Summer Time and the living is easy—–and HOT. Having a good week. I have family visiting, and of course, we are doing all the local stuff, i.e. Mexico shopping, eating lots of seafood, swimming, beaching, and catching up on the prior year’s events.

Home Sweet Home, but not for long! Arrived home late Saturday, and have been running ever since. Sunday and Monday were primarily spent unpacking and looking at my poor yard. Landscaping doesn’t do well when you are gone for two months, even when someone is cutting the grass.

We also have “red tide,” which is common on the Gulf of Mexico when conditions are just right to cause microscopic algae to bloom in the water, turning it a red or brown hue.
