After a magical 31/2 months in Puerto Vallarta we returned to Philly on March 11. We had a wonderful time staying with friends Matt and Jim for @ 5 days. During that time I saw a few friends, visited my former employer, Salus University, and met with our Interfaith group, a group of 7 interfaith couples that we initially met at synagogue Or Hadash over 20 years ago.
We then drove to Virginia to see Bradley and pick up our dog, Zuni, who lived with Bradley and his girlfriend Krissy while we were in PV. The few days we spent there were way too short. How is it that you spend 18 years, every day with a child and then only get to see him several times a year when he is an adult? He seems very happy in his life...and that is what matters, but we miss him.
We will be going back to PV in November and will stay through March next year. We have found a new condo, very close to the Old City where we can bring Zuni. It is a traditional Mexican 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment, with a pool so you all have an open invitation. We are hoping that it will be an improvement from this year since it is much cleaner, better kept up, and has an oven. I look forward to seeing all my friends: Josie, Marcella, Cat, Joan, Margaret Ann, Bruce and returning to my theatre interests at the Boutique Theatre, volunteer work and yoga on the beach.
After leaving Bradley, we drove to Cleveland to see family and attend my mother's unveiling. My cousins Faith and Dean are always very welcoming and we look forward to our time with them. Then we took a 4 day drive to McAllen Texas to visit my in-laws, Harry and Lou, and pick up our RV.
We ended up spending much more time there than anticipated. The RV needed a lot of expensive repairs which took quite a while. Now we are in the hill country of central Texas between Austin and San Antonio. We'll spend 10 days here exploring the area.
I'll fill you in on our explorations and some photos in the next post.
