So THIS is where you guys have been!

[MexicoKaren]

Hey everybody! Thanks, Jeeks, for inviting me over. Some new faces and some familiar faces make it a very good party. For those of you who don't know me yet, I am an expat from the northwest US (Portland, OR), enjoying the Pacific Coast of Mexico with my DH. We've lived here (near Puerto Vallarta) for almost three years and it is a culinary adventure as well as a place of great beauty and friendship. In my former life, I was a university administrator and lobbyist :ohmy: - I have now allowed the right half of my brain to take over, and I spend my days painting (even sell a few). Looking forward to getting to know you all better...

Saludos,
Karen

Karen, that sounds glorious. I wish that I could be in the land of sunshine and not have any worries. It is my fantasy. One day, I shall travel.

Hi Karen. Yep, you're in the land of the rebels, misfits and other assorted troublemakers (according to the Napoleons back at the ranch):nono1: I feel liberated, as do others who have migrated here. No more chastisement for not following the rules.

[Maverick2272]

Or having signatures too long...:huh:

[MexicoKaren]

Oh Lee, thanks for the nice compliment. And TG, that bunny! OMG, could anything be cuter???? The cute meter just spun out of control........
