I don't spend a lot of time or effort building this site. It is not a passion, or even a hobby. It is just a place where I like to post some photos for my friends and family to see a little bit of our life here. There are also some galleries of our previous life in Alaska and other areas. I occaisionally add photos or create new galleries.

I hope this site will give you all a little glimpse into what life in Mexico is like. It is not all tortillas and beans, dirt floors, adobe huts, dirt roads, cobblestone streets, or the unbearable heat and humidity on a beach in the summer.

We do have hot water, electricity, television, cell phones, and Starbucks (If you like weak coffee.)

I worked at a job I loved. I retired. I live in Cuernavaca, Mexico with the wife I love. Doris and I met in Cordova, Alaska. The official city motto of Cuernavaca is "The City of eternal spring", it is never very hot, and never cold here.

The original Nahuatl name of Cuernavaca was Cuaunahuac, "Place of great trees". It is believed the Spanish invaders couldn't pronounce it, so they re-named it Cuernavaca (cows horn). The Spanish are not held in very high esteem here. It is a mistake to refer to a Mexican as "Spanish".

I brought one snow shovel with us when we moved from Alaska to Mexico, so I could look at it once in a while. It always makes me happy, and I smile when I look at it.

We have family and friends, and dogs that love us, and we love them too. We have Grandkids we love. Our five kids aren't bad either. Life is good. Leave Social Security alone.
