can I just say the weather has been silly for at least a week…

last Friday it was snowing as I went to an appointment in the morning… by the end of the day it was basically all gone…

on Wednesday it snowed like crazy and as I headed out to the car after work – in my sandals – I realized that I did not have a brush or scrapper to clean it off… happily I had a cloth in the trunk which helped clean off the snow from the windows…

when I got home I pulled out some brushes and cleared off the roof which was still covered with the wet snow… thank goodness it melted away overnight and the garage isn’t going to be filled with snow all winter…

today it has been raining/snowing all day so I haven’t left the house…

hoping tomorrow is better because I still don’t have a turkey, lol…

early start to the day with a dentist appointment for a filling…

usually my teeth are in great shape and the regular cleaning and check-ups keep any cavities away…

unfortunately last time I was in, she noticed a broken piece on one of my back molars… I hadn’t been wearing my mouthguard as much as I am supposed to, which might have been the problem…

let me tell you I’ve been wearing it every night since… don’t want any more broken bits, sigh…

this morning she was sad when she realized which tooth it was, because I gag easily, so doing work at the back of my mouth is always stressful… for me and for her… she doesn’t want to cause any unnecessary stress or strain on me if at all possible…

whenever she does a procedure on my teeth she works quickly and takes frequent breaks so I can breathe… this is one of the reasons that I found a dentist who dealt with “chickens”… and they love purple;-)… at the water station they have the cutest little purple cups…

today it went well until they were removing some of the stuff they had stuck into my mouth, lol… but, I survived…

I don’t have dental insurance and usually what I pay for 3 cleanings and check-ups is less than the insurance… today’s bill was more than anticipated, but worth it to stop any further decay…

once I got to the office I had a blueberry smoothie, which was purple too…

got up at six am as I was heading into the office early with a colleague as we were carpooling…

hadn’t planned to get up early to watch the eclipse because it was supposed to be overcast…

when I looked out the window I was so excited to actually see the moon in the midst of the eclipse…

got out my camera and tripod and took a few pictures…

between taking photos and making my lunch I sat and watched the beautiful display out my front window…

what a glorious start to the day…

no spectacular shots but I did have lots of fun…

slideshows…

another beautiful early morning drive… was rather surprised by the amount of traffic…

ended my day with the last of the Thanksgiving mashed potato and green beans, made into patties and shrimp…

in between I learned some very cool things regarding photos on my phone… been trying for ages to save slideshows on my phone… and today a colleague helped me figure it out… so exciting… I do love technology...

gotta go and play now;-)…

of course, on a day off I woke up at 5:30, so I headed out for a hot tub…

the heavens were amazing and the moon was huge… the stars were very bright and I was able to get a picture of Orion’s Belt…

considering it was on my phone it came out pretty good, lol…

the streetlight shining on the lawn furniture was also lovely…

as I was driving toward my appointment this morning the moon looked like it was close enough to touch…

happy I stopped and took a few photos, because by the time I got out of the car, it was gone…

had a nap this afternoon;-)…

left the house at 3:30 am in two cabs to get us to the airport in time for our departure…

the flight was uneventful and the four hours went by quickly… a few of us slept and others read, watched movies and snacked…

it was fun to watch the sun rise on one side of the plane while it was still dark on the other…

saw some cool mountains as we flew over… no idea where they were…

and, eventually we saw the sun rising on our side of the plane…

arrived at the airport and went through customs without a problem… the palm trees are such a welcome sight once exiting the building…

the system at the hotel left a little to be desired… had to stand in line on three separate occasions before eventually getting to our rooms…

but while we were waiting we found a cafe with free wifi and a fishing connection…

we had a shrimp party there… apparently, Mazatlan is known for its shrimp…

my favourite was the coconut crusted ones which were delicious… 

and then spent the afternoon at the pool… this was the view as we headed in to eat dinner…

we are going to pay for a week of wifi so I can post this and the next six blogs without searching for free spots all the time, lol…

now to bed, been a long day and we have an early start tomorrow… which also happens to be my girl’s birthday;-)…

sun came up early even though the time turned back an hour…

much of the technology in my house changes by itself… even the bedside clock…

still have to change the microwave and my watch…

no problem with the microwave… 

the watch, on the other hand, was a big problem… tried everything… even going online looking for a manual, but no luck…

it is the correct time now… because my son-in-law stopped by on his way home from work… he showed me what he did… we’ll see if I can remember next time it changes, lol… 

he also changed the timers on the various lights so they come on at the right time…

all set…
