Date Night

We Hopped on our Public Transportation

and Rode to Our Down Town area,

Where We checked out this Neat Little

Mediterranean Restaurant.

We Loved it!

Then We walked down and Explored a New Shopping Area.

We Walked, and Ate Chocolate, and Enjoyed the Sidewalk Musicians,

till Our Feet Hurt and Bellies Ached!

Colorado

We went for a Little Visit to see My Sister and Her Family.
These are just a random Few pictures of what we did while we were there:

My Brother in Law spent a Long Sunday Afternoon

Making us a Special Brazilian dish, called Pochena (sp?),

My sister and I spent several afternoons,

Decorating and painting things in her Home,

My sister and I (this is My Twin Sister, by the Way)

spent an Evening Out at a Cozy little Restaurant,

Eating Yummy Food, and another Evening we she took me to Bunko with her.

We also, got our Run on , on the Cute Trail Behind her Home.

The Kids spent time Riding Round on their scooters,

Making Rockets, and Playing in the Warm Sunshine.

In All, the time went by too fast!

On the Way Home,

We always Stop at a Grand Place for Ice Cream,

Leg Stretching,

and

Playground Games!

Mexico


Please Forgive-

Blogger is Not Working Right,

and I Can't Get My Text in with My Pictures,

So, Now, I Present You with an Explanation-less Collage!

(Hoo-Ray!)

Things of Note,

(The Try to See which Pictures goes with Which Note Game!)

We Rode Bikes and Hiked Ruins in Coba.

We Had a Favorite Place We Went Often for Dinner and French Toast.

Yoga, Running, Snorkling, Kayaking, Beach Volleyball, and Karaoke.

We Studied the Ruins and Went to the Beach in Tulum.

For Valentine's Day, the Husbands Sent us to Get Mayan Massages. Quite the Memorable Experience. We Left with Firmly Kneaded and Slapped Bodies, Oily Faces and Frizzy Hair. We Looked Stunning when we met up the the Spouses for our Valentines Dinner!

We Ladies also Spent an Afternoon Zip Lining Through the Mexican Jungle!

We Loved Our Time on the Beach with Friends,

Soaking in the Sun,

Drinking Smoothies and Eating Guacamole.

Huge Sigh.

We're Going Through Withdrawals.

Someday


  • I Will Put the Family pictures on Here, that We had Taken Back in October.

And



  • I Will Start the Re-Do on My Bedroom and Master Bathroom, that I've been Thinking about Since Christmas.

Sigh. Someday, Guys. Someday.

Today


B was Coloring on Some Papers for School.


Youngest Brother, J, Decides He would like to Color, too.


Grabs a Marker,


and a Page,


and Happily Colors Away.


On B's School Page.


B was Quite Upset and let Little Brother Know.


J Leaves the Room,


Heartbroken and Crying.


I Watched B to See What He Would Do,


Being so Angry about his Ruined Schoolwork.


He thought a Moment, Grabbed a Paper and a Pen,


and Drew Three Pictures.


Then Called 4 yr Old J in,


and Said,


"Here, You can Color on These"


And Once Again, He Happily Colored Away.


My Heart Melted and My Eyes Watered and I Had to let B Know that


I was Proud of Him,


and I Loved Him.

Chess

While on His Lastest Adventure to China,


Spouse picked up a Cool little Chess Set,


as a Gift for Someone.


As we took it out to Admire it,


9 yr Old says He Knows how to Play Chess.


No.


None of Us Know how to Play Chess,


in this Household.



I Stand Corrected.


9 yr. Old Taught Us All How to Play Chess, Today.


Says He Learned How in First Grade.


And Yah,


The Kid Knows how to Play.


We Played All Day.


[Reckon' We'll be Keeping the Chess Set]
