| 29th May 2009 Jan Hoey | great comments. - From: Going home, saying hasta luego until the next time.... I do understand how much you love you little get away. It was so much like that growing up in south america when I was a kid but very hard to describre to others the way of life outdoors with all the cucarachas and iguanas. I hope to be able to visit next year. Have a safe trip home and don't get too stressed with the wedding. |
| 12th May 2009 Rose | Adios to the Baja - From: Going home, saying hasta luego until the next time.... Well I hope that you bring the warm weather when you return........... Enjoy your last days in the Baja! |
| 11th May 2009 Sue | Sniff! Sniff! - From: Going home, saying hasta luego until the next time.... Kath, I could tell through your writing how much you love your place. If you could get rid of the dogs, I would definitely come down. The kids swimming in the drinking water was not appetizing!! LOL See you Friday. Enjoy your last few days. Love, Sue |
| 11th May 2009 Joyce Sweeney | - From: Going home, saying hasta luego until the next time.... You two have a safe trip home. Sure enjoyed our visit with you and all of your blogs. I'm just too lazy to reply to each one, but now that I have my own computer I am getting better at getting on. Bob made you a couple of pictures to take home. Susie has them for you. See you soon. Love, Joyce |
| 11th May 2009 Nita | Heading home - From: Going home, saying hasta luego until the next time.... That was a beautifully written piece and it's clear how much you love your "home away from home" with all your new friends and new adventures. But you always have something to look forward to.....going back next year! I shall miss hearing about your Baja life. Here's to a safe trip home.......Nita |

| 28th April 2009 Sue | No mention of earthquake? - From: Still having fun....AND a side note on the SWINE FLU! Hey! Those flowers are really pretty. You will have to teach me. You didn't mention the earthquake. I heard it was in Oxaca (sp?). Anyway it keeps it exciting. Tomorrow is my last day here. I am very sad about going home. Plus, the weather is not very nice. I am going to freeze!!! Keep your mask on!!!! LOL Love, Sue |
| 22nd April 2009 pondhopper | wow............... - From: My first adventure on the ATV know what you mean... we borrowed an atv when in Bahia de Los Angeles, 4 bikes out on a trek...first time Dave had driven one had some hairy moments only because of the terrain..Dave's a good driver...I don't do heights nor steep climbs...needless to say we had to scale some...white knuckle ride or what !!!good fun and you see some fab places ... |
| 22nd April 2009 Rose | Great Adventure - From: My first adventure on the ATV Glad that you got this ATV to take these adventures, otherwise you wouldn't have enjoyed the views and the fun with the gals! Hope you go on a few more adventures! |

| 20th April 2009 maureen | - From: My first adventure on the ATV Looks like a blas,t Kath. Wow, the adventure just keeps getting better, eh? |
| 20th April 2009 Rose | Nice shopping..... - From: Countdown to going home...... It looks like some fun trips, but be careful on your new ATV! |
| 19th April 2009 pondhoppers on the road | homeward bound....... - From: Countdown to going home...... Have enjoyed the blogs...really must look into doing one for our travels but how do you find the time ?? !! this retired life is sooooo busy ......lol:) safe travels home...keep in touch Hi to Mike did he ever "sail" the boat !!!!!! cheers ...BTW we're in Arizona now heading East expect arrive Florida mid June....... |
| 19th April 2009 Nita | I'm going to miss reading about your adventures. - From: Countdown to going home...... One more year and we still haven't met face to face.....maybe next year??? Love Big Red and would take a ride on it anytime. Gorgeous here in Laguna and temps to reach 90 degrees by Monday....didn't go near the beach today or tomorrow, as I know it's packed! Flea Markets are so much fun and I always find something I didn't know I needed. There's one here (in Costa Mesa) that is year-round and I love it....found adorable handpainted shirts for $1.99 last time I was there....yes, $1.99 and good quality fabric. My friend who moved here from the Detroit area about the same time I did is moving back the end of June, and I'm so sad. She's tired of working so is quitting, will spend her summers at her lake home in Mi. and rent something here for the winter. She wants me to visit her later this summer, but I'm looking at 2 trips to Colorado and just don't know yet. Enjoy your remaining days to the FULLEST! BTW, that picture at the Road House is weird....I see the blonde pushing back her hair but the other person in which looks headless!!! |
