It's December already

Happy birthday wishes to Taylor's mom, Trina, today.)  I just realized why November 28 seemed such an important day; Taylor turned 20!!!!  Happy belated Birthday Tayman.  Time sure flies when we're having fun.

I've been pretty lazy recently so I'm writing this blog mainly from my journal notes.

On October 29th we took the rig to a business that makes front window shades for motorhomes.  We left it there for the day although we weren't out of the lot before they started measuring.  Mike, Carol and I then drove over to Algodones, Mexico for a few hours.  I needed to get my glasses repaired.  On the way home from Mexico in the Spring, my glasses blew off a side table at the pool in Jackpot, Nev. and cracked one of the lenses.  The place I bought the glasses was out of business but I found another optical place where they updated my lenses and put in the new ones for me.  They are progressive lenses and only cost about 65.00 US.  I could have had a brand new pair of glasses for only about 120.00 US if I'd been more on the ball.  What matters is that I can see really a lot better now that the lenses are fixed.

The next morning we hit the swap meet before heading south to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.  We got two chairs and a large mat for the pad.  Good deal on those.  Not too many dealers there yet at this time of year.

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument is the northern point of the Organ Pipe Cactus, located south of Ajo, Arizona.

Well that finally worked.  So sorry folks, about the delay in doing our blog.  Uploading photos has been a nightmare so I just quit writing.  Today is December 14th, 2010.  We've been busy doing what we wanted to do.  Some days it wasn't much.  Other days we golfed; went to the market in La Penita; took a drive to Mega and WalMart in Bucerias or a couple of times, went to Puerto Vallarta to Costco and once to Mike and Deb's to let them know we are back.  We did enjoy a trip into Rincon de Guayabitos one evening to the beach to launch 12 hour old Riley turtles back into the ocean.  That was the highlight of my trip so far.  I hope in my next post I will be able to upload my turtle pictures.  See you soon.
