Busted!!!

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Not much happening here today.  I have been watching Ice Pilot NWT reruns the last few days and really enjoying seeing them again.  Well today all of that came to a screeching halt when the app I watch it on decided we could no longer use it because of license problems.  Shoot.  Now what will I do.  I went to bed early tonight to sulk.  Good Nite!!

Local Animal Rescue Fundraiser

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Today we had tickets to attend the annual J.E.E.P animal rescue fundraiser.  Each year they hold an open house for everyone to attend.  It features Silent Auction, 50/50, horse back photo ops, lots of beverages, and a nice chicken lupper.  It is a chance for people to come and see all the animals and all the good things that George and Loretta do for homeless animals.

Lots of volunteers help with the event and Fany and Max have been going there on a regular basis to walk dogs and of course today they were helping out with raising money to help the animals.  

I had a couple of pretty dates for the event so I was quite content.

I bid on and won a model hot air balloon.  It was actually donated by Jeff and Fany and I wanted it.  This is a little side business of theirs, going to balloon festivals in Canada and the USA and selling them.  I think they are cute.

Looks good on our awning.

And of course the reason we were there was to see all the animals and interact with a lot of them.  They are all very cute.

Welcome peoples, right this way please.

A pet pig if you need one.

A soft little pony

The Hilltop Refugio is literally at the top of the mountain in La Penita and you can look down over the farmland from the back and then go to the other side to look down on La Penita from the front.  Very pretty.

We got all finished up there in time for sunset on our beach.  It was a lovely sunset tonight.  Good Nite!!

Life is About Eating.

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Today is market day again.  I always say I don't need to go to the market, but it seems I always end up there.   There are just lots of people and things there, so it is kinda exhilarating just to navigate it.  There is absolutely nothing I need, but it is fun looking for it. 

Nice Dorado fish

I ran into Jeff and Fany and Max at the market, so we took some time to get our bellies full of birria.

We spotted some more cocoons in the vines today.  It looks like there will be lots of butterflies at some point in time.

As usual most things around here go with eating.  That was no different today.  Supper was planned with Wanda and Irwin and John and Susan at Sergio's.  We had a great meal and good conversation.  Thanks for inviting me.

Finally as little sliver of a sunset tonight just to remind us that it actually does happen, clouds or not.  Good Nite!!!

We May be Raising Butterflies

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

This morning Wanda texted me to see if they could use the Jeep today so they could go up to Chacala for the afternoon.  I had to dig out the beach chairs for them to use.  They have been stored over the summer in the bodega.

We discovered this morning that there are some caterpillars eating on the climbing vine on the front of the house.  They are also starting to get in the cocoon mode it seems.  Jen looked them up on the internet and reported that they will turn into pretty butterflies in a while.  It will be fun to watech them.

Jeff and Fany took me out for lunch today.  We tried to have birria but we came up empty handed.  They were all closed for the day.  So we went to Mario's for lunch instead. We had a lovely lunch and a great visit.  Thanks for dragging me along.

Nothing much for a sunset tonight but the colour of the sky is still pretty.   Good Nite!!!

Always Love a Bionico

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Susan reports that she had a good sleep and is now setting up a schedule of all the things she wants and needs to do.  She hopes to visit all of the kids while she is there, but her main job is to get Karalee back on her feet.  She sent me some pictures of her departure last night from PV.  

I continued on doing what I normally do around here and todays job was to get some propane for the house.  

Then a yummy little late lunch from the taco stand downtown.  

I took another trip downtown in the evening for a peach bionico from Suzanna at the Cafecito.  She is always such an upbeat person.  And her daughter Soy has lots of smiles too.

We didn't see an actual sunset tonight, not because of cloud or anything else but rather because I was busy talking when I should have been listening.  Oh well, I'm sure there will be another one sometime.

Good Nite!!!
