Our Lives

In the trailer everything has its place and it is best to put it back where it belongs once you have used it. It takes less than 30 minutes to clean the inside of the trailer....nice.

We are prepared for rain at any time.

We are stocking up on sunscreen and bug spray.

We are not letting the heat stop us from doing things (but man is it brutal at times).

We are finding out the best food and drink deals in town and meeting people while we are at it. We have surveyed 8 bars so far for the best margaritas; results forthcoming soon.

Mexican cell phone calls are expensive; .40 cents per minute and the one who initiates the call pays for the call.

We have spoken to friend and family via the computer and this works fantastic and is free, will be trying the webcam soon.

We have all the time in the world to do something, anything, or nothing.Shelly has learned to cook with what is available in the stores; it is mostly Mexican themed but she has come up with some interesting variations. Checking out the Costco, Home Depot, Walmart, and Sams Club in Hermosillo within the week. This mango came right off a tree in the yard.We expect the unexpected; this poor bat was just found one morning dead on the table.We launched the boat this week after many hours spent on it by PJ and it was a huge success. We hope to go out fishing within the week.

And PJ is fishing!

Please Help

We are beginning the clean up process and it will be long and difficult. But everyone (even those who lost everything and we mean EVERYTHING) are in good spirits. This is the bridge that we walk over every morning with Hunter. This is in the Ranchitos just a few blocks from where we live. We are part of a group who are spearheading getting relief aid to those areas hit the hardest. These areas had a wall of water over 10' high go through their communities resulting in several feet of mud being distributed into their modest homes. The loss of their mattresses, all furniture, clothing, linens, food, etc. In addition these areas do not have drinking water easily available. They are resorting to collecting water from the still flowing creeks that more than likely have dead animals in them contaminating the water....but what other options do they have? NONE. This is an old folks home where the residents had to climb a rickety ladder and spend the night on the roof to escape the rushing

Feels Like Summer

The day time temps have been in the 90s this week with the lows getting only into the 60s. It makes for a beautiful day to take out a friend's yacht and spot Finback whales. If this is a preview of temps this summer, we are in big (and we mean brutally hot but tons of fun) trouble.
