it…

Morning gang. Dennis Normandy is a definate wonder. Our Thanksgiving was nice. Met over a dozen new people. Food was good but honestly not as good as my sister makes. However someone brought tres leches cake. It's heavenly. Today totally back on plan to flush out all the extra sugar I ate...wine and cake. I was down 1.3 at…

Morning gang Skip i had to watch the video twice...I thought the wheels where blinged out...just a headlamp. Dad and step-mom are in Ohio visiting her family for Thanksgiving. Got the happy Thanksgiving text at 6:10am. I'm sure sister 3 is cooking not sure about sister 2. We are heading to the gym soon for our…

Morning BBB Have a wonderful cruise. We have spanish lessons this morning ( my homework was to find out why black boards went from black to green to white) I know in English (thanks chatGPT)but now need to describe in spanish in a way my classmates will understand. Then I'm meeting a friend. I commissioned her to make a…

Morning gang Housing prices are so varied. I just looked on zillow the other day and our old house is +/- 400k. 4 bedroom, 3 bath with den, full finished basement, backing to Greenspace. But nebraska is LCL area with lots of space. Parrothead meet-up was fun. Our Spanish class ran long so late for gym then late getting…

Morning gang Busy day. We spent yesterday planning onward travel so need to do some back Friday shopping. I'll need a raincoat for sure and just bought global sim cards. Spanish class, gym, then a parrothead meet-up round out the day.
-
Morning gang Enjoy the new ride. We hike the Nacapule Canyon yesterday. It was a short but difficult out and back. We didnt even do the hardest part...rope ladders and bridges arent my thing. There is a waterfall at the end but it's dry this time of year. Should have gone when we first arrived as it was the very end of the…
-
He is adorable Lou. Congrats. Glad the meds helped last night. New vehicle arrival should help too. I used just over half of my weeklies yesterday...pancake breakfast followed by happy hour/lunch out with coworkers. Only other planned event is parrothead meet-up on Monday. I plan for one margarita and 2 shots of Bacanora.…

Morning friends Up in time to see the sunrise today. That doesn't happen to me often. Today is my volunteer gig then happy hour. I have food prepped for when we get home so I don't eat out and have my lunch packed. Ron forgets to eat lunch before he comes so I might make pancakes in a minute. I was down .9 at my WI…

Morning BBB Glad the terrible weather missed you Dave. I thought today was the trip and hoped you wouldn't have a terrible drive. Yesterday we decided to drive to Kino Bay. It was about 2 hours away. It's another sea side town that may be an option to stay some year. It seem more "weekend getaway" and was extremely quiet…
