I know, I know…
The handkerchief plant is even blooming now! I haven’t been blogging very frequently lately. I think the enthusiasm for writing ebbs and flows, right now I have been spending more of my energy doing other things – knitting, reading, helping a friend with a new business, and getting back into the swing of wintertime social and cultural events. I am not working any more (at least for pay!) but Paul is – mo

You need to be flexible…
In order to live happily in Mexico, I believe you need to be flexible. Can’t find sage when you want to make Thanksgiving stuffing? Buy Hierbas Finas and make do. Can’t find lemons? Use lime, or orange, or grapefruit, and discover how good and different it is. Can’t find peanut butter that you like? Grind your own or use Nutella. Can’t find clothing that suits your figure? Hav

Back from the big manzana
I am back from a long weekend with my son and his family in Mexico City. Of course it was wonderful to see them. I arrived Friday morning and spent the morning drinking coffee and playing with Consuelo along with my daughter in law Martha and her mother. I hadn’t seen her mother in about five years or so – I think the last time we saw her we visited her in Colima while we were exploring places to live in Mexico. Back then we could barely communicate so I was pleased to be able to communicate well enough in Spanish this time that we were able to catch up a bit. When Adam got home from work (he was taking a

Cruisers are in town
Mazatlán is a multi-faceted town. We have a huge shrimp fleet. We are the home of Pacifico Beer, Café Marino and Coppel. But tourism is a large part of what sustains the town, and part of those tourists are visitors from cruise ships that visit the port. Usually on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday there are cruise ships in town. This month there are 24 cruise ships expected. That’s great, because for every cruise ship of 3,500 passengers, approximately

Nana’s on her way…
It seems to me that Halloween is catching on here in Mexico, but that doesn’t mean that Day of the Dead is taking a lower profile. Kids walked around Centro in costume but they basically called out “Halloween” here and there, not really expecting candy. I think if anything it is another day to wear a costume an have parties, and that makes for a popular day for kids. All the blogs here in Mexico seem to hav
