An Easy Day

Today Cloyd and I left at 8 am to drive to Cabo San Lucas to get the oil changed and have the suburban washed, and finish up by going by the airport to pick up a friend coming down to build a small house down here, they live in Montana. It was a nice trip down and we continued with checking out which stores are the ones with the best deals for items needed and groceries.We think we know now. We have found out that since so many Gringos (yep, thats me!) have moved down here, and in the two Cabo's that the prices have went up a lot even in the Costco, Sam's Club, Wal-Mart etc. The only thing that we have found to be cheaper is housing and utilities. I have also learned in three weeks that we don't need as much as we thought to live happy and even comfortable, that if you are eating the tasty locally grown food that you get full faster, stay full longer and not get hungry as soon. Cloyd is still very happy with having his Seattle best coffee brewed at home with double stuff oreo cookies dipped, and only get a Mocha when we go to Cabo. Then perhaps one meal a day, all depending on the day. Now, if I can just find something to make me sleep at night, since I am out of my sleeping pills, that would even be nicer! The Pacific was beautiful as usual, no crowed beaches, white sand and the water the color of blue and green you just can't imagine, with the white caps of the crashing waves on the black rocks. Marcie is doing well in her new home, she was quite bored for a while as she is in a quiet area for the most part until the 4 dogs across the fence start barking and then she has to add her 2 cents. She did chase a cat out of her yard and then found that she could look through the decorative cinderblock fence to watch the going ons next door. The iguanas and geckos don't bother her any, so she is good. We have been looking for her some pup-a-roni sticks down here, but not found them yet, so it will go on the list for when we go to Cody for our stuff in March. She has also decided that she loves the chocolate pill pockets as long as you don't try to hid a pill in there!!
