Well today did not go any better, not at all
So how was my day? Well I am over 12,000 steps, that should tell you something 😯
The best part of the last 24 hours is that for our very late dinner last night, we cut and ate our first meal of kale. It was very good.
We had a good beach walk early this morning just beating the incoming tide. We met some folks from RV2 who had seen some newly hatched tiny turtles cross over the sand towards the water. They did not touch them but made sure than none of the birds in the area got the babies before they reached the water. Sadly when we reached that area we did not see any turtles but we still had a good walk.
The painters were two hours late this morning. They arrived while I was out collecting money from others who were signing up for the fireworks cruise. We still have four open spots. While I was gone Colin cleaned the inside of the RV. He is so very special. He was outside playing his guitar and I was inside here on the computer ( where I spend way too much time ) when I heard a thump. I had a feeling and sure enough as I raced to the bathroom I could see that the skylight over the shower area was broken.
Apparently one of the guys had dropped his sander on top of our skylight and broke through the top layer.
My heart sank. Of course you can’t get these in Mexico. I spent three hours on line and on the phone trying to find something in stock in Tuscon.. We have friends there for another day before heading here but no one had anything in stock. I did try to call your Telus number A & L but it shut down after three rings. No worries as we can’t get the part we need. I did find the part being sold in Missouri, however shipping that skylight here will cost more that the cost of the part. Regardless that skylight does need to be replaced. Yes the painters will have to pay for it but I do feel badly as that will be all of their profit.
Eric was at RV2 today and did come to check out the damage. Hard to tell by the photo but he was able to duck tape the pieces together for now.
Eric verified that the part I had found online was the correct one. He told us that he had taken our muffler in this morning and that there were no mufflers like this in Mexico. So hopefully the shop will be able to repair the one we have.
The sun still set.
We can only hope that tomorrow will be a better day.
Colin managed to drive out and pick up our clean laundry and drop off the soiled laundry. Not sure how we will we have time to get into the mercardo in Mazatlan this week to replenish our veggies and fish. The painters say they will be here by 10AM tomorrow 🙄 We shall just have to see what the day brings.

In the second to the last picture (the first sunset picture) you captured a sunbow. How lovely. : )
Thank you!
Too bad about the broken skylight hopefully you can eventually get a new one.
Amazing how I found the exact one we needed ( the only place in the US ) and then at the end of the day found someone to bring it down to us.
It is too bad about the skylight but accidents happen.The inconvenience isn’t nice but at least you aren’t responsible for the cost. You still managed to get in a very good walk, you had a nice dinner and you have a very special man in your life. You spend winters in the warmth and sunshine of Mexico. A place you love. Life is still very good!
My grandfather used to say, if you never have bad days, how would know when you are having a good one?
Thank you for your positive thoughts Deb. Yes, life is good.
