back to reality...

Well we made it back - sad to leave but glad to be home & pick up puppy from his babysitters. We had them over tonight (Terry, Jeremy & Tanya and their kids) and got to hear all the fun stories of Fletcher's adventures terrorizing cats, other dogs (he discovered female dogs while we were away, but apparently hasn't quite figured out which end is up... ask for the story at easter), jumping in the half frozen pool and keeping Terry awake at night. We gave them each a bottle of tequila in the hopes it will dim their memories of the week so that they might consent to take him again at some point!

We hope Grandpa & Grandma Marie are enjoying their last evening in paradise...have a margarita for us, a safe flight back & we look forward to seeing everyone next weekend at Easter :)

Doug&Min

Hi you all
well Doug and Min are on their way home and we just returned from Myakoba golf resort were roger and I played golf sort of and then we had a fabulous lunch on the beach.
We had a great week with Doug and Min and I am sure they will post some pictures etc when they get home.
The computers are very slow here and that is why we have not been communicating very well.
Looking foward to seeing everybody at easter and to some spring weather when we get home.
Albeit it will very tough to beat the weather we have had here.
It has been mostly sunny well always sunny close to 80 degrees and always a delightful wind to keep you feeling quite comfortable.
Love always Grandpa and Grandma Marie xxooxoo

a peek at paradise, gringo dave style

So today Doug & I spent the day with Gringo Dave, whom you all may remember as the wobbly rodney dangerfield impersonator that runs the local juke joint at the end of the marina. He took us for a drive to his 'weekend getaway' at the south end of the state to show us his new venture and boy were we blown away... and that's not even sarcasm there. It was the most incredibly gorgeous lake - all the bright shades of aquamarine, tourquoise and seafoam green that should be punishable offenses in prom/bridesmaid dresses are surprisingly breathtaking in real life waterscape. It was like the colours of Tulum water on steroids. We'll have to tell you all about the rest of that adventure (..and yes of course we have pictures!) including the arabian house & the swift current noodle drift when we return in just a couple of days.

Sandra & Marie made an eventful trip to WalMart and the new Playa del Carmen grocery store, where it took them 45 minutes and security clearance to buy a bottle of wine & 6 diet cokes. Again, a story that needs to be told with pantomime for full effect so make sure you ask for that story at Easter.

It finally rained tonight. I think we counted 15 drops.

do you think the next family will notice me hanging around through their month if I'm really quiet?

day at the beach

Hi everyone
We spent today at "OUR BEACH". Waves, two for one cervasa, sun, wind......................Doug has a very red forehead and I a very red face. Heeeee Watched a kite boarder who was amazing--up for about two hours. His wife waited on the beach (topless) and the boys ran the batteries low on the camera. Let you guess whose picture they were taking.
Tonight we are cooking the wahoo that larry caught yesterday .
Memories of all of you at every turn. Can't wait until next march. xomac and ldc

Mexican Groundhog day

There really is not much to tell. Everything is suspiciously consistant! Each day begins with the rising of the sun. We then partake in some absorption of said sun. Finally we end our day strapping on the feedbags as the sun sets. We say our goodbyes (to the sun), pretend we have the energy to go out on the "town" and then say our good nights at 9pm. When we awake, we repeat and the sun does its role!

Get me out of here!

Yes, it is about time someone added to the blog. Of course, I really don't have time to add too much. It is 8 am and nearly 80 degrees! So sitting inside infront of the computer is just wrong.
Minda and I had the best Tacos ever yesterday. We found a little VW van that was converted into a Taco stand. Pictures to follow. Gotta go the boat is setting sail.

Thursday in Mexico

Today was quite hot and Roger and I played golf well Roger played gold my game was more like tennis. Doug and Minda went off to Playa del Carmen and we went downtown Puerto Aventuras . Marie and Sandra bought some clothes and stuff , Roger and I watched the PGA on a big screen at the sports bar.
We are soon going to have dinner I hope and I think Doug and Minda have been talked into cooking it , they are swimming at the moment.
Hope you are all having fun in the spring weather up there , and look forward to Easter and July in New York in the meantime we are loving it in Mexico. Hey Mitch are you really coming down for the weekend.

Milk...

My lack of milk is nothing compared to the lack of protein in your diet. I think is time that the medical practitioners in the family sat you down for a chat! Oh ya...nice kitty bag, Mac!

doug is weird!

Doug is a weird man, he doesn't have milk in his fridge literary what kind of person doesn't have milk is their fridge?:(

5 kids, 2 teens, 5 adults, and 2 dogs!!

On march 17 Sam and Mac babysat the young ones (Mia, Zach, Carson, Julia, and Brooklyn), while all of the adults went out to celebrate St. Patrick's day. The two babysitters set off on a long hard journey to a world full of chaos and fun. During this time period the children got tired every minute, and finally sat down to watch a movie. We couldn't decide what movie(curious George or little foot) so we played a game to decide on which one. But that still did not satisfy the kids, we had half of the kids wanting to watch the one movie and the other half wanting to watch thy other. So then one movie was to be watched in the living room and thy other in the work out room downstairs. Me(Sam) and Mac finally got the kids to bed, some very quiet and some not so quiet. After our long hard day me and Mac sat down to watch our own movie. A wonderful movie called THUNDER BIRDS.

-SAM!!! AND MAC!!!

So it begins
