Saturday Morning 5.07.11

Becky is off to her International Women's Club monthly meeting.. So it is just me and the dogs... Thought I would share some photos of what is going on here.
 Baseball game last night... Tigres lost in the 12 innings... 4 to 2
 One of the flowers in our yard. They are so beautiful, but they only last one day when they bloom. Fortunately, there is a new bloom almost everyday.
 Today we got two blooms in one day.

 This is our Haberno pepper plant... These are very HOT!! This plant keeps us supplied and the neighbors too!www.renatodorfman.com
 We have these plants that bloom almost continuously. We have three plants and they add color almost everyday. Right now they are losing the blooms, but there will be more to replace them. This plant is very thirsty... I try to drown it daily and the more water the more blooms.
 Her we have our orchard... Oranges on the left and Lemons on the right. They come in during the winter months and take forever to develop, but these little tress gave us two dozen oranges and about a dozen limes.. That is about what we eat a week .. But, the produce here is plentiful and cheap.. Flavorful too!
 Avocados haven't shown up yet, but we are told that we should have some this year...
 Our newest flowering bush... This is in our micro backyard and within the year will fill up the wall space with color.
 Coconuts are still  few years off, but it is growing..
 Sport is a mama's boy... But other than he can't keep his face clean, we still love him.. He is suppose to be white, but, we can't find a way to eliminate the brown discoloration on his face and front paws..
 Sissy is daddy;s girl... She is shy and very loving.. She hates Thursdays, she is afraid of the tile floor scrubber. She will try to go over the wall whenever it comes out..
 Sissy has always the saddest eyes... But, he is very loving. She is very partial to big dogs.. She wants to go play with all of the dogs in the neighborhood..
 The two are good friends and share everything... Sissy seems to be more aggressive and keeps Sport in line. Right behind her..
 Living room is small but it works for us.
 Here is one of our guest rooms should you want to visit..
This is the other one, where Becky does a little crafting and make up.. Bathrooms are small and she needs a little more room when getting ready to go.

We are enjoying life... Our days start at the Dreams Sports Club with a couple of hours of exercise and swimming.. We also have tennis courts there and squash courts.
We have been attending the local baseball games for the Quintana Roo Tigres, the local triple A team and enjoying the games.
We have played a few rounds of golf, but we haven't done that much.. There are some beautiful courses here and some far more challenging than we are up to.  We enjoy the smaller executive
courses... (Good for ole duffers that are not very good.

Becky is also taking a sculpting course from Renato Dorfman... She goes to Puerto Morelos each week on Tuesdays and Thursday and is really enjoying the class. He is very well known in these parts. Check out his work at www.renatodorfman.com ... He is a true artist and has made a good living and a name for himself down here... He has an artist village out in the jungle that is a hostel for artists... He calls them volunteers... They look like free spirited hippies to me...
His work really is good and Becky is really enjoying playing in the mud each week.
Well, that is the tale of the day...
Remember you are always welcome... Call us at (801) 738-1429 and give us your flight number... We will pick you up and you can stay with us..
Easy to pack for Cancun... Passport, bathing suit and toothbrush.. Everything else is here!
