Breaking heat records today. Yesterday it was scorching but today it is searing hot, we got up to 102F. Finally down to 86F at 9PM tonight as I type this. The A\/C is still on. I had to drive into town for my kinesiology appointment early this afternoon and then I made seven stops on the way home\u00a0\ud83d\ude2f \u00a0About six too many. Some short and some much longer. It was wonderful to walk into the cool air at home. The A\/C is working just fine in my car but with all the stops it barely cools down. Sadly the heat is generating many new fires\u00a0\ud83d\ude25<\/p>\n

The first morning that Colin was gone I looked outside. Where were the girls? They usually spend the morning hours in this dog bed.<\/p><\/div>\n

We leave in seven weeks and six days for Mexico. I have to start doing all the to do’s. I don’t even have a list, I am doing things as they pop into my mind. \u00a0Colin spent the last two ( very very long and hot ) days doing photography ( interiors and exteriors of a multi million dollar home ) for one of our clients. He will be home now for at least a week sitting at his desk doing editing and photoshop. The girls missed him so much, it was sad to see. Each time a car drove past they jumped up to see if it was him. Last night when he finally got home after 10PM ( he left at 8:30AM and never had a break all day ) the girls very firmly expressed to us that they would be sleeping in our bed. In fact they were asleep on top of the bed covers with 15 minutes of Colin getting home. They could finally relax and rest. The last few days had been difficult for them.<\/p>\n

How could they lay on that hot concrete? Can you see who is the dark chocolate and the milk chocolate girl?<\/p><\/div>\n

This might be why they call them hot dogs!<\/p><\/div>\n

The lovely couple who are extremely interested in purchasing our home came by this past Saturday. They were measuring a variety of areas inside and outside of our home. Once done we sat down to have ‘the’ discussion. The numbers seemed to work, however there was no way that I could sell, pack up my home and find a place to store everything in just eight weeks. I kindly explained that we were interested but the time was not right for us. I refuse to be homeless. So we agreed to speak again May\/June. Such a relief, decision made. We will look at the Isla and other areas in Mexico through different eyes this coming winter. Depending on what we find and where, then we will rethink the house sale or just keep it\u00a0\ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n

This just might make the perfect new home for us! Doxiemobile.<\/p><\/div>\n

Lovely sunset this evening, likely in part due to the smoke we have had for a few days.<\/p><\/div>\n

The triplets, February of 2021. They were so very tiny. Wish I could go back and hold them at that size again.<\/p><\/div>\n

Here at home in March of 2021. Those tiny noses grew so fast. I love them all over again.<\/p><\/div>\n
