Shoes and Flowers
Shoes Tell a Story
As I was picking up and arranging things outside the motor coach today I looked at the arrangement of shoes that we have outside the door and concluded that with a picture I could claim either that we had a lot of visitors, or that we just have a lot of choices when it comes to comfort in our new lifestyle, especially here in Mexico. Actually both are true as when our friends do come a calling their shoe style is much the same as ours. No need any more for the steel toe stuff, or the polished to the hilt boots, or the high heels. No sir, just give us something that is easy to get the sand out of, easy to climb in and out of on a whim, and just plain feel good when ya’ got em’ on.
Rescued Flowers
When we arrived here in early November it was hotter than holly, you know what, and there were planters of flowers all along the walls of the pool. Apparently when people leave for the season they put their flowers around the pool so the maintenance folks who tend to the park in the off season (Mexico’s summer), can water them. The pots have the names of the folks on them and when they return again in the fall for another year they can go claim their plants and spruce up their pad as desired. As people filtered in to the park throughout November those plants gradually were mostly claimed, except for a few that totally looked dead or in some cases the folks whose name was on them were for sure not returning to the park and those of us who were “newbie’s” to the park could claim them. We moved three potted plants over to our pad that quite frankly looked to be on their last leg. With a little fertilizer and some tender loving care they have thrived and are looking pretty good now. They didn’t photo quite like I would have liked but from what I have you can get an idea of how they look. Other photo’s are just around the front of the coach and to let you know that we always have the “Welcome Mat” out!
