Haciendo compras in pictures

I really forgot how much I love Teacapan. I’m not sure exactly what it is, but Jamie is also starting to come around; humidity and all. There is no negotiating in this town. If the lady de-heading shrimp says camarones are sesenta (sixty) pesos/kilo and you try to get them for cinquenta (fifty), you . . . → Read More: Haciendo compras in pictures

Teacapán, Sinaloa

We finally extricated ourselves from Mazatlán. We moved an enormous SIXTY NINE kilometers away! (truthfully, I don’t have any idea how far we went; I’m just delighted that we packed up and moved) We loved this spot last year with Mom and Dad (too lazy to provide a link, but eventually I will) . . . → Read More: Teacapán, Sinaloa

It just might come full circle, but don’t count on it

We’re getting ready to leave Maz. The boys, Ellen and I have been here for 2.5 months and I’m more than ready to leave. I have an heat rash which is getting worse each day (well, I hope it is a heat rash and not hives, but they do itch…) and Jamie is . . . → Read More: It just might come full circle, but don’t count on it

I have been loathe to update. It has been hard, adding another member to the family and I don’t . . . → Read More: 939

Back together again

I think I’m just going to recount the whole sordid tale as I really don’t know where to start. Don’t worry; it all turns out good in the end. For those looking for the short story; they got here, we’re happy and busy and fine. But there are some in my family (who . . . → Read More: Back together again

Anticipation…

Today is the feast day of the Virgin of Guadalupe in Laval, a rancho close by. Not sure about the rest of the country, but we’ve gotten to know many of the kids and a few of the parents that live there and had planned to go for the day. Fortunately (and not), . . . → Read More: Anticipation…

They’re in Magdalena

Jamie Michael and Sissy have made it to Magdelena and think they’ll only go as far as San Carlos tomorrow.  Good choice; here in Mazatlan at 8:51 it is 87 degrees; in San Carlos it is 64.

I’m dead on my feet so that is all.  We spent most of the day at the . . . → Read More: They’re in Magdalena

Partay on in the cemetary

Ok, is renacemiento the equivalent of cemetary? Because it looks like “rebirth”. Today is Mother’s Day in Mexico and the partay is at the cemetary. We passed by two of them on the (very long) way home from the dentist office. It seems to be a total holiday; everything is closed and kids . . . → Read More: Partay on in the cemetary

Giddy with anticipation

Well, they are On The Road! Jamie and his gang of theives left the Bay Area yesterday and spent the night in Mojave. Westy is reportedly getting 20mph which is amazing mileage considering the load. They have all kinds of stuff on top and loaded inside. CompUSA STILL, a month after receiving my laptop, . . . → Read More: Giddy with anticipation

La vida loca

You know you’re living La Vida Loca when you tell your kids, “I don’t want you guys running around the waiting room because if you slip and hit your head, knock yourself out and fall in the pool I won’t be there to save you”. This said from the dentist chair. There is . . . → Read More: La vida loca
