Acapulco

WOW -- finally! Acalpulco is absolutely gorgeous! The white sand and crystal blue water just leave me speechless. The air is fresh and fragrant with the scent of sunshine and salt water. Yeah, whatever.....

I am currently taking in the view of my hummingbirds enjoying the sprinkler I have set beneath their bird feeders. They like to perch on the fence and "air out" with the water misting on their little bodies. I have to keep an eye on Coalie, the black ranch cat, in case he decides to take advantage of bath time and pounce on a bird. Believe it or not, he actually catches one from time to time.

Sunday found us all very, very sluggish. The stress from the past couple of weeks had caught up with all of us. I managed to make it to my mother's house for lunch and to say good bye to my siblings and their families. I am so thankful everyone is supportive and helped me so much to pull off the wedding and "reception". We had a strong show of friends and family. Cheryl took some amazing pictures and I will post some pictures just as soon as I get a copy of the CD from her.

This week finds me looking forward to DOWN TIME. No hurry to do anything or go anywhere. Well, I do have to make a trip to the closest DPS office to update my driver's license and to the social security office to do the same. Might as well throw in a trip to HEB and Wally World while I am at it. Arrgg. Not a big fan of any kind of shopping so I will have to work myself up to actually making the trip.

As much as I'd like to continue to rattle on about my planned week of leisure, I am off to get a Pina Colada and sit on the beach for a while. I have a stack of books I've been longing to read and a new bottle of sunscreen that needs to be opened. I'll be thinking of each of you as I bask in the Mexican sun and work on my tan.......sigh, it is good to be me!

I'm so happy for you. After the last couple of weeks you've had, you deserve some down time on the sand w/ your books and coladas!
