Another glorious day in Paradise. We actually woke up at 10 and got up! We had a wonderful cup of coffee out on the patio then decided we better get a move on to get some stuff done. After our showers we took off to John and Christie’s to 1) see where our reimbursement cheque is from the insurance company 2) phone TelMex to see where our internet is 3) see if the pension cheque went into the bank cause Ross couldn’t find it deposited in our bank 4) To check e-mails wow, and we got them all done. The cheque is in the mail (ya right) I am now on the number 2 list for TelMex (more important than number 1 that I was), pension chq went into the bank, and e-mails are done!

We went to see Juan, he was supposed to be at our house at 2 pm (I called his phone twice and got voicemail twice) to take the trailer to his shop to sell. We stopped by his place on the way to Mega and ended up buying a table kinda thingy (you will have to come see it, I can’t describe it) painted red (Rojo) because that is the colour we are going to have our steps painted, oh ya, he is gonna come to our house tomorrow to move the trailer. We can never go to his shop without buying something, he has great wooden furniture. Off to Mega and we got a couple of things we need (Lily wants sandpaper to clean the toilets (I’m gonna watch her so she doesn’t ruin the porcelain) and she wants a longer mop to clean the floors) some milk and a few other things.

Besides typing the blog, with a glass of wine of course, I have Ross (my hunny the drummer), Ralph (bass player) and Gene (guitar player) sitting in the living room listening to Ralph’s cd as they are going to be playing together every Thursday night at a bar in a small beach town about 30 minutes away from Bucerias. Apparently they get 1500 pesos along with free drinks, food and a Room, I get every Thursday to my self when I don’t go which I think will be often as we will need a babysitter for our babies if we both go. We are off to Philo’s for the jam night (all 4 of us), I don’t know whether or not I’ll continue this tonight or just say good night now. We’ll just have to wait and see!

Hi, I’m back, we had a great time a Philo’s, we had a very long brown out but the power came back to life and they played for a while. Philo has asked Ross to play Saturday night because his regular drummer can’t make it so it looks like we will be there on Saturday night also! It’s tough being retired! We stopped at Eugene’s house cause we are taking him to the airport to go to “South Carolina” for a few weeks and we need to know where he lives. Well let me tell you, it is a very large house 2 blocks from the beach it has 2 rentals, 1 1 bedroom and the other a bachelor which apparently are rented out until the fall, they have a pool and a one bedroom house to themselves. Wow. They are only asking 496,000.00 for the lot, we truly believe it is worth at least one million. We don’t want him to go because he is a great guitar player, his wife apparently doesn’t like the heat, go figure, this is one of the reasons why we are here!

There is some lightning to the south of us so I’m gonna go outside to see what is happening.

Create a great day!
