Since my friend was at a loose end this fathers day, we decided that we would take his small boat for a short trip around the lake..
Shortly after this picture was taken he put those oars to good use due to a shortage of gas in the tank. I bet next time he fills it ALL THE WAY UP.

Fri, 08 Jun 2012 20:28:00 -0700 Irish Fest. Update http://slomvr.posterous.com/irish-fest-update http://slomvr.posterous.com/irish-fest-update

Tonight was the first night of the Irish Fest. and the weather could not have been better. Everyone was out for an evening of fun, food and music. The bonsai exhibition had a large number of visitors walking through and asking many questions "YES, they are real", "Yes, they do stay out in the winter and loose their leaves", NO !, you can not buy one"

A full set of pictures has been posted to my online album at www.bit.ly/Kq5iM9

As a reference, the white cards near each tree are approx. 3" square.

Starting Friday we are off on another adventure. We are going on a short visit to Mexico. The timeshare company was offering special rates this fall, so who are we to turn down a good deal.

My step-daughter (Marcie) and her husband (Derek) will be joining us the first week, I let you know only because I don't need and questions of who the blonde bomb is. Marti will be there to keep me in line.

Posts will be made to "www.goplaya.com" but will link to facebook and twitter also.

It looks like it is going to be another busy fall, winter and spring ( Mexico-Europe-Mexico-France). Who would like to adopt me and keep me in the manner to which I have been accustomed?

Fri, 21 Jan 2011 06:29:00 -0800 Last Day http://slomvr.posterous.com/last-day http://slomvr.posterous.com/last-day

Well it's about time, with snow on the ground and the highways a mess it'stime for us to go south.

We are off this evening for an overnight near the airport so we don't have to get up so early.

By noon tomorrow we will be on the beach - that's warm white sand as opposed to cold wet snow

SEE YOU IN A MONTH

Well, after this week it can snow all it wants, it will be fun in the

sun for us for a month.

 

The first week we are at the Mayan Palace with it's 5 acre pool,

no it's not crowded , how could it be.

Mayan_palace

 

After that we are moving a few miles south, right into Playa del Carmen

to the Encanto El Faro.

El_faro

A small little boutique resort right on the beach. How much better could it get ?  FREE, I guess would be better, but we can't complain. The picture was taken from our balcony last year. Small pool, but loks of beach and the ocean

 

Keep watching, once we get there post will be at FB and http://www.goplaya.posterous.com
