Me and You and a Dog Named Boo: Pneumonia, Zoias and Weiners

Well, the night before Patty left for Boulder, I could feel a bad head cold coming on. I did all the right things: got plenty of rest, drank lots of liquids, took my vitamin C and D and didn't go anywhere. Many were advising that I go to the doctor, but I kept thinking it would go away. Finally, after almost two weeks of this, I went to the doctor and got the auspicious diagnosis of Strep Pneumonia. I got an inhaler and some antibiotics but continued to cough and continued to be exhausted, so went back to the doc, who ordered me another round of a different kind of antibiotic. I was pretty cured by the time Susan and David arrived on March 1st but I missed a whole lot of fun events in the process.

This is the view from my bedroom-not a
bad place to be sick!!

The couch by the cactus garden-not a bad place to be either!

Nor our gigantic bathtub

Once I was a little better, we enjoyed our wonderful views......

Managed a dinner out with friends to celebrate birthdays......

Did some bird watching on my own.....

This is a melodious black oriole

And went out for a romp at the Soggy Peso, where Boo made a new friend.....

I had the ladies over for painting.....

This is Beth. I bought the painting on the left which is our view.

David and Susan arrived on Wednesday afternoon. We got them settled in at Joe and Margene's house, which they are renting for the month, then had them up here for chili rellenos. Next day, we walked to Tomate Beach.

One of us slid her way into the ocean.

The tide pools were fascinating today: sea cucumbers, anemones, hermit crabs and lots of little critters we couldn't identify. We even found a few dead star fish on the way out.

Loved this one, shaped like a heart

Lots of laughs!!!

Susan and David's friends, the Weiners, came to visit them and we went down to the Captain's Club to dance with Omar and the Latin Band. There was a gorgeous pink and lavender lit sky that night!

We went to bed early and then got up the next day and prepared for a day at the beach. I wonder how long this wonderful privacy will last, as La Salsa and Bonifacio's have been forced to close their places on Algodones Beach and the word is that they are moving here.

We had a great kayaking trip from "Margene's tree" at the Beach Club.

And an afternoon of fun listening to 6 1/2 Mexicans. Took us about an hour to get our la cuenta!

We all had to have cowboy hats!

Afterwards, we finally got everyone out to the Soggy Peso for a teeny dinner of shrimp quesadillas.

Sunrise this day was to die for, once again!

We decided to take the Hattie Annie out for a cruise-it was cold and windy but we had a fabulous time, fueled by more than a few margaritas! Araceli and Steve do such a wonderful job of making every cruise a great occasion!
