We all left for Algodones about 9:30am. We arrived and the parking lot was packed so we were figuring it would be a long day after our appointments to get back across the boarder.
Jan, Judy and I decided to shop while Ken and Larry went to pick up Larry's glasses that he ordered two weeks ago. We gals started looking for Mexican soap that is used for stains on clothing. We went to several small grocery stores but the ones we were finding were not the same that we had bought before. Judy remembered the name of the one we had before and asked one of the clerks if they carried it. She told us they quit making that brand and showed us the one to buy. I bought 3 bars so I had enough to give each of my girls. It is wonderful for rubbing on stains to remove before laundry. Larry has a stain on every shirt he owns and nothing I use seems to remove them.
We looked at several other items and Jan bought a purse and we found a nice tablecloth for their kitchen table but the gal would not bargain with us. We walked around but did not find another the right size anyplace else. We finally gave up and walked over to the Periodontist's office for Jan's cleaning appointment. When we got to Dr. Garcia's office, Larry and Ken were there and they had already called Ken in for his cleaning. Larry asked the office girl if the doctor had time to clean his teeth as well and she said they could work him in after Jan's appointment. I also need a cleaning but will have to wait until my bridge and crown are finished. While Jan was in for her appointment, Judy and I walked over to Dr. Juan's for my appointment. I waited for about 30 minutes before they called me in. Before I went in for appointment, Jan, Ken and Larry came, Jan stayed with Judy to wait for me to finish and Ken and Larry went to drink beer.
It took forever for Dr. Juan to fit my new bridge. It had to be adjusted several times and by the time he had it fit, I told him I would make another appointment to have my final crown prepared. All I wanted to do was get out of there after spending so much time. Dr. Castro came in 2 times to Dr. Juan's operatory to talk with me. About 2 weeks ago I talked to her for the first time in about 2 years and I told her I could never arrange my appointments with her anymore so I had been seeing Dr. Juan. She told me she would see me if I wanted and I said I was very happy with Dr. Juan but I just missed saying hello to her occasionally. So for the past 2 appointments with Dr. Juan she had come in to give me a hug and a kiss on the cheek and she also has picked up Dr. Juan's instruments and looked at the work he is doing. She is such a sweet woman but after her second visit yesterday, I figured Dr. Juan was wondering what was up. Before I left his office yesterday, I told him that I hoped he did not think I had asked Dr. Castro to check up on his work and explained what was said between us previously. I told him I think she misunderstood what I meant by never seeing her when I came in and that I wanted him to know how happy I was with his dental work. He laughed and shrugged his shoulders like 'who knows'. He DOES work for Dr. Castro but I'm not sure what is on her mind by coming in each time other than just to give me a hug, which is her normal personality.
I finally finished with appointment and made another appointment for next Wednesday to have my crown prepared. When Jan had her teeth cleaned, Dr. Garcia told her she had a crown that was leaking and she should have it looked at. She checked with Dr. Castro's office and they said they would see her at 4:00. The 3 of us walked over to El Gourmet to meet Ken and Larry. They had sat in the area that is served by Mr. Grouch. He is the other waiter besides Jose and he has no people skills and is always a jerk when he waits on us. I told Larry he should have sat on Jose's side but the place was packed and really was not room for the 5 of us on Jose's side anyway. We ordered drinks when we got there and the next time we ordered, Jose had made arrangements with the other waiter to take over the service for our table. Jose is the one that Larry thinks has his eye on me. HA! I think he just likes to wait on us because we tip well and I tease him constantly. He is always a very cheerful guy. Brenda the dancing waitress came over and talked several times and then brought her phone to show me a picture of her little girl.
We left to go back to Dr. Castro's for Jan's appointment. After the doctor checked the tooth she told Jan she needed a root canal. They made an appointment with Dr. Garza and another one for her to come back on Friday. Judy told me to go ahead and try to get myself an appointment with Dr. Juan for Friday and the 3 of us could come back Friday. I got an appointment at 3:00 Friday and then we all walked over to Dr. Garza's for Jan's Root Canal. She did not finish until 5:15. We stopped for a pain perscription and headed for boarder. We walked right through the boarder without a wait and arrived home at 6:30. What a very long day.

