December 23, 2007

Once upon a time, many years 
ago, I was asked by my friend Butch what on earth Ken and I do with ourselves at the farm every weekend.  My quick response was that was the whole point, that we did not have to do anything.  Of course that is not the real answer.  The fact is that every place we live very quickly develops a rhythm of its own  and the days break up into several and distinct activities.

The activities are all selected by us.  Nothing comes in the door.  So here in Nuevo Vallarta the rhythm of our days and weeks are already well established.  We read for a couple of hours every morning after breakfast, followed either by a trip to the gym  to work out with the machines, or to take a walk.  Lunch is my favorite meal to eat out, so we mostly find a lovely spot by the water at a very nice restaurant where we eat lunch. Mid afternoon we read by the pool or the beach, or chat with some nice folks who we have met here.  We just kind of pick up something from our kitchen to eat at the evening meal.  It is a great blessing to have our own kitchen and laundry room, tho even tho we do not cook, we just kind or arrange the food that we have purchased at the local market. 

The computer is a great source of information to Ken, also wonderful to contact our families via the email and cell phone.  The evening is full of reading and writing.  So our days are full and happy.  Soon David and Suzanne, Sarah, Abigail, Allison and Samantha will arrive Dec.28 and then our days will be full and overflowing indeed.
