March wind came in like a lamb. But the second day it roared like a lion. Nothing too severe though. We are getting cloudy weather but it is starting to warm up a little, however that north wind still makes it chilly. Not yet able to sit on the deck and read without it being chilly.
Dave and I put up the new ceiling in my art room. It is nice looking and it will do for what I need. Putting the new ceiling in gave me the opportunity to take almost everything out of the room and clean it real good. Dave put the blinds up so now it is going to be more comfortable in there as far as temperature and will help in the summer to keep some of the heat out.
I cleaned out more things of my art supplies. I actually had a lot of stuff I wouldn't use so I am setting them aside to give to our water lady. It truly is amazing how much stuff you can accumulate. Now the room looks better with less clutter.
Dave and I have talked about moving back to the states and we were going to wait a year and move in 2022, but we are pushing that back to April 2021. We made the decision to move due to our age and it is getting harder to get our medicines here. We have to rely on a friend who lives in San Diego but he isn't getting any younger either. So the house is up for sale, however, not being advertised right now as we have a prospective buyer coming down from San Diego soon. We sent him pictures and answered questions so we shall see. If that doesn't work we have another person who wishes to be in our neighborhood. We have mixed feelings about leaving but in our hearts we know it is time. There are still places we want to travel to with friends and family, so lots more to see and do. We will have to live in our trailer in Washington, where - I don't know, but once we get up there we will seek out somewhere. We are excited to be moving back to be close to family and health care. This house we have is requiring a lot of maintenance as it is going on 30 years since it was built. There are wood termites here which are a big problem so we have to keep our eye on that. Plus the trip back and forth from here to Washington is getting old. So there are many reasons for leaving. It has been a wonderful adventure down here and I love the desert and warm weather, except summer with humidity, but time to get back to some civilization. I am excited for our future. Dave loves to fish and he hasn't been able to do much of that here as the tides are always at the wrong time of day to launch. So there have been pluses and minus but life is like that. Once we meet the prospective buyer and hopefully he will buy, we will pack up the truck and head north. We are looking at the first part of April.
I packed up most of the art room to give away and kept just the things I really want. Our water lady is getting all kinds of fun things to share and make with family and friends. I feel really good to have it go to people who love to create. She had 2 small truck loads when I got through. She and her grandkids were so excited.
Once our Mexico adventure and life ends I will no longer be keeping a blog. I just wanted family and friends to know of our trip down to Mexico and our life here in the little fishing village of Bahia de los Angeles.
The house is sold. We met the buyer and his friend came with him to check everything out. Unfortunately his wife will have to wait and come later. We talked everything over, he left and the next day made an offer. We excepted and the rest is history. We are so thankful the house sold. It would be hard to sell it if we were in the states so everything worked out great. He and his friend left to go back to Oceanside, California and the buyer and his wife will come back in a couple weeks. We will be gone but Dave went over everything with the buyer and we have written up stuff that is pertinent to this house and it's workings.
We have started to pack. The nice thing is we are leaving pretty much everything here as it is turn key. That is how we were able to get buy it and it makes it so easy to pack up our personal stuff. So the truck is full and all that is left is our overnight bags and some miscellaneous stuff.
We are excited and looking forward to our new life. We will miss the pretty much everyday sunshine, but we can travel to sunny places.
The weather is getting warmer and it is beginning to feel like summer. The fish are biting and the tides are low for clamming. The new owners will have a lot of fun.
Our friends here in Bahia gave us a going away dinner at our favorite restaurant, Alejandra's. It was a bittersweet moment but I am sure our paths will cross sometime again.
Our bar tender - Oscar
The lovely lady on the left was the one who arranged the party. So much fun
Thank you for reading my blog and following our adventures on the boat and in Mexico. A new beginning is on the horizon!
