Spring break

For everyone with snow, I must apologize in advance. There will be references to temps in the 90′s, sun, blue skies etc, etc, blah, blah, blah.

We are in the midst of Spring Break, and the kids have been liberated from the nuns and priests (not your typical nuns and priests. The nuns are really sweet, and the priests are wonderful as well….my friend L is great friends with the priest, has customized her phone ring tones, and Father B is set to “Back in Black”) and we are traveling. Lots of miles, grandmas, rivers……blue skies, hot, hot, hot hiking, Enchanted Rock, cool water, vineyards……all with stories to come….and pictures as well.

I know that the content here has been quit dull. We have just had such a major change here. I liken it to how it feels when you fly into Mexico, and it seems that the fast paced life of the United States comes to a screeching halt and you are thrust into what Bill and I call “Mexico Time”. Noone is in a hurry to do anything. Siesta lasts 2 hours.

Life is just very casual now. I love seeing Bill in shorts and t-shirts all the time. He is just so much more relaxed and pleasant to be with. We can talk about his job with others and we can discuss with our friends things we had to keep to ourselves in the past due to where he worked. In other words, we don’t have to be in such a fish bowl. Our neglected house renovations are now back on track, and Bill is getting to spend some great one-on-one time with myself and the kids. In addition, he ordered some new tires for our mountain bikes, cleaned them up and we are looking forward to exploring the back, dirt roads of our town and beyond.

Never mind how great things are, it is still all very weird. I am trying very hard to break old habits (hint, hint, COMPUTER) and so as I have said, that is one reason for the limited posting.

Just as you must slow yourself down and try to sway with the slower pace in Mexico once your plane lands, we are taking a chill pill, grabbing a cold Tecate and finding our rythmn here in the land of KissOff 8-5.

So, grab a Tecate and a lime, kick your feet back and acclimate with us to Mexico Time. Listen carefully and you might just hear the palms swaying.
