Friends and Tortilla Soup

And the wind continued...  February and March are known to be windy here - I don't mind it as I can still sit on the front porch and watch the ocean - but Glenn on the other hand doesn't get to fish and gets a little restless!

He found things to keep him busy - watering and weeding around the palms, (there is a gardener that comes weekly but Glenn helps him out), cutting the dead palm branches, sweeping outside and rinsing all of the cement, oiling the squeaky cabinet doors and regular doors, pulling the dead palm tree out of the front yard with his truck and replanting another palm, installing the new blinds and curtains we brought down for the house, fixing the leak under the kitchen sink...and whatever else he could find to do!!

Since it was windy, Eric, Hillary, Glenn and I headed to San Jose for major grocery shopping!  We stopped at Costco first and ate and then proceeded to get a few things there!  And then headed to a large grocery store for the rest of the stuff!  It easily took most of the day so we were tired when we got home but it was great to have the majority of the shopping done for a while!

We headed to Smokey's one day for happy hour (and their awesome nachos!!) and saw the donkeys on the way home!

Our friends Colleen and Betsy were only here for a couple more days so we met at a restaurant for drinks - so fun to catch up with them - and then Glenn and I ordered tortilla soup for dinner and it was excellent!

We took the ATV down the beach to look for sea glass but the waves had been crashing for a few days so we didn't find much - but it's always fun to walk the beach!
