Out with the Old

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Mexico

Well another year is coming to an end.  It has not been a year that we would ever want to re live, but life marches on and if we want to be part of it we have to put on the big girl panties and head out!!  There have been positive accomplishments in our lives this year as well and for those we are thankful.  So on this final day of 2022, I hope everyone can look back and find some things that make them happy!!

A few chores to do in the early afternoon.  We are dismantling and cleaning our fantastic fans.  They sure do get full of gunk!!  Especially the kitchen one.  Putting them back together will be another days job.

Even the outside covers need cleaning

The kitchen one soaking in the sink!  It was really dirty.

Nothing but clear sky do I see!

clean parts

Somebody, I think maybe Bill Bell, posted a picture of Rincon Guayabitos which is a couple miles down the beach.  It is the tourist area and they are all there for the holiday.  Not sure I could handle crowds like that.  Our place is just out of the picture on the top left corner.

Our beach was a little more relaxed.

Before getting into our New Years Eve I want to tell you a story.  A week ago or so we went for breakfast down the beach and on our return, Susan and Suzanne were walking together as they approached our place.  Susan saw a new sign and thought that the owners had renamed the place AGAIN.  She made the comment that the new name was kinda nice but wondered why they had changed it from Romantic Escapes.  Well her friend Suzanne almost fell on the ground laughing because she figured it out faster than Susan did.  Here is the new name.  Do you see what it is??

For those who don't know a little Spanish, the sign actually says "House for Sale"!!!  Here is the actual sign which is a little farther down the fence.  The whole thing was good for a laugh.

So for New Years Eve we were invited to Abuela's casa to be with them.  They always have a fun time with lots of people.  It started out with some good food and conversation.

Then some dancing and carrying on!

ending with piñata's and firecrackers.  Everyone had a great time and it was a lot of fun.  We enjoy spending time with our Mexican family.  

We did observe a gorgeous sunset before the party and I tried to get the fire in the wine glass like I did last year.  Normand and Suzanne are such good subjects.  And that's it for 2022!  Good Nite!!
