A Septuagenarian in Cabo

Tonight there is a breeze coming off the ocean which is wonderful.  Everyone says the heat wave is now over and we will have perfect weather for the next 9 months.When it rains here it smells like sandalwood and in a breeze I can smell flowers.   I just got back from swimming in the pool. Today only  Jose came to work on an electrical plug and hang my drapery rod.  Tomorrow the guys come to put in the base cabinets.  I think I enjoy having so many interesting men here, they all have a little English and I a little Spanish so there have been a lot of laughs as we try to communicate. I am so lucky to have always had such good people as friends wherever I have moved.  And they stay friends long after I've moved away.  It's happening here too. I wonder why all these nice people cannot run the world.  I am just praying Trump loses but I'm afraid no one has changed their minds from the last vote.  And yet kind people are going out of their way...

 I can't believe how busy this week has been, it's Sunday again and I've not blogged a word!  I guess it will be Sunday blogging.   I love Jose!  His crew has been amazing.  They spent one long day masking everything and then the next three painting with such perfection!  I love the color walls and having new fresh white walls makes it look so clean and updated.  Kathie Stone, you would be proud, I have a green entry, orange living room and turquoise and white bedroom.  Not ready for pictures yet... I have had a lot of fun with my neighbors at the pool.  We all kind of meander to the pool and I exercise while talking.  As I was telling them that it all would be perfect if only I had a pool boy with a virgin pina colada,  Roger jumps up and says "Let me make it perfect."  So in about 15 minutes he comes back with several pina coladas for all of us and he is wearing a hat that says "Pool Boy, Mira Vista"  Ok, I am pinch...

It's Sunday, October 18, 2020 I've been here for two weeks! First calm day, no contractors, cleaning people and I have no car. Loving it! I listened to the Tabernacle Choir and did a Church lesson on my own since there is no Church while we are in Covid lockdown. Looking at the ocean and watching the waves is a blessing! I'm really missing Chris, because all of our vacations here for 14 years were so much fun.  Here's the recap. Monday October 5, Can't believe I am actually here. Dana has been busy getting me signed up for everything and cleaned my apartment! It is 90 degrees and 70% humidity...I meet wonderful Sergio Cota who is going to be my amigo nuevo. He is the gardener here. He's been moving furniture for me and taking out boxes and stuff I don't want. He even lets me practice my Spanish. Dana calls Rosa Marquez who energetically in this heat moves furniture and cleans out the cupboards. It's so hot that I just sit in a melted puddle smilin...
