Eclipse in Baja

 How cool that we were in Baja when the eclipse occurred!  Joleen brought down glasses so we could see it - we were at 95% totality and I had no idea it if would get darker out or what!

We headed out to the porch for a couple of hours with our coffee and started looking through our glasses - it was interesting to watch!  It did get darker when it was at its' 95% but by no means did it get actually DARK!  Glenn took a picture of us with our cool glasses - ha!

I tried several ways to get a picture but just didn't accomplish it - oh well!


Glenn had a dentist appointment in town - he had needed a crown for a couple of years (or so he said?) so Joleen and I decided to just ride in with him and walk around while he was at the dentist - we even brought our books just in case the appointment got really long!

We walked in back of the main street where they have the pickleball courts and it's always so pretty back in there!


We were still walking in the back when Glenn texted and said he was done - NO WAY!!  It had only been 15 minutes so I knew something had happened so we rushed back!  Sure enough, Glenn said he got in there and the dentist (who remembered him because Glenn had taken him fish the last time he was in there) took an x-ray and said there was NO crown needed and no place to even put one????  REALLY?  I think Glenn must have been dreaming when he thought the dentist back home told him he needed one!  Anyway the dr did say he had a slight fracture in one tooth so it was filled and he was out of there - all in 15 minutes!!  Now THAT'S the way a dentist should be!  It will be interesting to see what happens when Glenn goes back to his regular dentist back home!

During one of the windy days, Glenn got out a puzzle that Nita and Karen had left in the house!  He worked on it quite a bit but was exasperated because he said a puzzle piece was missing!  Glenn looked in the couch and under the couch (as did I) and he said there was no use finishing it because there were probably other missing pieces!  I searched too but couldn't see it but told Glenn I doubt there were any more missing since it was a NEW puzzle!  And then one day Glenn is looking at the box cover at the picture (which he must have done at least a couple hundred times as he was doing the puzzle) and RIGHT THERE ON THE BOX SOMEONE HAD WRITTEN, MISSING A PIECE!!!  OH my gosh, I can't believe he didn't see that before - we got a good laugh out of that!


Joleen's last walk on the beach!


We took Jo back to the airport on Wednesday - she sure enjoyed her time here!

My other friend Jo (who lives down here) invited me to Spa the next day to swim and relax!  It's so pretty over there!

And our beach life continues......
