Thats right, summer is almost gone. We hardly even had a summer this year. Gregg and I did make it to Jericho beach once. The weather has been very different this year. Seems that each year it gets worse. Soon we wont even have a summer. It will just be winter and spring. Just another reason to move to Mexico.

So this friday will be 2 months since dad is gone. Time sure flys. Mom got the keys to her new condo this weekend. Now she is starting on all the reno’s. New flooring and paint. New appliancies in the kitchen. So many little things to get done before she can move in. It will keep her busy.

Gregg and I will be staying home and saving our pennies so that we can return to Mexico again in the near future. I was hoping to go back next year, but it looks like it wont happen. We have to come up with 3000 bucks for our share of a new roof for the condo building. So no more going out for dinners. We have to cut back on everything. Maybe we will make it to Mexico in 2010.

I have some projects I plan to finish this year. I want to get all my scrapbooking done. Get some pictures enlarged for the living room walls. Take out my sewing machine and head to mom’s so she can teach me how to sew since I totally forgot how. Get all our Mexico pictures edited and get the videos off the tapes and on to my pc and burn them to discs. I know there are a few other things I need to do too.

I also want to get back into my yoga and start walking more.

Mexico Pics

I’m sure that there are a few people waiting to see all the pictures we took on our Mexican vacation. I feel bad that I haven’t done this yet, but I have been waiting for Gregg to edit them all. That could take another few months.  There are some already on our Flickr site. I’m hoping that I will be able to post some kind of trip reports in the next few weeks with pictures. Be patient, it will get done.

Peanut Pet Shelter

When we were in Mexico we had met some really great people. There were so many of them. Today I want to talk about two people that I think are fantastic. Andy and Jen run the animal shelter in Playa del Carmen,Mexico. We had met them at the big Halloween party and arrange to go to the shelter and have a look and take some pictures. Well we didn’t know what to expect. Andy picked us up in his truck and I must say it was big compared to all the smaller vehicles in the town. I guess a full size pick-up truck does stick out a bit. We got to the shelter if you can call it that. It’s actually their home. All fenced in and dogs of all sizes and ages running around having a great time. We were greeted by a herd of puppies! I could see that they had their hands full. We sat and talked for a while and enjoyed watching the dogs play and chase each other till they were worn out and flopped down anywhere they felt was a comfy spot, which seemed to be a rubber mat that they all wanted to be on at the same time.

After a while another couple showed up. We sat and talked some more. We fell in love with every single dog, but if we could of, we would of taken Sophie home with us. Oh heck! We wanted them all! Even smelly George! We finally were ready to head back into town. Yes we smelled like George, but that was fine. I understand that Andy and Jen are working from donations and no real help from any government office as of yet. I think there is something in the works. So any help that can be given to them would help a lot.

Here is the link to the website they have…..clicky Please take a look and click on the ads so that they can make some money and if you feel that you can donate a few bucks please do! They really need all the help they can get.

They also need dog supplies like collars and leashes even toys. If you are planning on heading down there for a holiday please bring things with and let them know you want to donate. I know they would be very grateful.