Tuesday February 26 2013
Got everything ready to take motor home for service. I gathered up the cats, litter box and their food and drove them down to the Jackson's. They all acted so thrilled to have them there! We'll see how they feel by the time we pick them up. When I picked up Raven to take him in to the house he was growling and threatening to tear my arm off. I put him inside and he jumped up on a chair with his back to everyone and every time anyone touched him he would spit and growl. When I took Tucker inside he immediately crawled under a recliner and wanted nothing to do with us.
I told them all good luck and left to pick Larry up at LaMesa after he dropped the motor home off. We went to Cracker Barrel for a late breakfast and then shopped around the mall to kill time. We looked for some roll out inserts to put in the bottom cabinet in kitchen as it is so deep it is hard to get to the items in the back. We found Lowe's had several sizes so will have to measure our space to decide if they will work.
The service on the RV was completed around 2:00 so we picked it up and brought it back to the resort. Ken came down to help Larry back the motor home into our site. I went up to retrieve cats from Jan and Judy. Jan was so thrilled about her day with the cats I couldn't believe. She had several stories to tell about Raven and she sent me an email with pictures of Raven in their cactus garden. She said he even tried to eat one of the cactus--ouch--hope he didn't eat a lot of it or he will be sorry the next trip he makes to the litter box!!
Brought the cats back to the motor home and got set up again. I read for awhile and Jan, Judy and Ken came down for 'happy hour' again. We have so much fun talking with them. Judy is a crazy lady and keeps us all laughing.
We grilled pork chops and salmon for dinner. I fixed a salad and a potato and had a great dinner.
Tomorrow we have dental appointments in Los Algodones. Jan and Ken have an appointment with our Periodontist for cleanings as well so Jan, Judy and Ken will be going with us.

Yesterday was laundry day! UGH! Seems it comes earlier every week. Spent most of the day with laundry and cleaning.
Today we drove into Yuma to run errands and pick up groceries. We were gone most of the day. Leslie called when we got home and we talked for awhile. Ken, Judy and Jan came down for 'happy hour' and it was so cool we all sat inside to visit. The temperature has been between 65 and 70 but the winds have been very strong again so seems cooler than normal.
Jan and Judy insisted that they were going to keep the cats tomorrow while we take the motor home to LaMesa RV for service. I kept telling them that they would be fine as we would lock them in the back bathroom while they were working on the RV. Ken also insisted that we bring them down for them to keep and we finally agreed to do so. I hope they know what they are asking for. Raven does not do well with strange places so he will probably spit and growl the entire day.
When the group left I fixed dinner and called it a day.

Larry bought some hooks to put up in the bedroom last week but decided they were not what he wanted. We drove into Yuma to Target to exchange and then went to Bed and Bath as I decided I was going to buy a hokey for the RV. We have a central vacuum but the area rugs are constantly full of trash from the cats and everyone dropping things. I love my hokey that I use at home as it is so easy to grab and run over the area rugs. I had a coupon so decided I'd treat myself, even though Larry does not feel I need one. I bought a nice small one that will not take up much room and it is battery powered so no extension to plug in.
We left Bed and Bath and stopped at Marshall's to buy some drink glasses. I found some nice small wine glasses(stemless) and some taller ones for beer. We drove by Master Cuts and it looked like they were not very busy so stopped to get hair cuts. We both had a hair cut 3 weeks ago but my hair feels like it's been months since I had it cut. The gal that cut mine the last time was there but I ended up getting another one who acted as though she did not understand English. She was very nice but just didn't seem to understand anything I said. When we left, I was pretty sure she had cut my hair very short but guess I can go a few more days between my next cut!
Taylor sent me a gift card to Olive Garden for my birthday so we decided to eat there. It was packed with people but we got in right away. We had soup, salad and stuffed mushrooms and it was so good, as always! I thought the card was for $25 but found it was $50 when we went to pay our bill. I have money left on the card so I can see another visit in the near future.
We came home and I decided to lay down to read. We weren't home long and Ken came over to talk and drink beer with Larry so they sat outside for a long time. I think I snuck a short nap into my afternoon, which is usually the case when I read; I just can't stay awake when I read!
