Need Another Vacation !

I have been back in the US for 2 weeks now. I need another vacation to recuperate from my trip to Mexico.....Today was actually the first day that I have had to just relax, but what have I done today?? Vacuum, dust and laundry. After I finish this post, I am going to sit down and watch a movie and knit. I've been looking forward to watching "The Good Shepherd" with Matt Damon and Robert DeNiro.

I have a new addition to my little family. Take a look see





I've been thinking about naming her Zoe or Dharma Sue....What do you all think? I am terrible about naming pets. If anyone of you out there have any other ideas, just send me a comment.

Here is one pair of the socks that I am working on. They are the "Seize DiamondBack" from YarnBallBoogie.com. I'm using yarn from Kindred Spirits.






I finished these in time to wear them on the plane when I went to Mexico. They are just a basic basketweave pattern using Trekking XXL #100.

Life in Paradise with a Traveling Owl

Here I am on the way to Paradise. This was my first trip to Mexico, although Lisa and Michael have been there before. This was the first time they ever took me with them...Go Figure!

This is cool! I've never flown this way before. I'm used to doing all the work. This is going to be a real vacation.




I have arrived.....whoo hoo! Palm Trees, Sandy Beaches, what else could an Owl want?



Well, there could be one other thing! TEQUILA !!!!


Mmmmmm! Paradise.....






Where's my Cabana Boy ?? I want my drink in a Big Pineapple with an umbrella served by a cute Cabana Boy



Michael and Lisa took me to the Malecon' in Puerto Vallarta. We stopped in Hooter's. I thought I might run into some of my buddies.....yeah right! I was in for a big surprise. I did not see any other owl's. What I did see was a bunch of girls in tight tank tops and short (and I mean short) orange "Daisy Duke's"....Boy, was I disappointed......



I did make one aquaintance...Meet Lupita. She is going to go live with Lisa's granddaughter Chloe.


I also got to go on a boat ride through the canals of Nuevo Vallarta. We got a tour of the expensive homes and I also saw some wild life: Croccodiles, Pelicans, Crabs and a bunch of Iguanas. The Iguanas run around down here like the squirrels do back home.....
Wait til you see the one I met at the pool...



What a night!!!! urgh!! REMEMBER....What happens in Mexico stays in Mexico......


Just a little hung over!


Vacation in Paradise is over.....



Here we are back at SeaTac.........Back to reality.


Next Las Vegas!!!!

Well here I am ready and waiting to get the hell out of "Dodge". Lisa is still packing....hmmm! Got my Tequila and can't wait to get started. Stay tuned for more on my adventures in Marguerita Ville.

Viva Marguerita Ville

Look where I found Hedwig! Under the palm tree in my dining room. I've been looking all over for her. She's got her bags packed and can't wait to go on vacation in Puerto Vallarta. She is accompanying me and my DB. As you can see she thinks we're leaving now, even though we're not leaving for two weeks. What am I going to do with her. Stay tuned for more on Hedwig's escapades in Mexico.

Paris in the Spring

I so love Paris and dream of visiting again sometime......It's been 25 years since I was there. Ahh, the music, the food, the lights and of course, the Eiffel Tower. What could be more perfect, I ask you.
