I never thought of mango margaritas; I usually dump some Reposado in a sippy cup (nothing like staring at Dora the Explorer whilst getting drunk :)) and squeeze some limon juice in and wala. Instant nirvana. I wonder what I could do with mangoes and tequila... Thank you Vicki; Mexico is heaven in winter. there is so much to fall in love with down here. Thank you DeeDee. I LOVE the little yellow ones; once they get almost orange, they are absolutely superb! Breakfast is incredible down here; from the myriad of tropical fruit to yogurt that has no comparison in the US (it is hands down, The Creamiest Yogurt in North America) to the organic Chiapas coffee, and pan dulce...I could go on and on and on. :) Jamie is finally so very much better. Wow, Chrissy, that means a lot coming from you. You have an incredible photographers eye. I sent you a gmail invite and you can sign up with gmail and use that email addy for Flickr. I'd LOVE for you to have a Flickr account so I can see all YOUR incredible pictures. Dad, I've got to find a way to get these to you. We completely missed mango season somehow; we must have been in the highlands when it hit. Getting mangoes right off the tree is an experience not to be missed. Though, you might have already had it in the Phillipines. WG: You know, I think you're right. No snow (well, except for Chichuaua oh, forget it) but mangoes to go insane with! Jody, you're right; we'll probably be crossing in the same point as last year; Del Rio. Do I hear rumblings of a rally? :) And thank you so much for your very kind words. Gord: Wow.

Yeah, you are back! And yes, you do inspire us....to believe that, all you have to do is look out into our driveway. A driveway that we once could park in, but now is inhabited by 34 feet of pure, Ameri-camp 5er in all its big-ass glory. Now I am hungry for mangos. Oh, and would that Tejas to the north mean a Lone Star border crossing? Oh! Yeah, you are back!

Mango mattering matters! do go on! I have recently discovered that I too am mad for Ataulfo's! Nothing comes close! I think we in Mexico have as many different kinds of mangoes as supposedly Eskimos have names for snow (sort of a mixed comparison but you get the idea). It's snowing mangoes lately...Baby, it's gold outside! Ha! But I digress... glad you're back...we missed you! Yay! Mango mattering matters! do go on!

And for the gift of another day to enjoy them. AND, on the topic of my favorite fruit: MANGOES!!!! Who could ask for more? love, dad PS> Who could ask for more? I don't get those who feel life is a vale of tears (or some such). Even before my cancer I came to appreciate what an absolute miracle each day is. (I guess I better stop before I try to create my own blog here... :) Of course, we’re glad you’re back blogging! And for the gift of another day to enjoy them.

That was a close call. I've just looked at the photos you've posted and I am SO impressed with your photography skills - amazing composition and depth of field selection. I almost registered with Fliker so I could comment on specific shots, but I hate giving out my email so I didn't register. But I wanted to send a big WOW your way for the pics. Keep it up. And pls keep up the postings - mangos, whatever. We're just glad to hear your voice again. Love, C THANKS for posting again. That was a close call.

My life was getting boring without your family. Mangos are one of my favorite fruit, so no, mango mannering is NOT boring. Do you like the little yellow ones or the bigger greener ones? Our favorites are the little yellow ones. I do not know the difference in name. Yeah, you do get spoiled with all the fresh fruit and bread. Hay, sounds like you got breakfast...mangos with yogurt and Bread. Got coffee and there is breakfast!! Hope Jamie gets better soon. So glad to see you posting again.

Such great redeaming qualities, no matter which one is used. Nothing could be finer......Thanks for the insight on the types. Up here in semi perpetual winter...ok, we get a couple of crummy sledding months each summer, we enjoy whatever mangos that show up at "Super Store". Glad to see you bogging again. Your rambling is entertaining and folksy and easy to relate to. Hopefully it gives you an opportunity for a little sanity check. There is nothing worse than a guy when he is sick. I have no idea how my wife puts up with me when any sort of ailment, ache or paine inflicts my body. She, of course, like all good mothers and wives endures anything short of an amputation or chid birth with nary a whimper. Hopefully, the world that reads your blogs is there for you. Sort of like Frazier Crane " go ahead Seattle, I'm listening", sort of the same only different. Gord Think….mango Margaritas! Such great redeaming qualities, no matter which one is used.
