Rain...and Mexico...

This morning it was blue sky and a light wind. I did up the breakfast dishes.. did laundry and about noonish.. we took off to go to Mexico. It was kind of windy and overcast then.. but in the 60s. Glad I brought a sweat shirt.
This is the plan.. just run across the boarder.. buy my pills.. buy Athena and Karli a dress and then.. come back into the states. We walked into Mexico without a care in the world.. We bought my pills, then walked around the open markets.. boy everyone wants to bargain.. Anyway bought one little dress.. Saw others that I liked.. but will buy another one at a later date. We walked around the block and people were starting to line up.. so we walked over to the LINE..We were quite aways back.. but it seemed to be moving at least. THEN.. about an hour in.. the rains came.. we were under a screen that would protect you from the sun.. but still let the rain come through.. all thought not as bad as just standing in the rain. THEN.. THEN it cooled, the rains came in torrents and people were trying so hard to stay dry.. Needless to say.. they sold a semi full of blankets for $5.00 I felt really good.. I actually found a pretty blue one. They were asking for &.00 but she finally just gave then for 5.. She didn't know how to make change for $7.00 from a 10 or 20. Anyway.. warmth.. I was huddled next to Mel under his sweatshirt.. and I know he was getting cold.. he is so hard to warm up once he is cold.. but I loved the warmth. I had a t-shirt on.. the lady behind me had a short sleeved white shirt on and was as soaked as I.. So I shared my blanket with her.. she wanted to buy a blanket but they never made it back to the front of the line. She was shivering.. I was glad I could share my blanket.. I wish it would have been bigger.. I would have shared it with others around me. My sweatshirt I left in the car.. after all wasn't going to be gone that long! ALWAYS take a sweatshirt.. you just never know..
Mel actually didn't say anything when I cranked the car heat to 75!
We stopped on the way back home at Famous Dave's.. an okay BBQ place.. had dinner.. froze running out to the car.. cranked the heat.. got home and cranked the heat! I got Mel under the blankets and I took Jaxe out to the dog run.. NOW SHE is under her puppy blanket.. warming up and trying to dry off. We'll go back. But we know when is the best times to go now!
Well you all take care and will write more later :) (I hear 2 more days of ucky weather!)
