Sunday to Saturday Sept 12th to 18th, 2010

We went to a little restaurant called Pueblito Destiladeras in La Cruz Saturday night with our dinner group, what a wonderful restaurant! After we ordered our meal (260 pesos) we got a fish turnover for an appetizer and some fried bananas for dessert, this came with every meal, wow! Just as we were leaving Dick’s truck Ross realized he left his water at the restaurant, so we hopped in our new truck and drove back, it was still open so we got it and drove back home.

Samuel our air conditioner guy got our air going, when we walked in after supper it was soooooooooo cool! Francisco and his wife (and one son) got to our house about 2:30 and got our metal outside doors painted, it looks good! I am going to do a bit of touch up, I’m just picky on some things.

Monday Geno and his wife Alvia came to Bucerias today because they are flying to Washington Tuesday and they wanted to make sure they make their flight, you see they live in San Pancho where the bridge washed out and travel on our highways lately have been hit or miss! We went out with them for dinner to Meson Bay (Ross and I love this restaurant, right on the beach, good food, good ambience) and it was delightful, I had my usual, avocado with shrimp and everyone else had the all you can eat fish and shrimp special.

Tuesday…….Happy Birthday to my youngest granddaughter Melanie, she a whole 1 years old today! Hurray!

Juan was to get Ross to register our new truck, but he hasn’t shown up all week, oh well it will be mañana now! Francisco came by to finish all the little things that needed doing, we asked him if he wanted our old doors and he said sure, he didn’t have any…………………………I spoke with little Melanie on the speaker phone and when she heard my voice she grabbed the phone…………………she misses me………..right……………she has only seen me once a few months ago……………but it’s nice to fantasize!

Wednesday……….Happy Birthday Ashleigh…….21 years old today!!!

Happy Birthday Mexico………………200 years old today!!!

We woke up Ashleigh and sung Happy Birthday to you, she was going to the water park at West Ed and then to dinner with her boyfriend Tio, he surprised her with a night in Fantasy Land Hotel, he had a palm tree and everything, wow!

At 7pm we went over to Dick and Mary Carmen’s for a birthday party for Mexico, all the regulars were there along with Lorena! We hadn’t seen her since the wake, she is looking good. Mary Carmen had so much wonderful food for us and at 11pm we watched the President and family on TV what a proud country!

Yesterday Ross went to pick up Ralph from the airport and drove him home to Lo de Marcos. We were concerned about his house as he has been gone for so long, but the only problem they saw was that his travel trailer was damp on the inside too.
We were supposed to go to Mike and Mandy’s today for our weekly pool/volleyball party but they cancelled it……………again…………………how are we supposed to get our exercise if they keep cancelling????????????? We are going to the Red Apple with the dinner group tonight, we are taking Ralph with us since we had him drive all the way down here for the volleyball and they cancelled!

Well that is it for now, sorry about the wait, but it was worth it…………………right!!!!!!
