Our Edmonton phone number is 780-669-7520 anyone in Edmonton can call it free and get to me if you’re not in Edmonton it will cost the same as calling Edmonton! Gaye-Lynn I called you earlier but you weren’t home, we’ll call again tomorrow!

Hurray! It is a very red letter day here is Bucerias. At 10am Liverpool was at our gate with my Baby’s keys, at 10:15 TelMex called and said they will be over (we have internet! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay) and our VoIP phone works. I called Pamela at home and on her cell, no answer, what a bummer, but we did talk with Barbara (Ross’s Mum) Marilyn, (Ross’s sister) and we left messages on both Ashleigh and Tara’s cell phones. I just called my son Stacy in South Carolina, it’s all for freeeeeeeeeeeeeee. You can call me free if you live in Edmonton at 780-669-7520 or if you’re not, it will cost you to call Edmonton.

After getting showered and stuff I took off to Pemex to get some gas for baby and Ross filled her up and off I went. It’s kinda hard because the bike is sooooooooo heavy. I was going along great until I ran into some soft sand and down I went. Road Rash! Some guys in a truck stopped and helped me pick up baby, another girl helped me get her started, (she wouldn’t start) all the while I’m in shock and I’m bleeding from the knee, elbow and top of foot. But I got back on her and drove her home. Once I got into the yard I yelled for Ross to help me get her up on her stand (she is too heavy for me, I found the kick stand, I’ll have to use that) he said I should let you do it by yourself because you will have to do it eventually, I yelled, I’m bleeding, come help. That’s when he came to help, men! You have to be half dead!

It is so nice to be on the internet at our own house! I got a hold of Pamela, she was out driving with Lexi, and apparently she is getting better at driving. Pam told me she is going out with Ross’s daughter Ashleigh for her 20th birthday party, what fun! I have spoken with Stacy, and Jessie is going into the hospital on Monday, they are going to move the baby’s head down and will induce her, if this doesn’t work they will have to do a C section. So either way I’m gonna be a Nanny again! Hurray!

Handyman and friend are out in the yard working on the pool pad. They say that they will be done tonight; it really looks like rain so I don’t know how far they are going to get.

If you open this website http://www.banderas news.com/ 0909/eden- turtletalk. htm and you go down to the second last paragraph you will see our names thanking us for doing pizza for the turtle guys! My name has never been in print before! It’s kinda cool. I think I might print it!

We were going to go to Bucerias Gardens (a restaurant close to the beach) and when we got there at 7 they were closed. The Twisted Rose Restaurant is really close to it so the 10 of us went in for a great supper. I had the Texas burger and Ross had a Crocodile burger, he won’t order that again but enjoyed the other half of my burger I couldn’t eat. It came with fries, which were delicious and Michelle, the server was great, she didn’t even flinch when we asked for separate bills.

Off to Philos in La Cruz for Ross to play and “GET PAID FOR IT”, well he didn’t get paid before we left a midnight but I’m sure Philo will give him his 200 pesos. We have been invited to Oscar’s house, the great sax and guitar player that plays at Philos on Tuesday at 2 for a get together, we are to bring our bathing suits because he has a pool. I had a nail appointment for 2 but what the hell; I’ll cancel and make another. We met Cheryl and Paul at Philos, they are realtors with John and Christie also, and had a great time talking with them. They live at the Flamingos, I haven’t been there but I hear they are nice, and we found out that Lisa Hewitt the Country singer we had at an ABPAS event lives right beside them, she comes down in February and we are going to see if she will do some jamming, won’t that be fun.

Cheryl and Paul volunteer at the recycling depot we have here in Bucerias and she wants me to come down to see what they are up to. She says they have so much fun and it is really close to our house. I hear it is kinda a really dirty job but she said they have so much fun she doesn’t think of it. Now you have to know that Paul had volunteered for a long time and he told the group that Cheryl was going to come help and they said “the princess is coming to help us?” They are I think in their 30’s and come from Calgary. He owns a construction company and flies home quite a bit, I think Cheryl lives here year round.

Well, gotta go to bed now, it’s almost 1am and I have to get up at 8 to let Handyman and friend in to finish the pool pad and put our stairs up. They need to start early as Handyman has to start his other job at noon. Gosh he is always working, I told him he better be nice to his wife when he is home because she has 3 kids to look after when he is working. I’m sure her Mum lives close as do all the Mexican families (or most of them) so I’m sure she gets help, but it’s just not the same when your husband isn’t home!

Everyone have a great Sunday
Ross and Kim