| 14th April 2009 sue | - From: Easter Greetings Did you pray for me???? LOL Beautiful background for a religious ceremony. Hey, have you forgotten what we have done to disturb people? This might be your payback! LOL Love, Sue |
| 11th April 2009 Jan Hoey | fried computer - From: Mike's New Boat! I have so enjoyed your blogs. My computer fried a couple of weeks ago and I hope I didn't miss too many. I lost your email address so when you get home or can email me I am now back up but with no addresses. Your place looks great and have enjoyed seeing the improvements. Love to you. How are the spanish classes going? |
| 9th April 2009 pondhoppers | glassless bottom boat ...... - From: Mike's New Boat! ok ok it's an optical illusion....I've heard fishing stories but this beats all... love the pics...you will have fun with that boat... we're heading East now, just arrived Yuma it's howling but 80F when you heading North?....cheers Issyn Dave xxx |
| 8th April 2009 Rose | Nice Boat and Pretty Pig Dish! - From: Mike's New Boat! Well, your gate looks GREAT! I bet it's nice now not to have to have any more work at this point. I bet Mike will get really far in the nice boat, LOL! Well, try and enjoy the rest of your wintering, as it's still winter here. We had SNOW again today......alas tomorrow is suppose to bring sun and warmer temps. Adios!! |
| 7th April 2009 nita | Wow! That's quite a boat!!! - From: Mike's New Boat! If he goes out in that, you'll be making the trip back to Michigan alone!!! But knowing you, you'll figure out how to put a bottom in it! |
| 7th April 2009 Nita | How could you eat that beautiful pig!!!!! - From: Happy Easter Week and other stuff.... For once I have some news. My son and DIL from Denver paid a surprise visit. I went to Juli's Sat. a.m. supposedly to go to the twins baseball game and back to the house for a cookout....when I walked in the front door, Angie and Kevin are coming down the stairs!! For once in my life I was speechless...stood there like a doofus thinking who/what/where????? And the g'children all knew about it for at least a month and didn't give it away....now that was an accomplishment, at least for Sebastian (the blabbermouth!). Little Riley will be 1 yr. old the end of this month so we celebrated his birthday early. He is such a little doll, fat cheeks, big blue eyes and reddish-blonde curls. , It's going to be hard to return to Michigan, but you've always got next year to look forward to. Seems you've accomplished a lot to your home this year and it looks great. |
| 31st March 2009 Traci | What a trip!! - From: Guest entry by Bob and Joyce! Sounds like a wonderful vacation--except for the inbred Deliverance dogs! Oh, and the no flushing rule! Loved the guest blog entry! |
| 30th March 2009 Susie | WOW! - From: Guest entry by Bob and Joyce! Bob, beautiful pictures. The sunrise pic was magnificent. You, Kath, Mike and Joyce are very brave to travel the road to nowhere! LOL Quite an excursion. One that is definitely unforgettable. Love, Susie |
| 30th March 2009 Rose | - From: Guest entry by Bob and Joyce! What do you think, is Boberto and Joyce going to be tour guides for your "Little piece of Heaven"? It sounds like a blast and who doesn't like an adventure! |
| 29th March 2009 Nita | Once again I'm green with envy!!!!! - From: Guest entry by Bob and Joyce! All except for the dogs.....now that was downright scary! |
| 26th March 2009 nita | - From: On the Sea of Cortez Your life continues to be a blast! Your "home away from home" is so attractive, and I know you're having fun getting it the way you want, even though each project is an adventure of one kind or another. Weather here in Orange County, Ca. is gorgeous and I'm enjoying day trips to the various beaches to eat, drink and be merry. I'm very involved in theatre stuff, cast in the spring play so I've got some lines to learn. My son/daughter-in-law are pregnant again with twins due in October, so I know I'll be needed again....this time chasing after Riley, who will be 18 mo. Hope this tired old body can keep up!!!! Love reading about your life but wonder if the drug wars in Mexico are a worry to you in your location......hope not! |
