    He is a beautiful boy. I love orange and white cats, and used to have a Maine Coon cat that looked alot like Mush. Don't worry about the screen - you can have pets or you can have a perfect house, but you can't have both. Living in a perfect house would be lonely for us without Diego, Maggot...

    Apple Cheddar Turnovers

    I always double this recipe, and I mix the crust in my food processor. It works if you are VERY VERY careful not to over mix. Just a few pulses for the butter, which I dice and put in the freezer for about a half hour before I add it. Then a few pulses more after you add the water - take it out...

    OMG, Vera - you guys look smashing! I love the hat. And the necklace. You are a woman of genuine and unique style. And Lou looks handsome and happy (might have something to do with your left hand). Oops. Am I going to get in trouble for saying that?

    Here is my favorite we have encountered here so far - he isn't actually a true spider, but he does have eight legs. With his legs, he is about 12-14 inches in diameter, and he was in our back yard. He is actually a tailless whip scorpion and he isn't venomous, but is considered good luck because...

    Thanks everyone...Milo's quite a little guy. He sure has brought alot of smiles and joy to our lives already. Hope he keeps thriving.If the sources I found through Google are to be believed, it's tricky to raise an abandoned baby opossum. Oh well, we will apply ourselves.

    I just did, Keltin...I am so glad that I married a man who will eat dinner with a opossum on his head.

    Here is a quick update on Milo...we had a nice dinner tonight on the patio with guests, and Jerry ate his entire dinner with a opossum on his head. Milo loves Jerry's thick hair - it must remind him of being on his mama's back. Fortunately, we had guests who know us well and were not a bit put...

    We had a real gullywasher that started about 5 this morning - lots of thunder and lightning, torrential rain. Our town is bisected by an arroyo (dry river bed) that gets pretty wet this time of year. Someone made the mistake of parking in the arroyo last night, and his car washed all the way...

    Oh thanks for your encouraging words, Adillo and Keltin! We THINK he's a boy (he appears to have rudimentary testicles, but what do we know about opossums?). He's pretty frisky this evening - we just fed him and Jerry is sitting at his computer watching Countdown and cuddling him. (He's used to...

    Hey Tom, come on down to Mexico! Lots of people boogey on our wonderful beach here in Bucerias, and Sayulita, about 15 miles north of us, is even more popular, because it is outside of the bay and less protected, with better waves. They even have international surfing championships there. I've...

    Wow, my husband REALLY enjoyed your pics and especially the video. He was amazed at how quiet your bike runs. He began riding a Kawasaki 1000 during the mid-70s, and sold it just before we moved down here. It was a gut-wrenching decision for him. He pored over all of your pictures and was very...

    We lost two more friends this week...

    Haven't been around much the past few days - a close friend who lives here in Bucerias died in a car accident yesterday. He was traveling back here from Arizona and had a single car accident somewhere just north of Hermosillo, in the state of Sonora. Larry was an important part of our community...

    We had lots of hatching cicadas a few months ago. You know, they stay underground for YEARS, then fly out and attach themselves to something and metamorphose. Pretty spectacular sight. Here are some pictures I took of one hatching, also a pic of me, daughter Justine and Jerry having coffee at...
