Thursday, Friday & Saturday February 4th, 5th & 6th, 2010

Hola everyone, hurray, the sun is shining and the birds are singing, all is well in Paradise! Ed is here to look at the car, Telmex called to, I think, let me know they were on their way with my new modem and to ask the cross streets (that’s how people find addresses), but they were speaking in Spanish and could not understand English. They haven’t arrived as of yet though and they called a good 2 hours ago. My new modem came, DHL today, so hopefully Telmex will come soon to install it. I was going to but since everything is in Spanish I didn’t want to screw things up.

Ross and Steve York went to Nellys last night; Steve is an excellent bass player that is sitting in for Ralph as he had to go to Sacramento for a couple of days. They had a grand time; I stayed home to nurse another headache! What is going on here???

Yesterday (Friday) Shelly came over to clean my house, I love Lily but she is so busy I am trying out the wife of a friend of ours. I finally got our VHS/CD player working, hurray! This actually takes all our home movies we have on VHS tapes and dub them onto DVD’s. Now if you know Ross, he video tapes everything! OK, he has been much better since we moved down here, we probably have 50 +- tapes that now I can slowly throw away as I dub them and keep all the DVD’s. After Ross’s meeting we drove to Centro Bucerias to have supper at The Twisted Rose and to ask them if we can use their space for our movie nights we want to start to raise funds for the special needs portion of Amigos de Bucerias. The food was great but no one seemed to know where Simon or Hugh were (they are the owners). Supper was great, we had chicken over pasta with alfredo sauce with a lettuce salad.

We had to get up early this morning as we have our monthly Amigos de Bucerias breakfast meeting at Ixta (a restaurant that allows us to meet and serves breakfast). Ross called Simon at the Twisted Rose before breakfast and asked him if we could use his space and he said “no problem”! This is why I love this little town so much; everyone seems to want to help. Ross stepped up to let everyone know that we have a projector and enough movies to satisfy almost everyone, Christie and I are going to pick out the movies! It was suggested by John that Ross should not pick them out as all we would be watching would be Discovery stuff, which is good, but we will need some variety. We are hoping to find a big popcorn machine so we can sell popcorn before the movie.

Ross is having a snooze as we have to leave here around 3ish to drive to Lo de Marcos for the fundraising event for the Amigos de Lo de Marcos. We were there a couple of weeks ago; we play in the town square and had a great time! I’m going to bring a chair this time as a blanket on the grass is not great for my back. We are hoping not to have too a long night as Ross is playing at Ana Banana’s in La Cruz on Sunday afternoon for the Super Bowl party.

Well I guess that’s all I have for now. Everyone have a great weekend!
