Decorating our Maz condo for Christmas

We still have a few Christmas decorations here at our condo in Mazatlan. Most of them we took back to our Yakima condo. So we thought we'd put up what we had. It was fun to help get us in the Christmas spirit. Enjoy!


We're so happy to have a few of our grandchildren's sweet faces to look at during Christmas this year. We miss all of them so much. This is Christmas gift given to us by our children just before we left for Mazatlan.

Just couldn't get the lighting right on this photo. But this is our terrace all lite up with Santa.

Greg enjoys making Santa Claus wave at all the children on the malecon and they always wave back.

There are poinsettias for sale everywhere in Maz. You know it is the flower of Mexico.
Another shot of our 8 foot Santa Claus.
These are the only snowflakes we'll be seeing this Christmas.

Aren't they sooooo beautiful!

Each and every snowflake is different. Just like these my sister Deannie and her husband Scott gave to us as a Christmas gift just before we left Yakima. They are so beautiful and it helps to have a little of home down here with us at Christmastime.

This is how they are displayed on our shelf. Much prettier than this photo shows.

This is the Christmas tree at the Gran Plaza Mall here in Mazatlan. Muy bonita!!

Mazatlan's baseball team

Image
The past two evenings have been pretty noisey here on the malecon. Night before last, about sunset, the horns began to honk and flags were flying out windows of cars, pulmonias, etc. with lots of yelling and screaming in pure exhalation! Turns out the Venados (Deer), Mazatlan's baseball team, won their game against Los Mochis (a town about 2 hours north of Maz) which makes them the champions of the Mexican Pacific League. This puts them in the Caribbean Series which starts next month. Their first games of the series will be February 2nd against Venezuela and Puerto Rico in Mexicali, Baja, California. Here is a link to more information on the Series. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/winterleagues/?league=cs Everyone was sooooooo excited and the horn honking went on way past midnight. Then, last evening we had a parade that started down the malecon just after sunset to honor the Venados. Here's a short video clip of part of the parade. It's kind of dark but if you increase yo...

Aroma Spa experience

Image
Today we went in search of massage spas here in Maz. We found an Aroma spa in El Centro (Old Mazatlan) just a block from the Plazuela Machado. It was quite different from any spa I have been to but thought what the heck and we both made appointments for 1 hour, full body massages. The price was quite reasonable $150 pesos each. (That's $15 US). The place is named "Aroma Spa" but the only scent we detected was in the air when you entered the spa. Sort of a pepperminty aroma. The spa rooms (air conditioned) were very interesting with tree trunks from floor to ceiling, draped with fabric and ribbon and strange things hanging from the ceiling. I tried to take a few photos but the spa rooms were quite small so they didn't turn out very well. Hopefully, you can get an idea of the decor. The photo with Greg in it is where they give manicures and pedicures (no air conditioning). Don't think I'll be going there for that. All in all, the experience was not too bad and...

Update on what we have been doing.....

Well thought it was time we posted something about our recent adventures. Since the last posting, everything is still going well with the development of Baby J. The 2nd ultrasound is scheduled for March 26th. Maybe the picture they get this time will be a little clearer. We look forward to seeing the photo. Kristi is feeling better with more energy and they can feel the movement of Baby J now. So that is very exciting for Josh and Kristi. We got news this month that my sister, Deannie, in Yakima has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She has undergone surgery to remove the tumor and lymph nodes and feel confident they got all of the cancer cells. There were none found in the lymph nodes. There is still another test they have to run before Chemo is ruled out. At this date, when she heals from the surgery, she will go through radiation and will be taking a anti-estrogen medication. Deannie has a bright and positive attitude about this and is determined to beat it. With all our positive t...
