A Week With Joleen

We dropped Patty and Leonard off at United Airlines and then walked downstairs to meet Joleen who was due to arrive in about 10 minutes.  Boy was I surprised when I looked at the monitor and saw that the plane had landed (early) 1/2 hour ago - within 5 minutes she was through the door!!

We waved goodbye to Patty's as they were still in line and stopped for lunch with Joleen at the same place we had stopped with Patty's over a week ago!!


ATVing down the beach - Glenn fishes, we walk the beach!!


Happy Hour at Smokie's - and YES, we had to order the nachos once again!!  And there was enough left for lunch the next day for all 3 of us!!


The place where we stay in Mexico is very safe - a lot of Americans are here and you never hear of ANY crime here - until this year!!  Apparently there is a lot of building going on at the small town past Los Barriles and they're bringing in workers from out of town - and that seems to be the problem.  Every day we were hearing of something being stolen and gas being siphoned out of gas tanks!  Because our house is right by the beach road, there is some traffic and a very small parking area right close.  One night Glenn woke up as he heard a car and looked out about 3:00am and there was a black SUV sitting in the parking area - he turned on the BIG floodlight that lights up our front yard where the boat is and the car left.  We started locking everything up tight at night and leaving outside lights on all night (which did make it a little hard to sleep with all that light!!)  And then Glenn decided to make "Leroy" to sit on our couch as there are no curtains or shades along the living room, just a slider and huge windows!  We left the lamp on so people could see directly in!

And for an update, the police DID catch 4 banditos a few days ago - they rammed their black SUV (yup - was probably them in the parking area scouting out places) and arrested them!!  And so far, no more thefts - hooray!!  The police used to patrol a few times every day and now there are several that are around!


One of our favorite photo spots!!


We loved walking the beach every morning around sunrise (and that darn sun just keeps rising earlier and earlier every day!!)
