Entertaining Family
July 14, 2010 By 1 Comment
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.
We went to Nuevo Progresso yesterday, and shopped ‘til we dropped, but had plenty of guacamole and margaritas to sustain us. Today, it was a ride on the beach, and shopping on the island, along with swimming, and just hanging out.
Next week, I’ll get back to working on book 3. It has all come together now, and before long I’ll share a little with you. In the meantime, enjoy your summer, and stay cool!

Ahhh! Spring Break
Ahhh. Spring break on South Padre Island. Not a bad place to be, even if you aren’t 18 or 20 years old. So, today we cranked up the hot tub and enjoyed the sun and warm weather right here in the backyard so we could just think we are “breakers.” It is nice to be home for awhile. I know I said I would write more about Dubai as well as my visit to Oman, but that has to wait until next week. Spring Break calls right now. [Read more...]
