February 12 to 17, 2012; Celebrations, and doctor visit

FEB  12, Sunday; pizza day

The day began quietly with a late breakfast then a lazy morning.  We went to the lot to visit with Kim & Tim whom arrived yesterday but they weren’t home so we visited with Steve and Linda and Cathy for about an hour then drove home.  As we arrived at the corner of the main street, K & T drove by so we stopped and chatted for a while.  They had actually gone to our park looking for us, how ironic!  Anyway, we came home and read for a while then it was time for Happy hour.  At 6 pm, we all walked over to a small mall where we had pizza then came home.  Some of the crowd went upstairs for two margaritas for the price of one but we came home and called it a night!

FEB  13, Monday, Doctor appointment

Val’s tai-Chi then my doctor’s appointment; that was the excitement of the day!  My C-PAP machine has been giving me trouble with my eyes and my sinus and the doctor gave me a prescription for nose spray and eye drops; I sure hope it works.  Leo and Lynden went fishing and finally caught 3 fishes, big enough to eat.  We had Happy Hour then dinner which consisted of tortilla, crab meat and roast pork meat.  It was delicious!  In the evening, we watched a movie.

FEB  14, Tuesday, HAPPY VALENTINE DAY!

The day began with big heavy and dark clouds.  We thought for sure we would get rain but by noon, all the clouds were gone and we were back in sunshine.  We went out to ROSA CANTINA for breakfast and just missed Tim & Kim and the Holders.  We were at the lot after breakfast to drop off a book and found that out.  Back at the Park, we all (except Pat & Rick) went to the gringo golf course in the desert where we played BOCCE COCO!  Each couple bought and decorated coconuts then we made a tournament and proceeded to have a ball (pun intended)!  Lynden and Charlene won first prize and Leo & Lynn the “booby prize”.  We each had paid 10 pesos and that became the main prize.  At 4 pm, we came back to the Park and had a quick Happy Hour then everyone went their way to celebrate Valentine.  Val and I went to the “PALAPA GRIEGAS” where we had a very nice Greek dinner.  Unfortunately there was no music but we made our own!  Overall it was a lovely day, cool but sunny and windy to keep the heat down.

FEB  15, Wednesday, Happy Birthday Tim

Tim & Kim were here to meet Pat and Rick for a golf game but first they were having lunch at CHARLY’s ROCK.  We were headed for Guaymas but decided to join them for lunch first.  In Guaymas, we went to Walmart to pick up a few things then came home.  We had Happy Hour at 4 and then Pat, Rick and us drove to the PALAPA GRIEGAS ( Greek restaurant) and met the Lot people to celebrate Tim’s birthday.  The food was great; Val and I had a red pepper filled with meat and rice and a Greek salad on the side.  They had music which made it even more pleasant.  We had a great time and came home by 8 pm and joined our crew at the fire for a few minutes.  At 9 pm, we went in to watch “SURVIVOR” first episode!
It was a bit cooler today; only got up to 20*C!

FEB  16, Thursday, Cloudy again

Big black clouds in the north but it is trying to clear up; the sun is peaking through periodically.  In the latter part of the morning, P&R, us and Joyce & Bill went to the beach where we took pictures for peoples’ birthday coming up then we came home.  We went into where I took pictures of the places we’ve been doing business, shopping or eating and will post them on Picasa and our facebook.  We stopped for a hamburger at “THE EDGE” and just as we finished, Joyce and Bill walked in.  We chatted for a bit then came home.  Happy Hour at 4:30 pm and at 6 pm, Tim and Kim came and we had dinner at Pat & Rick.  Val made a shrimp sauce with pasta, Pat made the desert and garlic bread and Kim the salad.  Everything was absolutely delicious!  We had a very nice visit and came home around 9 pm
