I’m leaving for British Columbia, Canada in a few days and will stay until mid-October when it gets cold. Cluculz Lake is where my husband and I built a log-stick house in 1992. Of course we had help, but we were hands-on. If you’ve read my bio, you’ll know we sold that house and moved to our property across the …
Until 2019, I hadn’t made a new year’s resolution in 20 years. Every one of them (probably 35) ended badly, so I decided better to quit than to fail. Not that my life had no successes, I just expected bad stuff to happen, and sure enough, it did. April 12, 2017, at 10:30 am, I stood on a stool at …

In my Winter in Bucerias 2014/15 post I mentioned how incredible 2015 was. I’ve had many great times in my life, but never an entire year that stood out as 2015 did.

2015 was an incredible year. Unique in its uniqueness. With our two cats Marbles and Shasta in hand, we flew down to Mexico after Halloween. Hubby constructed a chicken wire fence around our casa to protect our cats the tiny little geckos from harm. Later, we welcomed the New Year at a poolside fiesta in Los Arroyos Verdes, a botanic garden compound east …

November 17’s post, you may remember I shared photos of the botanical gardens of Los Arroyos Verdes where we’ve rented a casa for the winter. I mentioned I was putting myself on a strict schedule and spending my time in writing mode. I was so certain once I became acclimatized, a routine would present itself and I’d finally finish my current WIP. It’s disheartening …
Today is day #17 of our winter hiatus in Bucerias, Nayarit. Is it my age or is it the change in climate that has me shaking my head as to how fast those seventeen days have passed? Doesn’t matter. I will gain momentum soon and begin a routine of writing and blogging and whatever else I promised myself I’d do …
I’m over at IWSG’s site today with the post: What’s Your Book About? Hope you can stop by and check it out. I know, I know. I haven’t written a writing related post in a very long time. Most of you already know we’re in Bucerias for the winter getting dental work done in between soaking up the sun. (-28C at …
