Our first visitor!

My cousin Rhonda's coming down! She's taking the bus-to-Ajo adventure, and will be here at the end of the month. I sent her this:

We can't wait! The weather is getting nicer than ever- we had a pretty swift wind the last few days, which makes for a very dusty and sandy day. But it's died down, the humidity is normal, and the temps are around 30. The air conditioning hasn't been on for days!

Last night was my 'Uncommon Women on Common Ground' meeting, and it was a hoot! A great group of down-to-earth ladies, we painted a wall then had Cuban food and dancing. They are ex-nurses, dentists, seamstresses, business owners, real estate salespeople, authors, etc. and they've all lived here longer than me. The Cuban restaurant is very near here, I'll be going back there, it was delicious.

We got our papers on our house finally! A huge folder of papers, all embossed and stamped and official-looking. Now we can get the water bill in our name, and hopefully can get our FM3 visa.

I think I know where to get potting soil for the seeds Cheryl sent me. This should be exciting. How long do mint seeds take to grow? Because that's how long it is until my first mojito.

Our beach walks now take place at 9 AM, because it's not so hot as it was. The beach has been fairly empty the last couple of days. Today Shadow had an appreciative audience of a small Mexican family who applauded his leaps over the waves and dramatic swimming to reach his kong. He loves an audience!

I want to send out a big GET WELL to Pattie, along with an "Ouch!!". Take care, Pattie, talk to you soon.

Hey that's good news! The Scott Resort and Spa is officially open for business!

That Uncommon Women group sounds like a great way to meet people that have the answers to any of your questions about living in Puerto Peñasco.
