Six Words and Sunday Shadows....November 22-23, 2014


Our wild turkeys have no fear


However this bird will be dinner
While vacationing in Mexico we rode a little
bus with a family and their Christmas dinner.
This wild bird is a Cachalaca. They are taking
it home to feed it corn, bread and bananas
until Christmas eve.  I felt sorry for it, however
there's really no difference to our Thanksgiving Turkey 
or a traditional English Christmas Goose. Other than
this family truly knows where their dinner comes from.

Here's more INFO about this bird.
And here are the links to Six Words
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

It's Awww Monday November 17, 2014



On our last day at the Catalina 
in Zihuatanejo we were joined 
for breakfast by the three resident cats....



Later on while having a snack before 
leaving for the airport one of the sisters
came by for a personal visit. 
Usually the other two don't let her get close
to us....but they weren't there.


So she got oodles of skritches
and she was quite happy.
Til we got up to go.....



Here she is as we said goodbye...
I really wanted to tuck her under my arm 
and bring her home with us....but 
you know who ( Lucy ) would have been furious.
Her little face was so sad....made me sad too.
I hate goodbyes....

It's Feline Friday Plus a Visit to La Barra! November 14, 2014


Here's Lola- in her favorite dining room chair!



On our way to Barra La Potosi- our annual
"Field trip". This time our transportation
had a vast improvement. We got to the bus station
and the nine of us got to ride in a comfy new van!



Complete with on demand AC!



Here's Russell, Bob, Judy and John.... 



Ted's at the head of the table....



Ron, Jeff and Chris 
and our waiter in the background...



This was our view!



Men watching food being prepared...



La Senora cooking tasty dishes!


Russell had Guacamole 
( for our missing buddies Wynn and Roberto)


And I had Avocados stuffed with shrimp...


Some of us had very good Marguerita's
and you can spot a few cervezas in the background...


Earlier this fall a hurricane did an enormous amount
of damage to this little place. They lost considerable
beachfront and are just beginning to rebuild.
We had a very enjoyable day.
Our van driver returned to pick us up right at 2:30pm
and took us all the way to our hotel! Woo hoo!


A perfect sunset for our perfect day!
