Lone Ranger's Blog: Life at a Turtles Pace

Had to tell this fellow where the ocean is.

Most days we are no faster in our lives than these baby turtles. We move slowly from one activity to another with a siesta in between for good measure. Most days the big question is, "What's for dinner?" The answer most days is, some kind of Mexican food. After five years we continue to discover new dishes to eat.

Dinner for two. Adobada tacos. Cost about $7.00.

Yesterday we went on a road trip to Mesillias which is a furniture manufacturing town in the foothills of the Sierra Madre mountains. We have been replacing most of our living room furniture after 9 years of owning our home here in Mazatlan. It is an interesting drive that ends in the middle of nowhere and has about a dozen furniture factories and large showrooms of high end furniture. The craftsmanship is excellent and it all reminds me of nice European furniture.

Eva approved couch.

We have a new couch, loveseat and two new end tables with new lamps. I'm still missing our bright red furniture but Terri said it was time for a change. Also if you are observant you will notice that one large piece of blown glass is missing from the wall. We had one crash and break into a million pieces this summer while we were gone. The good news is that it is time for another road trip to Guadalajara for more blown glass.

November is always a month full of visitors for us. This year there have been 17 family and friends here in town. We have a one week break and then our daughter and son-in-law come to our condo for 4 weeks. We also have two friends coming in on a cruise ship for a days visit. Busy, busy.
