Keeping Busy





Unlike the Baileys and Frisons, we did not make it to midnight on New Year's Eve. The three of us [four if we count Maggie] were asleep by 10:00. We wore ourselves out by strolling on the beach and visiting with old friends.

The webcam was an adventure for us and especially for Maggie. I always knew she was an exhibitionist, but she took it to extremes yesterday. Fred's family was set to tune in at 11:00 and right on cue Maggie squatted and forced Fred to use his doggie bag. We had to shield her behind the Canadian flag we were waving for the camera.

The days leading up to New Year's Eve were filled with all kinds of adventures, ranging from visiting Guaymas, having lunch at Charly's Rock, touring the historic Cortez Hotel and finally saying "enough". A couple of us had to take a break to revive our bodies.

Two more sleeps and Eleanor and I return to the cold weather. We are taking the overnight bus from Guaymas to Tucson where we have a day room reserved so we can rest before catching the 3:00 flight to Denver. It will be a long 24 hours, but we are ready for the test.