I got up and we snacked for dinner. Later Jan and Judy came over to bring Larry a book. He and Jan like reading the same type of books and she had just finished it. They stayed a short time and left for home. We watched a little TV but wasn't much worth my time so I went back and read for awhile before bed. I still felt tired today--guess I AM retired as a little extra work wears me out. I'm sure it is not because I am OLD!

I didn't post a blog yesterday as we held up in the RV most of the day. It was cold, cloudy and we also had a bit of rain. I read most of the day and worked around the house.
Judy and Jan came over last night and stayed a couple of hours to visit. They said that their sister, Pat, volunteered them to work in the kitchen here at the resort tomorrow morning and then of course, Pat, left to go home, so she will not be working with them. I told them if they needed help to call me and I would come up to work.
This morning after I got my shower, Judy called and said they really needed help so I walked up to the clubhouse to work. They are having a steak fry tonight for 180 people so Judy and I spent a lot of our time scrubbing potatoes for baked potatoes. We washed and stuffed 203 potatoes and wrapped them for baking. Jan and Rosie(another volunteer) helped us with the stuffing and wrapping also. Then Oscar, who is a huge man that resides in the resort, drug in 2 very large bags of lettuce. Judy, Marj(Oscar's wife) and I, washed lettuce and chopped it for salads for another 2 hours. Wow, what a job! While we were working on the lettuce, Oscar washed and chopped green onions and dipped sour cream into bowls for the potatoes. Everyone had a job and no one slacked on helping. I found that Rosie is the aunt of Evelyn, our next door neighbor. She was a wonderful lady and helped organize the whole process. Judy and I mostly worked together so we had a fun time with our stupid comments and chatter. We finished around 1:30 and then Jan, Judy and I decided we would all eat together tonight so we spent a few minutes dividing up what we all would make. They told us we could all come to the steak fry but we decided it would be more fun to just have our own.
I came home and felt like I'd worked a 12 hour day! Larry and I sat down on the patio and had a beer and then went grocery shopping as we were out of everything. We did not get home until 3:15. I made a huge salad, sliced fresh bread and prepared for the oven and we gathered our drinks and walked over to the Jackson's.
We all sat on their deck and had drinks. Jan already had a fresh loaf of warm bread made so we munched on it with our drinks. I had so many carb's that by the time we were ready to eat I felt like a nap.
We visited for quite some time over our drinks and then Jan appointed Larry to grill the steaks. We had a wonderful meal; steak, baked potatoes, hot bread and a salad that I had added so many items to that it was a meal within itself. We were all stuffed by the time we finished. I picked up a small cheesecake and Jan made small banana cream tarts. Of course I had to have a small dessert even though I was so full I couldn't breath. What a wonderful time we had! We all get along so well and it feels like we are all family. Ken and Larry could talk for days and Judy says Ken normally doesn't spend much time talking to anyone. When we met them last year, they were all people that we felt we had known for years.
We cleaned up the mess and stayed for awhile longer talking. When we walked home, Jan and Judy walked over with us and the 3 of us gals set outside for awhile before they left. I could not believe how exhausted I felt. I changed into my PJ's and went to bed to read but was so tired I think I fell asleep soon after I laid down.

Wednesday February 20 2013
Larry went for a walk with Ken and I cleaned up the motor home a little and got a shower. I have an appointment at 10:30 to have a pedicure and manicure at Yuma Nail's which is next door to Frye's.
I arrived for my appointment and the place was packed. I'm glad I made an appointment as most of the people were walk-in's and were being turned away. Wanda as well as Jan and Judy all had their pedicures here last week. They finally called me to a chair and I still sat for 15 minutes until someone came over. The gal's name was Angie and she looked different from the rest of the Vietnamese so I ask if she was Vietnamese. She said she had 4 nationalities in here heritage and 1 was Vietnamese. She was very cute and friendly and when she finished, I decided she was almost as good as my great nail technician, Angel, at home. I didn't think anyone could come close to the beautiful job Angel does but my nails look great. I have such a problem with ingrown nails on my toes and Angie did a great job of cutting them out as well.
I went to Frye's to pick up some grocery items and grabbed chicken wings and tenders from the deli to bring home for lunch. Frye's has such a wonderful deli and a large variety of food. I think there are many of the snowbirds who eat their meals from the deli.
