One cucaracha, two cucaracha….

…hopefully no more. We haven’t had ants inside to speak of, nor mice but two cockroaches 😯 in separate incidents is two more cucarachas then we needed to come face to face with 🙁

Something is very faulty with the world as we all know. Something is also defective in the weather. We had the heat on last evening and again this morning. it was only 58F/14C this morning, not what one expects in Mazatlan this time of year. Because of the cold and the wind we have stopped using our front yard and I am no longer walking the beach. However back home it was only 19F/-7C this morning. And it snowed in Vegas a few days ago. Whatever are we heading north to? Wish we could stay but I have an important medical appointment that if I miss it then I would have to wait two years to see that doctor again. Next year we will stay here for five months, hopefully.

Today I found seven more bottles of a very lovely Pinot Grigio 😉

Part of the girls morning routine is to sit and watch the beach and all the activity. Too cold out for the first few hours.

Colin surprised me with a handmade and hand painted butter dish on his last shop in Mazatlan. By the way, Sinaloa is back in the green zone with just around 200 new Covid cases per day specifically here in Mazatlan.  We have laid low this entire time.

No water again for part of a recent day. Someone said it was a break between here and Mazatlan. Are these boats lined up to get into port based on the repair job?

Some worm – likely caterpillars started their new life on my plant. They were gone within 48 hours, the holes will remain.

Carlie keeping Colin company. Funny how she decided to nap under the table.

Just another job to do before we leave. The RV is 90% washed and waxed.

Our leash tree. I am going to have to purchase new sets of collars and leashes as the ocean had ruined these including the special dog tags I had had made up.

Anyone looking for some spring activities?

Me too!

    Could you fly up to Canada for your dr appt, then stay in Mazatlan for a few more months ?
    ( maybe by then the war will be over and fuel prices will be decreasing)

      Sounds so easy doesn’t it? Is is rather complicated as our home is shut down re water and my car has the battery out until we get home. So I would have to stay in a hotel. Most important is that my treatment requires me to stay out of the sun for the next two months or so. It was originally scheduled for January 17th but I was able to extend it so that we could come here for a short while.

    We have been having crazy winds all winter and it’s cooler than usual … honestly I’m ready to go home. I hear the snow is gone at home and it is starting to warm up 🙂
