“…millions of U.S. citizens safely visit Mexico each year (including tens of thousands
who cross the land border daily for study, tourism or business and nearly one million U.S.
citizens who live in Mexico…”
The Storm
They were together in the House.
Just the two of them.
It was a cold, dark, stormy night. The storm had come quickly and
each time the thunder boomed he watched her jump.
She looked across the room and admired his strong
appearance…and
wished that he would take her in his
arms, comfort her and protect her from the storm.
Suddenly, with a pop, the power went out… She screamed…
He raced to the sofa where she was cowering.
He didn’t hesitate to pull her into his arms.
He knew this was a forbidden union and expected her to pull back.

Chuck’s Activities
Chuck’s activities can be summed up in a picture better than words… watch the video and see for yourself.
Susan’s Activities
Two months into my retirement and two months to go until until Chuck’s. My days are flying by. They are occupied with three occupations: getting fit, learning about starting up an online business and domestic tasks… you know, like shopping, cooking and sometimes even housework.
My personal health goal is to do at least one activity a day that contributes to a healthier and fitter body. To that end, Staci and I have signed up at the local gym and we are attending yoga classes, sometimes together, sometimes alone. I have also started to participate in a water aerobics class. I don’t always make one or the other but when I don’t, I do a session on the stationary bike in the living room and listen to my NLP (neurolinguistic programing ?…aka self hypnosis) recordings. No major changes but it is becoming easier to stick to the routines than it was when I began.
On the web I am having a blast! I have half dozen “blogs” going. My favorites are So Where To From Here, Cheaper Living Tips, Thinking About Losing Weight, and of course the Staci’s Fan Club. They all have growing traffic counts and I am starting to get inquires for other site owners and advertisers who think they are worth soliciting for ad space. Note… anytime you click through to a product or web site from one of my pages you add a few cents to my retirement travel fund and I thank you profusely for your contributions. So feel free to access Amazon, Amway or Google from my web sites!
Just for fun… Cross Your Eyes

You may or may not agree with me on this subject.
I must admit that my beliefs have been severely tested in the past when a woman I knew and cared about was faced with this choice. It is always harder when the subject affects someone close to you. I offer only my love and prayers for those who have in the past made this choice. I know they did not do so lightly without agonizing over the consequences.
I am posting this video not as a judgment on those who have chosen abortion in the past, but in hopes that it will help someone not make that chose in the future. There are other options.
If you know of someone in need of help finding another option, please feel free to write me at susan@fromthedeck.net. I am not personally involved in any group or organization related to this topic but I will do what I can to locate the help they need.
If you do agree, check out RedEnvelopeDay.Com.
It’s all a matter of perspective, isn’t it? Nick Vujicic is a man who can teach us all something. Thanks to my cousin Brian for sharing this video with me….
Now I share it with you.
Our first social adventure in San Felipe took place at Brian’s Beach Bar & Grill under the direction of Denny Flannigan, host of San Felipe’s famous Name That Tune competitions (in it’s third season). I must admit, both of us nearly passed on this event. Baja has turned us both into very lazy folks! Imagine, even the thought of going out and having fun sounded like too much work!
************
But in the end, we did drag ourselves out of the house after dark and made the nine mile drive to Playa del Oro and Brian’s. Arriving about 6:25 we found the place was already nearly full. Most folks seem to have come early for dinner. We opted for a table by ourselves, not ready to commit to playing the game. However, by the time the play had reached our side of the restaurant we had caught the bug and joined up with a nearby foursome who called themselves the Score Light team.
************
Team Score Light started off slow, tied for 5th at half time but Chuck shined when the song selections moved up to the 70′s and another teammate (Sharon?) was strong on the 80′s (she was young enough to have been there). We made a strong comeback in the second half and ended up in 3rd place! Our thanks to Jimmy, Mike, Sharon and Sandy (forgive if I messed up the names please) for letting us join in on the fun and their team.

I haven’t seen the pictures yet and I may regret mentioning the whole thing once I do, but honest, we had only two drinks a piece and Chuck never won the shots of Tequila on the face offs.
