Every nights a party ....

I am having trouble signing in to my blog, but I'm here now, somehow.

What a treat to have people you love come and visit.  So fun to see peoples reactions to all 

the birds and bees and butterflies.  Not to mention sleeping on a swinging bed, next to the

ocean.  It's particularly nice when it isn't their first trip and they know their way around 

town a little, how to get to the beach, and the town waterfall, and the stores.  It takes a while

but the looking is half the fun.  It's also important to know how to live in this environment,

and treat it with gentle care.  As in Septic System, for example.  My guests had to endure

some major inconvenience with that one, but came out smelling like roses !!

First job in the New Year is replace the 30 year old Septic System here.  Much of the

problem comes from roots and sand, but it's past due. What a good way to start 2013 !

I'm relieved my guests left when they did, only because I had assured them we have very

few snakes here, but upon coming home the night they left, there was a snake.

I didn't see it until it was too late and I crushed it's head when closing the door.  It was an

accident.  When I went to the kitchen to turn on the light to access the damage a large

toad jumped over my feet, and I screamed.  I try not to scream anymore, but this was all

happening in the dark, and Lily the cat was not helping matters .... you have to go with the 

flow and let it roll off your back around here, or you'd be a nervous wreck !!


Debbie got married on Wednesday.  What a fantastic time we all had.  To bed at 3:30, and

i was not the last one standing.  There were most of the population of two villages in

attendance, there must have been at least 100 coconuts sliced opened and consumed ...

either pure or mix your own Pina Coladas etc.  Someday I will know all about posting photos

on this machine ! 


A very busy week, gearing up for Christmas, ( though it's hard to get the feeling with the

palm trees swinging in the breeze )  The ocean is still rough and many visitors are getting a

wet welcome.  We can only hope it will calm down soon, and the sun will shine for those

looking to work on their tan over the holiday.

For me, I must get back to scrubbing the grime off the rock wall in the living room.  It's

only 2.5 ft. high, but the salt collects and turns brown in some places....not good.
  
Not a big job, and i only do it once a year, so no complaints from me.   I'll have a cold Corona

to celebrate another job well done in my Palapa in Yelapa ...

much muchness to us ALL !!  
especially Nicole & Donna who have birthdays today ....and make the world a better place !
