I have been upgraded on the computer (My Tom's Hand* Me* Downs) but that hasn't created any more hours in a day for me to post and create art or play in the gardens

Gringas with attitude and a pair of Cheap Sunglasses

Tom was able bodied enough to join the dancers...
Las Animas

where a wave surprised me. I got hammered against the rocks and twisted the left foot leaving me too timid for more swimming that afternoon and definetly no Karaoke on the return trip. Though admittedly I doubled up on the tequila drinks to numb the pain and jealous pangs!

A few afternoons later and several steep stairways to the top of the hill to

discover I had lost important hardware for my paintbox!#?!!*!

Made the best of it as it was 78 degrees in paradise and

absolutely NO SHOVELING!

Always good to get away for a bit- to thaw the fingers and toes.

Also glad we have had three sunny days since getting home!
