Pablo & B

Now normally the only people you will see wearing anything more than a tank top, shorts or skirt is a local. I’ve seen the locals in fur-lined winter coats and knee-high boots and I’m thinkin’, Ya gotta be kiddin’ me!  But they seem comfortable enough and aren’t sweating as I am in the habit of doing since I have moved here.

However, last night I actually wore pants and a hoodie with my tank top underneath! And this is in spite of my impending pre-menopausal onslaught of my own personal internal tropical heat waves.

My husband says I’m turning Mexican on him. He’s back in the -8 C snow flurries in Calgary right now. I heard there were 400 fender benders yesterday caused by the first heavy snowfall of the season. Wow! And I thought the drivers here were bad. Oh wait… they are. Maybe we have more in common than I realize.                                                                    

But today he wore his shorts...girly man. :)

Paul may wear the pants in Calgary, but I’m wearing them here baby!

Ya’ll go and have yourself a great day! Pre-menopausal or not!

Still summer here in Playa. Well actually according to local standards it is winter, but according to Canadians I just spoke with yesterday, it is summer. They looked at me like I was a little crazy. I am Canadian after all. You’d think they might have taken this into account.

Palapa Floor Poured

The snowbirds are returning slowly and the Canadian & American license plates are increasing. I love seeing those Alberty plates. Makes me feel at home. My Dad returning has also upped the anny. We got to check out the Hospiten first hand for 2 nights. Looks like a hotel room more than a hospital room with service to match. Even the food was pretty tasty as I helped him out with his chicken breast. He didn’t even have to pay a cent out of his pocket as his insurance paid the hospital direct.

Evidently, it is up to the insurance company if they will pay the hospital direct or not. We were lucky and my Dad is better and back to playing his guitar and singing out in ‘ol Paamul. The construction on his palapa continues…another day in paradise. Oh and we saved 3 more kitties from the streets. Found loving homes for all of them. One little girl needed surgery for a fractured hip and we had her spayed at the same time. Figure we just saved the streets about 100 more baby kittens.

We’re saving Playa one cat at a time…I love my job! Go get yourself a great day!!
