Big News Came with Santa

Happy Holidays to one and all.

It’s time for an update and I will make it in real time because there are real time things to say today. My dear darling daughter, Karlene, was surprised by Thaddeus on Christmas morning with a proposal and an engagement ring. She is thrilled and excited, as we all are. I’m so happy for the both of them and can’t wait to put my two cents in about their upcoming wedding. (just kidding Karlene).

We're still in Puerto Vallarta, having stayed much longer then we had planned because of me having sprained my foot. Of course Puerto Vallarta isn't a bad place to get stuck at. We have enjoyed our stay here, this our 3rd time here.

On Christmas we had a great time at a potluck out in Mezcales, with about 20 folks from different boats who are all docked in Nuevo Vallarta marina. We all got to play a few rounds of a game that's a cross between tennis and golf. I didn't do too badly, even playing with a handicap... it just might be my sport.

The food was good and plentiful, turkey, mashed potatoes and all the fixings.
