Whirlwind Week

After finally making it home from Belize after two months, it would have been nice to sit back and slowly get back into the faster pace of southern California. But one of the main reasons I returned at this time was to go to my niece's high school graduation....in Las Vegas. Josette had invited us to attend her graduation and we happened to have enough comps to get the rooms free, so what the heck, lets go. I had already had enough of airports and flying, so we drove to Vegas in about 5 hours.

Plus, Josette wanted to show off her new ride.

I wish I had a car like that when I was seventeen.

So, after two months in Mexico and Belize, and a week in Vegas, I am finally home to relax for a few days and finally get caught up on the blog. John has sent new pictures of the work site, so I will begin to post them and the last few pictures I took before I left Belize.

But on Monday, it's back to work! Finishing the remodel of the master bathroom and deciding if we want to go ahead and spend the money for a kitchen remodel. The clock is ticking.

Another Beautiful Sunday

It's another quiet Sunday, here in Consejo. The air is still and warm, a perfect day to go down to the water, pull up a chair and do a little reading.







Donna and Jeanne are getting ready to leave this week and I am scheduled to leave next week. The time has flown by, but at the same time I feel as though I've slowed down. City life will be interesting but there are a few things at home that I miss while I'm here. A juicy In-and-Out burger, an Italian cold cut sandwich and a good selection of beer. Not much, but it's something you will never get down here.



When I get back, I will spend a couple of days at home and then it is off to Las Vegas for our niece's high school graduation. I will be going from a place with few extras to a place where excess is the norm. What a change that will be. Did someone say "room service". We'll spend a couple of days at the Flamingo and a couple of days at Caesar's Palace. We have tickets to see Bette Midler and I heard she puts on a good show, so I am looking forward to that.



Also when I get back, I will need to learn to live with just one car between Mischelle and I. It's never really been a problem, because most of the time we are together. But there are times when you need a second car. Now that the Toyota is a Belizian truck, we will have to figure things out. We will need another SUV or van when we bring the dogs to Belize, so maybe we'll just get one a little earlier.
