For some reason my web server would not allow me to connect and add to the blog the last couple of days.
Fortunately there was not a lot to report. Diane and I went to El Ranchito's Sunday market and got our supply of fruit and
veggis and also each bought a new pair of rubber sandals.
We saw a couple of fleas on the pups again so gave them another flea bath and will check them
again today. Eventually we'll get rid of them, it just takes perseverance.
The auto body guy is supposed to show up to day to work on the Jeep and I'll post about that later.
.. Well... a no-show for the auto-body guy... but this is Mexico so maybe he'll show up tomorrow. It's not
a big thing.

The auto body guy never showed up today. Not sure if he's busy somewhere else or just forgot I had some
work for him.
It was kind of busy today in the park with people moving in and out. About ten RVs left this morning.
All from British Columbia. They might have organized a caravan heading north. Before they left the park was full but
the empty spaces were more than half filled by late afternoon as about six new rigs showed up.. mostly from Quebec.
One new person came over to introduce himself and said he was surprised to find such a nice park in the middle of no where.

We spent a quiet day today. Just reading and playing on the computer. The wind hasn't been as strong
the last couple of days so we put up our awning screen after having it down for about a week. It helps block the direct sun
we get in the afternoon. Several more RVs showed up so the park is nearing capacity again.
Still no sign of the autobody repairman.
For supper we went up to the park restaurant and had BBQ'd hamburgers.
Feb. 19th
Another quiet day. We have (had) two table top fans in the motorhome, one one the desk and one in the bedroom.
The one in the bedroom quit so now we have to move the one we have left from room to room. I took it apart today to clean
the blades which get a little dirty.
We're kind of getting ready for our trip next week to visit Ken and Mary-Beth but because we'll only be
gone three or four days there's not much to pack.
We've been talking to another couple, in the park, Rick and Diane about our return trip
to Texas in March. They're from Ontario and plan on leaving Rancho B about the same time we are and stopping for a few days
at Villa Corona a park just ourside of Guadalajara. We plan on stopping at Villa Corona as well and meeting up with Fred and
Jenna for the trip home. If things work out, there'll be a little caravan of three leaving Villa Corona on March 15th heading
for Texas.

Fred and Sherry came back from Puerto Vallarta today. They spent the last two weeks with their children
at a time-share condo. They decided to leave for home a little early and plan on pulling out of Rancho B. on Sunday.
We won't see them next year as they will be getting their motorhome worked on during the winter. But if we pass by their place
in Arizona during the summer and they're there, we'll stop in and say hello on our way to California.
Our motorhome insurance is due for renewal the middle of March so part of the day was spent contacting the
insurance company. There's no cell service where we are so I had to resort to using Skype. Skype doesn't work well when
you need to go through a phone tree when contacting a business. But finally I was able to talk to someone who was able
to pull up my policy and take my credit card for the renewal. Now we're good for another year.
A bunch of us at the park went to town for tacos. We're going to miss those tacos when we go home.
Feb. 21st
We took the pups to the beach for the last time before we leave for our little trip to see Ken and Mary-Beth
on Monday. Driving the Jeep down to the beach and then having a couple of wet dogs full of sand jump in the back
and shake leaves kind of a mess so I was off to the auto bano (car wash) later in the day.
While in town I stopped at the ATM to stock up on pesos. They must have just filled it with cash as when
I tried yesterday, there was no more money in the machine.
I also filled up the Jeep with gas so tomorrow we don't have to do anything but pack our few items of clothes
and be ready to go early Monday morning.
As this was Fred and Sherry's last night at Rancho B. we all went to the park restaurant for Pizza. They'll
be leaving tomorrow morning heading for Lo De Marcos where they will meet up with two couples heading back to the U.S.
