We woke up to no hot water and no dryer. Handyman came over and the pilot light had gone out of our water heater (remember it is outside and it rained like hell last night with a lot of wind) so he lit it again but it’s been a couple of hours now and still no hot water. Handyman is coming tomorrow or Monday to hook up my dryer. Juan sent a couple of his boys over to adjust the doors of my china cabinet and tried to put in one of our shelves and it is too small and the other one is not a mirror image, I ended up having two rights, Juan just left and put up the correct shelves, finally, they were supposed to in when they were delivered in April.

Not much to say today, Lily is here and I have laundry up on the line. We hear thunder every once in a while, I hope it doesn’t rain like it did last night, or we won’t be able to go out for dinner. We are going to a very Mexican restaurant tonight along the lateral (the road beside the highway) and it was running like a river last night when Ross went to his meeting last night. I found the DVD that has Ross’s old band on it “Capital Newz” and we are watching it and realizing we are missing every one so much!

It is now 11:45 (10:45 your time) and we just got back from our new favorite restaurant in Nuevo called Riviera where Jennifer works, she is going to house sit for us when we go to Vegas for the 3 dog night and the Canned Heat concerts. I think I told you this Laurie, but I told Jen about you and your heart to heart hugs, she is now doing this also. We got there tonight after our wonderful dinner at the new restaurant and she met us with a heart to heart hug. We could get a ride on the 40’ sailboat of Maurice’s but there is a tropical storm off the coast tomorrow and they are calling for 100% humidity, too rainy for me I’m afraid!

I guess that’s it for today, we are just going to veg out and watch tv. Ross reminded me to let you all know that when we were driving home from Nuevo tonight we were pulled over for a check stop (well actually everyone got pulled over, they closed the highway and made everyone stop). He asked what Ross was drinking and he pulled a bottle of water out of the cup holder and told him agua (water) he pointed to me and said she drinks. The guy laughed and let us go through. It is great that Mexico has adopted the no drinking no driving concept, and it is somewhat to do with the gringos, they have been trying to educate everyone here that drinking and driving does not go together!
