Sunday September 27 and Monday September 28, 2009
Since it is 5pm on Monday and I didn’t write yesterday’s blog, I’m going to combine the two. So here goes, let’s see if I remember yesterday! I also have to apologize in regards to the pictures I put up on the blog yesterday. When I got the pictures up on the blog it gave me enough room beside the pictures to write what it is about, but when I posted it, it got all jumbled up. So when I post more pictures there will not be any explanation.
We love our visitors, but boy it is nice to be alone too. We woke up late, ok Ross woke up late I woke up at 8:30 it seemed like I was awake forever until I got up. It has been a fabulous day, we putzed around for a while when all of a sudden Ross started to clean up all his equipment he has had sitting on the patio outside since he took it out of the trailer, and guess what he said when he got it cleaned up……………now I get to get the new drums. (I had told him he could buy Oscar’s Drums if he cleaned it up) (I will put a picture of our nice a clean patio, Ross does have a couple of things still there but I have tried to hide it with the red BBQ centre).
We had a really wicked thunderstorm early last night; we went up to the Bucerias Weather Station (the BWS) to watch it, wow, there was almost constant lightning and the thunder was incredible. The clouds were coming from the west very quickly and butting up against the mountains.
Ross cooked some great steak last night for supper and we had a last soak in the pool before we had to drain it in order to rescue the foot for the frame from underneath the pool. They were missing the foot when Ross and handyman put the pool up but they couldn’t find it, apparently Ross walked all around the bottom of the pool to smooth it out and to get out all the creases, the foot was in the very centre of the pool.
I have been conversing with some new friends via e-mail, Deb and Ron going to be moving down here and I have trying to help them out by answering questions they have (there are always questions when you plan a move like this). They are coming down next on the 20th of October so we are hoping to get together for supper and get acquainted; we are looking forward to meeting them.
We went to bed after watching some Corrie Street (we have two Sundays of programs to watch). It rained most of the night so it was quite cool to sleep.
Ross had a crappy sleep last night, he was awake most of the night, brain would not shut off, so today isn’t the best day in paradise. After lounging around and having coffee we got our butts into gear and took back the safe we have just bought at Costco the other day, it was locked and no key and/or instructions. It is very difficult to take anything back here in Mexico. If it was broken when you bought it, well, why did you buy it!!!!! But it was great, we had no hassle at all, they credited my credit card and we were done. This is the first time in history that we went to a Costco and didn’t buy anything (except for hotdogs and pop for lunch, they have great hotdogs, but that doesn’t count).
After getting back from Costco, (and after I changed into my wonderful new sarong, it is cool to wear in this heat, thanks to Lynn, she had one and it looked so comfy that when we went to the market I bought 3) I took the sheets out of the dryer that Lynn and Trina used, then got into the pool and slowly, ever so slowly, pushed the foot out from underneath the pool floor. I have both hoses filling it back up, we do have the option of the fire department coming over to fill it up, but that seems wrong somehow.
Ross is taking some speakers over to Philo’s I think he is trading them for a sand filter for our pool. The sky is clouding back up again; I think we are in for another down pour, which will be good, as it will help fill up our pool!
Some excitement for tomorrow, Wal-Mart opens in Mexcales tomorrow; we are going to pop over there after our shift at the office! I think that’s it for today, if anything exciting happens later I’ll let you know tomorrow.
Everyone have a great night!
As always, Ross and Kim in Paradise
