Back from Mexico

Ok Ok, we are back, but I refuse to return mentally. I am just going thru the motions, of going thru the emails, mail, papers, suitcases, etc. Life goes on, but call me "Peter Pan', CAUSE i WON'T COME BACK AND GROW UP. Going to retain my vacation mode as long as possible.
Don't know if I will be getting Christmas cards out this yr, or doing the letter that I need to do, that goes in the cards. Might not have the annual Christmas Party we host each yr for the 100's, and might not put up much Christmas decorations. That might take some doing to accomplish any one of the items listed, and in order to accomplish them I'd have to come back mentally. Today I say noway, so by next week we will see how I feel.
Gosh while we were gone, one of our darling church members and friends died, and we missed the funeral too. Also our sister-in-law broke her hip and had surgery, and our sweet granddaughter Sadie Grace fell and broke her collar bone. Gary broke a toe, and Mercy (Gary's sister) is doing better after her fall that broke her neck vertebrae. My brother will be having surgery Dec 3 to resection his colon. Man, when it rains it pours.
Speaking of pouring, when we arrived in Mexico, hurricane Ida was still there, and delivering alot of rain for a couple days. But you know us, it was fun to play in the surf on the kayaks, even in the rain. I mean, come on, wet is wet, right ?
We did some snorkeling on a 45' catamaran, and Gary got to pilot the boat on the return trip. They were amazed he returned them to their mooring mark exactly on the money. But since he is so good at GPS, he felt it was nothing. Had lots of fun with those guys, and for lunch they feed us all steak and lobster on the grill. Yummy.
The rooms were great, the beach was wonderful, the help was great, and the food was good. Lots of good friends, since 44 of us traveled down there together. Of course we always make alot of new friends also on each of these trips.
Came back home to semi cold today, 40's and windy and heavy overcast. Tomorrow possible snow. Go figure. But it is that time of yr.
As everyone knows, I love rain, and it rained at least once a day every day we were in Mexico, but just short rains the last 5 days. We loved it!
I'll include pics, and more details as I think of them. Remember, I am in vacation mentality right now, and wouldn't want to strain something trying to remember all we did this past week.
God was so good to provide this trip for us, and our safety in travel and while there.
Luv BJ & Gary
