FUN IN THE SUN AT CAPE SAN BLAS

OK, folks, it's back to the Dark Ages!! We don't have wireless here at the beach house, so the other day BJ and I took our laptops to the parking lot of a real estate office and got on. That's how I was able to post a message the other day. Then we remembered DIAL UP!! Why didn't I think of that before? Anyway, BJ can get it on hers; I can't because the week before I came down my computer got a virus and in order to fix it, we had to erase the hard drive and start over. AOL, my dial up connection, wasn't put back on. So I'm using hers to check mail, obits, etc.

I had forgotten the awful sound the dial up connection makes. AND the long waits between web addresses, etc. I remember I used to read a book while I was on the computer when we had it on dial up and would read while I waited for things to load. Ah well, it's amazing how it all comes back and how appreciative I am to have any connection to the outside world via the internet.

We are still having great weather here. Today there was not a cloud anywhere and the temp was supposed to reach 80 degrees. It was certainly hot here on the front deck, where I get my vitamin D. I stay here rather than go to the beach with BJ and Jerry because that way I can have Rufus with me. I just block off the opening to the steps with some upended chairs and he stays right on the porch with me or when he gets too hot, he goes inside and watches me.

As usual, he is having a ball on his vacation, but I'm sure he misses Jesse. Maybe next time I can manage both.

Actually, BJ and Jerry have acquired a little dog themselves: one that is half shihtzu and half pomeranian. The little feller was too young to make the trip (only 6 weeks) so he is staying with one of her daughters until she returns. So next year Rufus can play with Monty (short for Montana).

MA and Chun are coming down this Saturday, so we will have the whole family here. What fun we will have!!

I just hope we can behave and not be called down by the restaurant personel for being too loud like we were once in Vicksburg, MS!! THREE TIMES!
