Happy birthday Jessie!

Today started very early, 7:30 am; we woke up almost before the sun, not quite! Last night I had the best sleep I have had for a very long time, I think I woke up once for about 10 seconds! If I do this tonight and get to sleep in, I will be dangerous!
I think we have had more visitors at the office today than we have had since we started going. The day was perfect, sunny, but not too hot, and it was NOT raining! That in itself is a good thing, at least lately. Lots of foot traffic with John and Christy stopping by, twice, Larry, Bruce, Sue and lots of Canadians, we actually got a lead, at least I think so, maybe 3.

After the office we went to the Twisted Rose and met with Hugh (the owner of the restaurant, Karen (a member of Amigos), and Fred (a audio visual guy) to finalize our movie night we are going to put on for the special needs area of Amigos de Bucerias. We want to put on a movie night at the restaurant every second Monday with popcorn and everything. We will suggest a donation of, let’s say 30 pesos and maybe 10 pesos for some popcorn. We had bought a projector for our own use which we thought would work for this but we found out the one we have is mainly for presentations which last max 2 hours, after that we will burn out the bulb as it will get too hot. We are going to see if a restaurant that had to close down would either lend or let us rent their equipment for a reasonable amount. We are so excited about this, it will hopefully bring the community together to have some fun!!!

After our meeting we drove over to Sue and Harold’s to get the owners of Korsario’s phone number (the restaurant that closed down) so we can ask them, they will email it to us. We then drove home cause handyman was going to be there to finish our outside painting (pictures tomorrow) and started to scrape off the flaking paint off our ceiling in our kitchen to repaint it, again!!! Hopefully since we have cement on our roof now this will be the last time, he will have to do a few more rooms too I’m afraid. Christie and John stopped by with a program for me to print off cards, thanks John, then, we all went to Taco Ixtal (sp?) for supper. We met Kenzie and Shay (already there) also and had a great meal, I tried the hambergesa (sp?) which was not very Mexican but was very, very, very, good! We have made arrangements to meet up with them for a wing night very soon.

Ross is watching the Nabors Drilling show on Discovery channel and I am trying to get my blog done before we call it a night. We stopped at Dick and Mary Carmen’s house before coming home as she wants to try the tide sticks we have been raving about. Dick looks really good and we are so glad he is feeling better now.
Well, I think it is Adios from Paradise, hope everyone has a great week!
