Been a While

It’s been a while since I posted anything. What can I say? I’ve been busy. Haven’t you? Here’s a brief update.

My wife finally moved down from the States. Let me tell you, 2 ½ months living in separate countries absolutely sucks. I can’t imagine the stress military couple face. Kudos to those who keep it together through long deployments.

I’ve taken up beach combing. Peñasco (I finally learned how to make that squiggly mark over the ‘n’) has no entertainment. Mostly I collect sea glass since Cortez doesn’t have much else but garbage on its beaches. I’m up to about 20 pounds. Mostly I have broken bits of brown beer bottles. How’s that for alliteration? I joined an on-line group of sea glass enthusiasts. A lot of them do jewelry. I’m not into jewelry, but some of it is really cool. I’m going to start making leaded glass projects out of my pieces. Pics forthcoming. I joined the group because I found some rare colors and I wanted to find out just how rare they are. Apparently black/grey sea glass is exceedingly rare. So far I’ve found 4 pieces. Lucky me!

The weather has started to warm up. It’s about 80 degrees during the day. My wife went home for a few weeks and returned last night. She said there’s a noticeable difference in the temps and humidity since she left. I didn’t notice. In another month or two this place will be hotter than blazes! This Wyoming boy is NOT looking forward to that.
