Moving?

This morning Bill spotted a whale out in the bay. I grabbed my camera and got the money shot! Well I thought it was centered. The whale stayed in the bay along time but we never got to see it fluke again.
Use your imagination!

After Bill and Teri leave at 2:00 PM, Linda and I will hook up the trailer and move to our new location at the lot near the laguna. I think we have a lead on wifi, but we may not be able to access the internet as often once we make our move.  I will post photos of the lot and keep you up to date on how we set up our new home.

A Last Night

Preparing the luminary for flight. 
The weather finally took a turn for the better and everyone's mood picked up.  We stayed at the house and dozed in the sun Teri and Bill trying hard to get a little bit of a sun line before they return to beautiful cold Idaho.

Wishes and possible dreams!
We walked down to Bigotes and had drinks, the bar was very busy, the sunset was nice and we had a cool place to relax.  After that we walked back to eat at Esmeralda's (formerly Ava's). They sat us in a nice spot and promised that our meal would be a good one.  Bill and I had chiles rellenos and the ladies had quesadilla. All the meals were great!  My chiles relleno was huge and had a wonderful flavor.  It turned out to be one of our better meals and we let the owner know that we were very pleased.

Bill helps it take flight.
We walked back to the house under a striking new moon.  We had been given a luminary by a family who had sent several into the sky on New Years eve.  So as I took pictures the everyone else worked to get the luminary lit and ready to send skyward. We all made wishes to send to the sky and when the hot air took control of the globe it rose up and over the ocean. Everyone watched until it flickered out and then wondered where it would end it's journey with our wishes.

The luminary  flies beneath the moon.

First Day

Nappy New Year everyone!  Yep, it's real quiet around here after the new year.  We didn't do a lot on New Years Eve.  Kobi was on doggie downers and in his own world and we fixed dinner at home and then listened to the war of fireworks around town.  We didn't over party, but we also could not sleep very well. Thus the Nappy New Year!

Linda edited my last post and said it was a bit dark in content.  I guess I was feeling a bit down due to the rain.  Today is warmer but still threatening rain. Sorry if I wrote a downer.

We have heard from many of our friends and have enjoyed every message.  After today we will move the camper over to the Pink house and proceed to repack the items we have been using here.  Then on the 3rd we will move into the lot and set up our home. The Big Adventure will continue.

Below you will find the video of the making of Linda's Day of the Dead mask.  Remember this was Teri Burch's attempt to introduce Linda to a hobby. I helped a bit but not that much.

Hope you enjoy it!
