I have been absent from posting but we are having a wonderful time. My knee is still sore but other days it is okay. I am doing a full set of my exercises everyday and walking a bit on the beach as well. I was going to get an MRI just for the heck of it. Prices have gone way up\u00a0\ud83d\ude44 So I am going back to day by day. Got some great shots of the girls on the beach today. Somehow they got into deep water. We now know that they can swim\u00a0\ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Close up of one my plants from last season that did not bloom. Love its flowers this year.<\/p><\/div>\n

We are building new friendships and renewing old ones. Sadly the girls are being rather vocal and we have been using their bark collars. They are enjoying all the various visitors we get everyday but seem to want to say hola rather loudly to everyone. Overall they are 90% better than last season, its just that they like to greet everyone. We have offers from folks who want to puppy sit.<\/p>\n

Lacey lived next door when we arrived but had to move to RV2 for a few weeks re scheduling. The girls miss their playdates.<\/p><\/div>\n

It is really difficult to come inside and sit at the computer with everything being so wonderful out there. \u00a0The outside is done for Christmas and Colin put up the inside coloured lights. Tomorrow I will put up our special decorations inside and our mini mini tree.<\/p>\n

Thank you Cindy for this lovely photo of our Mountain Ash back home. I am sure that the winter birds will be happy.<\/p><\/div>\n

As in years past I am accepting donations via E-Transfer or PayPal for the December 24th food hamper distribution to those that need help in providing a Christmas for their families. Click here<\/a> for a synopsis of years past.<\/p>\n

This is this years request for donations and their hope for this Christmas season. $24.00CAD will give a family a complete Christmas meal along with extras for a few days.<\/p><\/div>\n

Photos from the past few years.<\/p><\/div>\n

Volunteers help package the food.<\/p><\/div>\n

The RV Park now has a Santa on a sleigh ( ATV dressed up ) who will go out December 23rd giving candies to all the children on the Isla. The official Isla Santa passed last year and now we have Drew who grew his white beard long these past months just for the children. Hopefully I will get a few photos.<\/p>\n

Tres Amigos RVers has a committee who do many things to raise funds to also help the less fortunate on the Isla. They get the names of those in need from the heads of the various areas in the Colonia. These people get coupons to spend at one of the two food stores here on the Isla. We support both but I have a soft spot in my heart for Dallas and his Isla born wife Rocio.<\/p>\n

This is a large one.<\/p><\/div>\n

Surprised to see all these cruise ship visitors sitting close up to the RV fence. Perhaps they feel more secure.<\/p><\/div>\n

In other news we have a broken toilet seat. Rather precarious\u00a0\ud83d\ude33\u00a0 Colin may may need to duck tape things for the time being. Not sure if we can get a replacement here. Sadly Erik our wonderful RV tech’s wife had a stroke last week. So this is not the time to be bothering him with things like this. Gracie is coming along but has a very long road to recovery.<\/p>\n
