Day 27 Tuesday

Can't believe it...27 days already!

My buddy Al picked me up at 8:40 and off we went for the ex cops morning breakfast. Many have gone home already, so there were only 5 of us there.

Great breakfast buffet at this Mexican Restaurant...whatever you want and all for $5.

Lots of great conversation with the other guys and lots of laughs as usual. Just love these conversations where you can have a good belly laugh...makes for a great day! We hung around for quite a while, just talking, and having a good time.

Katie and I are off to Mexico today as the girls are off school for the next couple of weeks. Katie got in touch with our friend Sherlyn who will pass the info to Erika to drop the girls off at the pharmacy for 1PM. We're going to take them for their yearly visit to get their nails done, and I intend to get a Mexican haircut. You might ask what makes a Mexican haircut different than any other haircut? Well it costs $5 for one thing, and with that you get a massage.

Erika dropped off the girls and Eric at 1PM. We took them to Angie's Beauty Salon, I got a haircut, which Angie did herself. She did not use electric clippers at all, just scissors. She did a very good job. The girls got their nails done, and the two girls that did them, took a very long time making sure the details were good. Our friend Lenny had said something to Angie in Spanish and we think he told her to give us the family rate.

The nails and my haircut came to $29....but I did not get the massage...oh well!

We did some shopping, and took the kids for pizza. There was a foosball game at the back of the restaurant but no ball...so the kids got creative and asked the kitchen guy for a lime, and they played with that. Sherlyn picked us up, as she and her mom Marisol were waiting at the house for us.

The kids had some of those eggs that have confetti inside and which you crack over someone's head. Luckily this year they picked on Sherlyn instead of us.

Karelly gave Katie and I a letter each and inside the letter was

Katie got some good shots when we were shopping...getting hair cut...getting nails done

Sherlyn and her mom dropped us off at our car...easy at the border.

Rest and relaxation for the rest of the night.

and so ends another great day in the Valley...

more later...
