Puerto Penasco

Our group from 55th Drive...

The only ones on the whole bus who danced slow n easy...waltzed...polka-ed...chicken dance...congo line...electric slide...macarena...we did it!

Within two minutes of checking into our rooms, drinks were mixed and we were around the pool overlooking the bay, the sandy beach and the Malecon of Puerto Penasco.

We shopped, this is the main street of the Malecon (restaurants and shrimp on one side shopping on the other)...we ate (four meals the first day)...we walked the beach...we lazed...

AND

we drank

This is a Miami Vice...strawberry daiquiri on the bottom, pina colada on top...the girls of Spring Break from ASU taught us about this one...the boys of Spring Break from UofA offered us their beer bong.

OUR NEW TOY!

a 2007 Polaris 800...used a little

and, yes, we did ride it around the area and through the big wash dressed just like this...and no tools...just a couple little bottles of water...

And in a few days we'll be acting out a scene from 'Dumb and Dumber' as we try to load it into our pickup. Yes, we got ramps, but the problem is...big toolbox in back that takes up the room we need for the quad. Everyone is offering their ideas...we'll see what works...hee-hee.

Cactus R Bloomin'

Saw it on our bicyle ride yesterday...ain't it boo-ti-ful?!

Mesa

Spent the last few days in Mesa visiting Di. It was another great time! It's working so much better staying closeby, and during her days off. We walked, shopped for a 'mother of the bride' dress, played games and talked our fool heads off. Fun...fun...fun... Didn't buy a dress...but took these great pics...lol...DRESS SHOPPING, eh, not a priority, yet...

Our greatest thrill was attending the Seattle Mariner's Spring Training game!!! Super Seats just a few rows off the third base line. We had such fun...ate hot dogs...drank beer...learned how to howl "Rauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullllll", when he came up to bat...Di bought a Mariner visor, I bought a t-shirt...We're ready for another game next winter...GO MARINERS!

A "New Yorker" (how do you type that with their funny accent?) sat in seat number 1 next to us. He told us (as he pointed to his Yankee ballcap) he was numero uno. GADS, they are so high and mighty. But I was good; I didn't tell him what I thought of his Yankees; although I did mention something about the Brooklyn Dodgers. And I didn't make fun of how he said Ichiro...boy, did he massacur his name. And Ichiro was the only reason the New Yorker was at the game.

Ichiro? Well, he was at, well not quite "at", his finest. He hit the ball every time he was at bat, but he never made first base. I dunno...I guess I need to watch more games, he just never seems to do much except swing at everything that comes by, so he gets hits. But, dang, he doesn't seem to get on base much. Of course, his RBI record is really good.

Great mid-week fun!

Ramblings...

Quiet day today...the wind is really blowing. We had to put up all our awnings, lay down all the lawn chairs and put the plants in a protected place, because they kept being blown over. Within a block or two we can see the sand blowing. It's pretty strong, especially the gusts...

It's been really warm, up to 89 degrees the other day. I put up my new awning lights (seashells); they are beautiful. And since the big awning was up, I had to hang some of the windsocks. The windsocks are hung on the awning arms to remind us to DUCK!

The geraniums I trimmed back and brought from home are blooming now...

Peggy and Bill had biscuits and gravy for a bunch of their Eugene neighbors and we were included. Boy, they were really good! Norman, who doesn't usually eat biscuits and gravy, had two helpings. I bought a whole pineapple and took it after peeling and slicing it, of course. It was so very sweet...yum.

Our rent was up on the first, so since we'll only be here a couple more weeks, we've moved back across the street to Boo n Ethel's place. And we have new neighbors here...

Don't you just love 'em

Just so's ya know...we do the mundane things too...read the Sunday paper, did my toenails, got mail ready to go to the g'kids, did the dishes and the laundry, took a nap...
