So Much Going On !!
| Sorry folks for slacking on the blog. There has been so much going on for the last few months. I have really put my heart and Jim's heart to work with the orphanage "manosdeamor.com" or better become friends with us on face book "Manos de Amor". Jim as become the official maintenance man there. Doing odd ball job like repair all the bike flat tires. Replace light bulbs, weld computer desk for the new computer room. Made some welded stands to hang the tables out of the way. We had a big cocktail party to raise some funds for the big fund raiser that we had in February. In February we had the Big Rhythm & Rib Fest to raise money to get a good used van for all the kids to fit in inside. Now they just have a little pickup and the girls are inside and the boys are outside. I have been going whale watching this year quit often. Then Jim and I went on a 5 day trip to visit San Luis Potosi & Zacatecas Mexico. Now that we are here we need to see more of Mexico. This is a good way to do it with lots of good friends. Now March is here and the whales will be heading back to Canada & Alaska so I have to go see them more often before they leave. We have family and friends coming in this month to visit. We will be leaving a little bit early we have a race in May. The time will go by real quick now !! DARN !! :( Well folks happy belated Happy New Year, Happy Birthday, Happy Valentines Day !! Hope to do better of keeping you up to date on the adventures. Take care all and hope to see you all soon. Jim & WW |

Been busy with Mano's DE Amor ( kids from the orphanage) we have lots going for them. Christmas parties from different business. Making arts and crafts for invitations to the cocktail party. The other day I went with my friend Maria and her daughters to visit her dad. Then he took us to the river to go swimming. It was really nice, clean and clear. But, boy was it COLD but after you were in it felt good. More time to play !!!! Jim and I went to the beach the other day. Had a great time there. I was the only one who went in the water. Jim only likes to go and sit in the sun. So, I had to be like a kid and go find a friend. Yep !! I did met some lady's that were on vacation for the week. They lived about 10 hours away and where going to different beaches on the way back home. We went to our friend Adolph's 75Th birthday party. We started there at 3p.m. and didn't leave till 11:30...
