Here is my new friend Alene. She's with Bob, one of Ron's fishing partners, and she and I have the BEST time making fun of our men.This photo was taken at our Club Deportivo (the Fishing Derby Awards and Talent Show) and the guys kept bringing us drinks even though we still had some. At this point, Alene had 3 gin and tonics to tackle.
Here are Darrell and Mitch at the same function.
We also had the full moon last week, and my pre-dawn view from the sofa was even more amazing than usual.
Driving through Kino, I can't help but love the bright colors they use! This store is called Babalu's!
Those immense Organ Pipe cacti started sprouting what looked like big zits, all on the south side. Then all in one day, they bloomed! Heavenly floral scented air.
We ate lunch one day at La Palapa, right on the beach in New Kino with a view of Alcatraz Island and the thatched palapas on the sand. Ron had fish tacos and I had the hamburger I'd been craving. The seagulls and sparrows help with anything you drop, too.
To sum up our Winter 2009/2010, I'm unable to say it was a good one. We arrived November 5, and my dog had to be euthanized December 5. I was grief-stricken through at least mid March, unable to take much pleasure out of life. I think I just wanted it to be over, that once I was back in Minnesota it wouldn't feel so bad. At the same time, I'm feeling some panic at leaving her here, like she'll feel abandoned. I know that's ridiculous, but...
There were lots of good memories, don't misunderstand. Good friends, laughs, fishing, beachcombing, great food, and much rest. I'm not looking forward to working this summer. I hate that job. But I AM eagerly anticipating seeing those little faces (grandkids), my friends, and MY RIVER. Here it is:
Who is Eecee?
