Jingle Bells

Another Christmas in Mexico.

I do my small part with decorations, and smaller part with gifts and cards.

Pamela Arthur's Annual Boxing Day Party has top billing on my Christmas List.  Not sure which year this is, but at least 20, probably more.  I've been participating for 12 or 13 years, and she was going strong before I arrived. 

Tea and sandwichs at 4 , with sweets of cource, and Tequila
at 6 pm.  I try to be the first one there and the last one to leave, and it usually works out that way. 
I love to help her out and appear much like a Pam Arthur Groupie!, but I am of sorts !  

It's easy to see, that not that very long ago, she could pull of a grand soiree as such, backwards, in high heels, with one arm in a sling !  and maybe she has, but time passes, and she welcomes the help of her many many friends.

People from around the World celebrate Boxing Day, often for the 1st time at Casa Blanca, with Pam, Jimmi, and
the Whippets ! 

They were robbed 2 weeks ago, of large amount of cash.
It just makes us all sick to watch this destructive behavior here in Yelapa, but why do we think we are so different anymore ?  Violation, theft, runs rampant across the globe.

More people have been robbed since then, and we can only hope there will be severe intervention from top Police Officials, but we've been there before.

Yelapa unique in the terrain, bad boys at an advantage running through paths in the Jungle no match for city cops and their uniforms ! There are so many places to hide, and likely many accomplices. 
It's a huge problem that may threaten to ruin the Season for everyone !

This past weekend was Luckey Gillett's memorial.  Long time Yelapa Resident.  Got his name in Vietnam, and I've heard the whole story. Very Luckey indeed.  Died of a heart attack at 77 years, in Northern California. 
He reminded me a lot of my Dad , old school Gentleman, 
with a red bandanda and cut off jeans !!

It's been a somber few weeks.

I'm a week late with this Post.  I'm trying to finish up a few
other projects, and still fit in housework, and shopping and naps !  

More updates to follow.  Any comments or suggestions are always welcome ....

Most Happiest of Holidays ....
