Sunday Sept 19th to Friday Sept 24th, 2010

What a great dinner last night at the Red Apple Restaurant. It is on the main beach drag in Bucerias upstairs so you have a great view of the ocean. I had stuffed chicken and Ross had the octopus, (yucky I don’t like octopus) and they were both delicious.

The dogs got me up way too early, guess what they are doing now……………..sleeping…………and I’m not, oh well, I am drinking some wonderful mint tea and of course, typing my blog. I am going to take some pictures of some of the new stuff we have, like doors, air conditioning and of course big blue (our new truck).

Sunday and Monday was a very lazy days…..we didn’t have our pool volleyball, Ross’s tummy was still very upset and we were just lazy…………

Tuesday we got our butts out of the house around 4 to drive to Walmart for a few odds and ends (another tarp for our roof as one of them has completely shredded) and while we were there we got a call from Christie asking us if we wanted to have some left over chili that she made while we are watching their pictures from their vacation in south Mexico. We picked up some buns and they came over at 7ish and we had a fabulous dinner of chili (yeah I know it’s 32 outside), buns, pickles and some cheddar cheese we had in the fridge, yummy! Christie is a great cook. The pictures are terrific, they took 3 of their kids with them; Spencer was still in Canada visiting relatives.

Wednesday morning we got up early for our bi weekly chili cook-off meeting. We have 15 contestants now, they are going to sell tickets to taste and we will have prizes, it’s exciting and will be at the end of November We are going to sell raffle tickets (Ross and Larry had gone out for these, one is swim with the dolphins at Vallarta Adventures) and the money will be split 3 ways, one of the lucky ones is the cat lady that I got Yoda from, I’m stoked!!!

I got up early this morning to join the ladies at Rita’s house to make crafts for their Christmas bazaar………………….. actually it will be mine too. I just got a phone call this afternoon from the vice president of Beta Sigma Phi, Karen (this is what the ladies belong to) asking if I would like to join. This organization is an international organization for women to let friendships develop and deepen while learning through chapter programs or philanthropy done throughout the communities. (I got that from the website) Look at their website http://www.betasigmaphi.org/. I am really excited; they are having a potluck on the 28th of October to welcome me and other women who want to join. I have to call Sue (she is a member) to find out when and where the membership meetings are as Karen asked me to call her so I can go with her to the meetings.

Philos was great, small crowd but they sounded terrific, saw a couple that just got back from 3 months in Oregon, it’s nice to see faces that you miss again.

Well that is it for now, I have put in some pictures (cross your fingers) of our new screen doors, our new truck and our air conditioner.

Ross Kim and Critters in Paradise!
