We captured this view of Lake Chapala on the Malecon in Chapala, just as
the sun was sinking into the horizon. |
Kay, friends from MN, was one half of
the birthday party. For some reason, none of the pictures we took of Ron, the
other half, came out. Happy Birthday all! |

Villa Infantil is an orphanage that relies on the generosity of Mexicans and
Foreigners to help about 35 abused and abandoned children. We
attended a fundraiser where the kids performed the Dance of the Old Men. |
Some children find adoptive homes but
most spend their entire childhood under the caring eyes and loving hearts of
these Sisters of Our Lady of Guadalupe located on the south shore of Lake
Chapala. |

Off to California to celebrate more birthdays. Carmen turned 49 and
Mike turned 51 making them 100 years old. Glorine created this cute birthday
card for them. |
Hunter turned nine and look what his
dad got him while on a trip to Kentucky. A Louisville Slugger baseball
bat, a sport that Hunter is starting to take up. |

His birthday party day lasted most of the day, starting off with his
favorite breakfast--pancakes and sausage. |
The big party was at the Sky Zone
Trampoline Park, where we played dodge ball and Ninja Warrior. |
 |
 |
|
Family and school friends took a break from the fun to chaw down some
pizza and birthday cake. |
As traditions would have it, Hunter
had breakfast in bed with family and dogs while opening birthday presents. |

Back to Ajijic and a new event Glorine started, simply called Women's
Luncheon. An opportunity to spend time sharing good food with 25 to 30 good
friends. |
One evening we got together at Viva
Mexico to welcome Phil (far right) back, after a three year leave following the
death of wife, Mary a few years ago. |

We visited with Agustine, owner of Viva Mexico and a noted philanthropist
who works tirelessly to serve those less fortunate in his town of San Juan
Cosola. |
People give in different ways, like
this couple who opened their spectacular home to the Behind the Wall Home Tour
that raises funds for handicapped children. |

|
Just for fun with friends Ross and Carol (right), we got reacquainted with
Greg and Carrie, starting with dinner at an awesome seafood restaurant
followed by a show. |
The show was this six piece band
called Us Two that swept us away with their renditions of some of the most
popular songs of the 70s and 80s. Fun, Fun, Fun! |
