Susan Heads to Winnipeg

WHERE ARE WE? La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico

Today Susan will be heading back to Manitoba.  Our daughter Karalee has been through some medical problems this winter and just needs a little "Mom" time.  She may not agree but I think Susan can help her get back on her feet.  Susan will be staying for however long it takes which may be up to 3 weeks.  I hope Karalee takes advantage of the help she brings.  Susan headed into PV with John and Kirly around noon for her 5:30 flight.

While I was sick, the pool got out of hand so yesterday I shocked it and then added clarifier later in the day.  It got to settle the algae overnight and we had to vacuum it this morning.  Ed took over the vacuum duties to help me out and Jen provided the supervision from above.  I think we got it all back under control.  This process takes lots of water because everything you vacuum goes straight outside through an inch and a half pipe, so pool levels drop fast. 

Of course because we are using a lot of water, I check the cistern and find out that we have not been receiving our regular allotment of town water and after checking with Sergio, it is possible that the line may not be fixed in time for tomorrow's allotment either.  So Ed and I decided that we would order up a truck load of water to make sure we have enough to get through to Friday.  It never rains but what it pours.

With that accomplished I got to sit on the beach with my feet up for a while.  The pelicans were having a hay day scooping up a school of small fish out front.  We also got to watch some whale action with the long eyes (binoculars)!

I had an Amazon package for me today.  I had ordered a new charger for my computer and that's what it was.  Now I won't have to fight to get my computer to charge.

This afternoon the neighbours are having a big birthday party.  They have set up for about 100 people and the action started in mid afternoon.  Lilly and I sat out on our front beach and listened to the music for an hour or so.  Because they are older people, the music is what we like and can wiggle our toes to.  

The beach people were taking advantage of the good music as well.  

We sat and listened until it was dark.  The party actually only went to about 8 pm.  

We had a rare sighting of lightning out over the mountains tonight.  We have not saw lightning here very often so we enjoyed it while it lasted.  Susan landed in Winnipeg about 10:30 safe and sound.  That's it for today.  Good Nite!!!
