Cuddle Time Today

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Yup, todays post is about one thing only.  We got to meet little Kiarha!!!  She is a cutie pie and Susan loved holding her.  We sure love being Abuela and Abuelo her in Mexico.

She has her little ears pierced already!!!

Archie seemed a little ticked that he didn't get to go and meet the baby.  

We managed to witness another beautiful sunset tonight.  The sun is still moving right to left and will go into the valley and start up the other side before reversing direction on Dec 21. 

This evening I went downtown to check out what was happening in the plaza.  It is the Pina Festival apparently and I missed a band from Calgary playing.  When I got there they were telling all the history of pineapples.  Oh well!!  

There are a bunch of ride there as well.

I sat with Suzanna at the Cafecito for a while and visited before heading home. 

I suggested we have some tacos and she thought that would be alright.  The minute the tacos arrived she got customers and was busy for almost 30 minutes before she could eat them.  I was done before she started eating!!  "Siempre!" she said which means "always"!!   That was it for today.  Its been a great one and we have another Birthday to add to the list.  Good Nite!!!!

Its A Girl!!!

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Well our phones lit up about 12:30 pm last night with the news that baby Kiarha has arrived in the world!!!   Apparently mom and baby are all fine and we went back to sleep with smiles on our faces.  The photo's started coming about 9am showing a gorgeous little girl surrounded by her family.  We are so proud of Kenia for the family she has started and are confident she will make a wonderful mom!!!

Dad Isaiah, Kiarha, and Mom Kenia

No better feeling for a momma

Great Grandma Tina

Uncle Oscar

She's a darling!!!  Can't wait to meet her.

Later in the day we went out with Alan and Sherry to Tonita 1 for a nice shrimp supper.  The restaurant is right on the beach in Rincon Guayabitos.  

We are looking forward to meeting Kiarha tomorrow so we should sleep well tonight!!  Good Nite!!!

CT Scan Day

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Today Susan has an appointment for a CT Scan in Puerto Vallarta at Hospital Joya Marina.  She contacted a person here in La Penita on Sunday that books these kinds of appointments and she was in on Wednesday.   We arrived about 45 minutes early for our noon appointment, and paid our 3000 pesos and the radiologist came and got her and in 5 minutes it was done!!  The test results were emailed to us and the urologist in about 3 hours.  Next step is to get a treatment plan together.  Blue Cross has been great as well so far and most of the cost will be covered.  We will keep you updated.

Next was to look after the growling stomach.  A nice lunch just down the road from Costco.

Costco???  Did I hear someone say Costco??  Yup, thats where we went.  We picked up a few things that we needed including a plastic shelf which will come in handy outside RRV to put the air fryer and BBQ on.  

We were gonna stop at a couple other places, but opted just to head home.  The traffic in PV was crazy today so it was nice not to have to fight it to turn off anywhere.

We followed this pair of pickups for a bit but quickly passed cause that scrap metal could fall off anytime.

Trucks full of Pinapples and scrap metal.  That dryer is about to drop!!!

I always look for the landmark airplane in Nuevo Vallarta.  It is a pretty rickety looking thing with stairs and a platform up there to look inside.  I have never been moved to stop and look and don't think I ever will!!

We got home in time to fill the lawn chairs on the beach for a beautiful sunset.  Kinda like a postcard isn't it???

Always good to have the Saskatchewan cowboy around to share sunset with, and of course you too Sherry!!!   Good Nite!!!

Are We Forgetting?

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

On this day, please take time not only to remember those that gave their lives for us, but what they gave their lives for!  I fear we are quickly forgetting what they fought for.  

Sue Gets a CT Appointment

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Last night Joel was out on the beach for a couple of hours and I had no idea what he was doing.  It turns out that he was shoveling up a berm to stop the water from coming into the yard here.  He is such a hard worker and is truly concerned about looking after this property.  We sure like having him around.  

While walking with Archie today, we came across this pile of clothes on the beach.  There was a hat, shirt, underwear, pants and shoes laying there.  There was no sign of anyone around and I spent some time scanning the ocean for a swimmer, but nope.  Alan and Sherry saw that the clothes were still there an hour later.  It gets one thinking about what happened to the guy?  Did he just go for a swim and never return?  Does someone miss him?  Mysteries of a Mexican beach.

I did manage to wander downtown for my favourite Birra.  My guy was there cooking up a storm.  I think he makes a good living with his little vendor cart.

We had some new people move into the park for a couple weeks.  Danielle and Alan are in site 3 and we hope they enjoy their time here.

I was upstairs today removing some tape from the windows that was there from when there was a threat of a hurricane.  When I was there, I managed to take a quick photo of everyone having fun in the pool.  It is an awesome view from here.

We took a little drive down to the Bodega because we had to pick up our Remitly cash this afternoon.  We had a few things to pick up at the store too and guess what?  The bun lady just dumped a fresh batch of the most yummy buns in the bin!!!  They were still hot!!!  Had to have some of those.

Susan finally got word that she has an appointment for a CT Scan on Thursday in Puerta Vallarta.  I believe it is for 12 or 12:30.  We will have more to report then.  For now, she feels pretty good and is eating better and has more energy.

  

We managed to see a sunset tonight for a change.  It just sort of caps off a wonderful day.  Good Nite!!
