Thanksgiving at Mom’s


It was a pretty good trip. The motel was real cool about letting the dogs stay in the room with us and we all had a real good time on the beach. We put clean dog blankets over the beds so they didn’t get dog hair on everything. La Fea did not like the fireworks, a bunch of kids had a fistful of boomers outside our room last night, but the other dogs didn’t mind. I had not noticed Fay being upset by booms before, but this time she just wanted to stay in the room while they were going off. So OK.
It was nice getting up in the morning and having the beach right there. We left out of here around four or four thirty Wed. afternoon, and by the time we got our travel insurance and a snack at Gila Bend, we got there about nine or nine thirty and walked the dogs on the beach a little. We have been working pretty hard, so it was nice to go to bed early. The wind was howling through the windows, I checked them out and it looks like they were installed incorrectly, we stuffed the curtains around the corners and it helped a little, but inside the room it sounded like a gale force wind was going on. Outside, not so much, just kind of a stiff breeze and warm. The people next door checked in Thanksgiving day and said it rained like hell in phoenix just before they came, they almost called off their trip, but it was calm ans sunny at the beach, they were really glad they came on down.
I forgot the camera.
On the way back we took the dogs for a nice long walk at the Ajo wash, but apparently it didn’t rain much there, because we didn’t find any puddles.



motel on the beach


we decided to book a room. I have a favorite, you park in the back, there’s a door in, and then on the other side of the room is a door right out to the beach! We got it for only $88.00 per night. And this is considered ‘in season’. It’s kind of a waste because it has two queen beds and a kitchenette and there is only the two of us and we won’t be cooking, but I love that room. There are three or four of these rooms in a row, they are next to the Pithaya bar. Each of them has a little table and chairs under a palm frond palapa. Great spot for morning coffee.
So we don’t have to buy a camper. I did not relish the thought of kicking Mom out of her bed, and she gets up and around at four every morning anyway, with all the smokers cough, etc. So this way we each have our own space.
The dogs will have to stay in the truck, but they won’t mind, there is beach right there.
Now I’m getting excited.



Mary, get your ‘puter up and running!





I went to Mexico the other day with my gal pal Pam, and visited the little old ladies in my life.
I stayed with Mom, and got to visit with Mary twice.
Mary just had her 93 rd birthday… YOU GO GIRL!!
Her parties are pretty wild, so I hated to miss this one, just didn’t have time to go to Rocky Point. But she had the big party; rented the hall, and had the band, the keg, the food, and everything.
I got some pics of Mary, Pam, Mom, etc, See if you can tell who’s who.
