Tuesday September 15, 2009

Happy Birthday to Ashleigh!!!!! She is twenty today! Hurray, no more teenager. Tara, Ashleigh and Grandma went to the Keg for a birthday dinner.

We are getting ready for Lynn’s arrival tomorrow; I stripped the bed in Betsy and am washing the sheets. We still had bits and pieces in Betsy from coming down here so I think we have her cleaned out now.

We were invited to 2 parties today. We got to Oscar’s at about 3, he is the sax/guitar player in Philo’s band and boy does he have a nice house. (Ross took pictures so if I remember I will send them with the blog). He is a block or so off the beach and has an infinity pool on the 3rd level of the property! We met a lot of new people there, some Spanish, some English, speaking both languages, we have to learn Spanish. The kids were playing magnet darts, playing in the pool and were having a great time, Maya, Oscar’s 2 year old daughter asked me why I had a bandage on my knee, of course in Spanish, Oscar asked me if I knew what she said, I shook my head no and he told me she wanted it to get better. She is soooooooooooo cute.

We got home around 5ish and took off to Ron’s house in Nuevo 6ish. He lives in a 3 bedroom condo close to the beach, which is absolutely gorgeous, looks brand new so it probably is! He is on the ground level and when you go out his doors, past the patio table there is a huge pool. He had his 1st birthday of not drinking and he threw himself a surprise party for about 30 of his closest friends. What a great guy and we met some super people. I met this one lady, Karen, she is probably 60ish and they live at the marina in Vallarta after living 5 years on their 42’ sailboat. Another Lady, Kim, she and her husband work for American airlines and they live at the marina on their 42’ catamaran, must be nice! Maury said he will take us sailing this weekend, I hope it comes true.

We got home around 9:30, got our jammies on and went upstairs on our palapa and watched the lightning. I brought my computer up and started my blog up there. My sister Joan called and we had a nice conversation catching up on things. Shadow came upstairs with us and jumped from roof to roof to top of RV to shed to walking along our wall, to walking on our roof, our neighbors’ roof and their wall. He is having a blast. He is our adventurous cat; the other two are good on the ground. I don’t know how Shadow got upstairs (we caught him up on the wall a few weeks ago before the stairs, I tried to get him to go up the stairs yesterday and he didn’t want to. I hear that cats don’t like climbing anything that they can see through). But when we came down I called to him and he gingerly walked down the stairs with me. I’m hoping Tigger and Sunshine come up too, it’s fun being all together. Gracie may come up, I know for sure that Bandit won’t, his legs are too sore for him to climb a long way.

Well, I have two loads of laundry done now so I think now it’s time to hit the bed; we will have a very long day tomorrow with Lynn here. Lily is coming in the morning, then Ross will pick up Lynn from the airport at 3:30 and we will stay up late catching up.

Everyone have a great day tomorrow and we’ll talk to you soon! (Only of course you call us at 780-669-7539!)
Ross and Kim in Paradise!