Came home and had lunch. The weather is so cold today that I can't stand being outside. I put on my sweatpants and sweatshirt and laid around all afternoon reading.
Jerry Twedell called this afternoon to ask if we needed a snow shovel. He was watching the Golf Tournament that was held in Tuscon today and he said they were getting lots of snow. We had not seen the news all day but when we watched the evening news they showed Tuscon and the ground and trees were covered with snow and ice. We also heard they cancelled the tournament today because of the snow and wind.

Left for Mexico at about 10:15am as my appointment was at 11:00 and 12:00 for Larry. When we pulled into the parking lot there were so many cars we would have parked 3 blocks from the gate. I drove around for awhile and found someone leaving so we were able to find a close spot. We walked pretty fast to arrive at office by 11:00. We might as well have saved our energy as we sat for an hour before they called Larry in for his 12:00 appointment -- I was still waiting for them to call me. I finally got in for appointment at around 12:20 with Dr. Juan. He placed the permanent crown on the implant and acted as if he was done. I asked him if he was going to remove my old bridge and prepare the area for a new one. Obviously, he did not get the message from Dr. Garcia last week about replacing. He looked at his schedule and decided he had time to do it. It took a long time to get the old bridge off and a shorter time for him to prepare the teeth for the new bridge. The item that took longest was the temporary that he made to cover the prepared area. Unlike our US Dentists, the Mexican Dentist go to extreme effort to make temporary crowns or bridges. They make the temporary's by placing a soft material over prepared area until it hardens. He removed the piece and took it to his lab and worked at least 40 minutes to make it fit. It was almost like the finished product when placed in my mouth. When I had the first 2 bridges done in 2000, the temporary bridge that was placed fit as well as the actual bridge. I'm sure I could have worn it for months. This seems like a costly waste of the dentist's time when it is only going to be there for a week.
Dr. Juan was talking about the bicycle taxi and told me that the officials kicked him out of town. It so happens that the guy who ran the taxi's was Dr. Juan's brother-in-law and he told me there was another guy who had tried for 3 or 4 years to get a license to run a bicycle taxi as well. I guess the officials denied him again this year and he started a fight with Dr's brother-in-law, which resulted in both of them being thrown out. Unless someone pays the right people, I doubt we will see the taxi's again.
Ken, Judy and Jan asked us to make an appointment for all of them for a periodontal cleaning with Dr. Garcia. We walked over to his office and set up the appointments for the same time as my next appointment with Dr. Juan so they can go with us next week. On the way back, I stopped to talk to Luis, the stained glass guy, about making a Chicago Bull's stained glass for my son-in-law. I had copied a picture off the internet this morning as I was not sure he knew what the logo looked like. He had a piece he had previously made that just needed the lettering. He said it would be ready next week.
We checked the boarder line and it was as far as the eye could see. Larry wanted to go stand in line but I told him we could drink beer and wait for the line to go down. We went to El Gourmet to listen to PePe play and drink beer. Jose, our one armed waiter, was glad to see us as I'm sure he LOVES our generous tips. He is a very good waiter and hustles all the time and is very pleasant.
We sat down and I noticed a gentleman who must have been 70---SOMETHING in his 'Daisy Duke' shorts. They were jeans that had been cut off so short the pockets hung out below the legs when he sat down. He was very cocky, Canadian and thought it was all about him! He had a T-shirt with a Harley Davidson vest over it. I'm sure he had just bought the vest at the corner vendor, probably today. I doubt he even knew what a Harley Davidson Motorcycle was. Believe it or not, I don't think he was gay as his wife was with him. After I drank a couple of beer, I wanted to ask him if he was aware 'Daisy Duke's' went out in the 50's!!! Would have loved to see his face when I said that but Larry recommended I keep my mouth shut -- so for once I did!!
PePe played 'Pretty Woman' and Jose pointed at me. Larry said he thinks he has his eye on me. I told him I'm sure I looked like a 'free ride across the boarder' for him. We sat and listened to the music and each of us walked up at different times to check the boarder line and it was still very long. We stayed until about 4:30 and when we went to get in line, it had shortened somewhat, so we were across in about 45 minutes.
