November 16, Almost Done

 I am so close to being done and this condo is beautiful.  It is so comfortable that in this perfect weather I find myself dozing off, especially after a swim.  Honestly, I would have never accomplished anything in my life if I lived here all the time.  It is like being in a warm bath with big Turkish towels to wrap yourself in and then falling asleep in a down blanket while listening to ocean waves.

Speaking of sleep, I am getting used to a twin bed.  After a king, this is funny, I have almost rolled off the bed many times. But now I have an extra bed for friends and family who can visit after COVID is over.  I also have a sofa bed!

Here are the pictures I promised for the condo.  I still have to put my rug down and the dishwasher and washer and dryer are coming in a week I am told.

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...

First days

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...

A New Painting

 I realize I haven't posted since November, but when you are  living in Paradise, it is hard to wrench yourself away from the ocean or pool and sunshine !  This has got to be what being in Heaven is like.  Not only that, but I'm feeling the "Tender Mercies" happen.  I've been fretting about a car.  I actually bought one that I didn't feel really comfortable with, but because it had Mexican plates I couldn't register it so the man gave me my money back.  I wanted to have the car in time for Kim and Steve and Savannah coming for Christmas.  Then out of the blue, my friend at Church, Sherri Galbraith posted her minivan for sale at my price!  She had no idea I wanted a car.  And she needed to sell the car as she is leaving for 6 months to take care of her parents who both have COVID and her 82 year old dad also has Parkinsons.  A blessing for both of us!  So she came up and I drove the car.  She's going to take it to have a fe...
