No Cancun Trip

-
So because of the winter storm, Marcos's flight was cancelled.  He was supposed to go through Philly and since they couldn't land or take off there, they put him on a direct flight to Cancun today.  Instead of going to Cancun yesterday to meet up with Robert McCracken, we waited for him here in Playa.  He rode his bike.... yes, that's right, rode his bike.  Robert has been in Mexico since November and his main mean of transportation is his bicycle.  He rides over 100 miles some days.  In heat, through mosquitos, thirsty, sweaty, but sometimes awesome and refreshing rides.  (ps. Robert is a friend from Skagway, AK)
We basically just sat around and talked, then went down to the beach for some beers.  He is a silly man and gave us a lot of input on how to manage here in Mexico.  Like "Never buy a beer for more than $10 pesos", and "Drink lots of tequila".  hmmmmm... ok!
Today we caught up on our tans, and in about twenty minutes I am going to Cancun to pick up the Spaniard :)

Here are a few pictures of yesterday:
Sarah, Robert and Georgia on the beach!

5th Avenue. The main touristy street!

Cigar making.  Sarah bought one and puff puff puff!

Did you know that Robert when and saw all of the Skagway peeps that went to Lake Chapala this winter (after we told them they HAD to go!)? He's popping up in everyone's photos, it seems. I had no idea he was on a BIKE, though! Crazy man!

Good luck with that tan!

The World On Canvas

Lately I have been wanting to do artsy projects, call myself artsy, and hope people believe I really am... artsy.   Pinteres t has been amazing, in that I can find fun and easy home projects, pin them to my  craft board , and then attack them when I have a free day.  Well today was 'do something creative with a map' day. I have always wanted a world map in my home, but I hate using thumb tacks, and who wants to have a poster continuously falling down because the sticky putty you are using is useless. (Ahem, Marcos, I'm talking to you.) And because I want a GIANT world map, buying a frame for it is out of the question, as they are too expensive. Luckily, I found this project by Creative Juices Decor on Deedra's pinterest board .  Canvases and Mod Podge?  I'm in. I bought a brand new, though antique looking, world map at Barnes and Nobles and went to work. Seven hours later, with a sore neck, glued fingers, a trip back to the book store for a replacement m...

The removal of a 7-9mm kidney stone.

-
About two years I got an x-ray at my Chiropractor's office to check out my back.  After reviewing the films, we found a little spot in my kidney area about the size of a pencil eraser.  I didn't do anything about it until this fall.  After doing an endoscopy for other reasons, my doctor told me I had a kidney stone about 7mm in size, like a small raisin.  Isn't it funny how doctors describe size by comparing them to fruit or nuts?!  So I went to visit a urologist who told me I needed to get the sucker out!! Today was the day.  I really didn't anticipate it being such a big deal, but um.... yeah, it was a big deal!! Here is how it went: No eating after midnight, no drinking past 10 am.  Dave picked me up at 11:30am, get to hospital, check in on first floor, to be directed to another check in on the 5th floor, to yet again go to another check in across the sky bridge.  Wait a moment, get checked in AGAIN in another office, wait some more.  F...

October... and now Spain

October was a crazy month.  If you thought for one second that September was busy with sales in Skagway for me, ha! October was three times that busy.  I jammed three months of work into one month (though I still have more to do), as well as, recruited 25 plus volunteers and helped raise more than $54,000 for  Get Hitched Give Hope .  I would love to do an entire blog just on GHGH, but I will leave it to the  blog website  to fill you in.  The entire month I didn't stop.  I had Sarah and Jared in town, then right after Terry and Drew in town.... a short trip to Ketchikan, and then Mom and Michelle in town in Seattle.  My birthday weekend was a blast.  Valerie came to visit and we enjoyed every minute of it.  Thank you Ketchikan weather for being so amazing! Here are a few pictures of my October. Hike with Matt (and Valerie) in Ketchikan Home town, view from 3rd avenue trail Beautiful Carol, Michelle and I at GHGH Soooooo ...
