Mission

A good friend once said to me: "If a door opens in front of you - get off your ass and dance through it...laughing."

I'm trying, Nancy!

Welcome back

Welcome back to the regular blog.

As much as I love Mexico,  I also love coming home again.  Sure, there's snow on the ground, but that's just an excuse to put the fire on and sit on the couch with a cup of hot chocolate and a good book.  Aaaahh!

Other things that I love about coming home:
Icy cold milk and 2-bite chocolate brownies.  Mmm...mmm! 


Yes, Mexico has milk, but it just doesn't taste the same to me.  I'm picky about my milk - I never drink it when I'm travelling.

Lavender scented baths...heaven.

I went grocery shopping yesterday and managed to buy everything on my list - all in one store!   And I didn't get blasted with techno-pop music while I was shopping.

We've been home for almost 2 full days and not a single person has stood outside our house yelling at us to give them work, or food, or money. 

Asparagus season is just starting.

There is a teensy, tiny green shoot popping up through the snow in the back yard.  Spring is coming!  Before you know it, my garden will be alive and blooming.  Yaay!

Recycling! 

Paper products that aren't scented unless they specifically say so.  I mean, do we really need perfume-y toilet paper?

There's a magic box in this kitchen.  You put the dirty dishes in it, push a button, and the dishes come out clean.  How cool is that?!

☺☺☺☺☺☺

That being said, there are only 229 days before we head back to México!

Today we only had the little boys from next door looking for dulces.
"Seis, seis!"
Um, since there are three of you, how about tres?
Good? now bugger off.
Oh, and the empanada guy who knocked just as Melody was grabbing a bite after work before rushing off to Spanish class.
"Manana, gracias"
Temp got up to about 30C today, the real heat is on its way.

Did they get the good dulces or the tamarind stuff?

We're out of the tamarind so right now they're getting big red heart-shaped suckers. They won't last long though.

Had to go shopping for new dulces yesterday. Because I told them, "No tengo dulces. Necesito comprar mas. Mañana."
