Will you still need me? Will you still feed me?
All for me???
I had a birthday on Saturday and the whole city celebrated! There were parades and floats and bands on every corner – lots of heart balloons everywhere as well. Sweeeeet!
La Ruina
I didn’t feel like making a party at the house since it was Carnival and so I invited some friends to join us at our favorite botana bar, La Ruina. It was a good time. That sneaky Samuel even got the singer to sing Las Mañanitas to me. I had a wonderful time, enjoyed the music, the food and mainly the friends and then walked home and took a nap. We old ladies party like that.
me, Alex & Stephen
We were also celebrating Stephen ‘The Brit’ Dodwell’s birthday which was yesterday. PLUS, my dearest and oldest friend – who is younger in years, let me make that clear before I get in trouble – Ellen aka Country, was here for a week. She hadn’t yet seen the house more or less finished and I was anxious that she approve.
Country & Mimi
Country flew into Mérida but left from Cancun so we came over to Akumal for a couple days before her departure. It’s at least warm and sunny in the day, still chilly at night but that makes for good sleeping weather.

So, that’s been this last week. I’m enjoying life and I haven’t had much time to get on the computer. I’ll be back more frequently when we return to Mérida… promise!
happy b’day old friend
you look great and i miss you….(who would have ever thought we would make this far???)
and hello Country…. so good to see you too! I think the last time we talked was almost 30 years ago???
Glad you enjoyed your day jonna!
Looks like a party! Happy Birthday Jonna! My 65th will be awaiting me when I get home in April. Time waits for no one! Maybe see two two in Merida on our way through in a couple of weeks…

Happy Birthday! I love your blog. I check every day, I am loyal even when you don’t post for months (O.K., it just seems like months). Thanks so much for adding so much to my day…The old Texas Teacher.
A belated Happy Birthday to you! (I’m glad you appreciated and enjoyed the party I had the city throw for you!)
Many happy returns!
Happy, happy birthday — and many, many more.
Feliz Cumpleaños, Jonna. What a great party they threw for you in Merida.
my birthday is november 13th, and when i was a kid i thought the veterans’ day parades were in my honor….although i could never understand why those old men were so happy i was born that they took to the streets in their uniforms.
happy bird-day two ewes, amiga!!

You look so happy and content! Congratulations on another year of loving and living the good life! Wishing you many more to come!!!
Happy Birthday…sorry we missed it, looks like you had a great time!
Happy B-Day Jonna…like a fine wine….GREAT!
Happy Birthday Jonna! Now that looked like a fabulous birthday party! I know they love you there in Merida! I’m Dec 15th. When I was little we’d put up our tree on my birthday. I thought for years that everyone’s Christmas tree was in celebration of my birthday. ;^) You’re looking good and I hope you’re feeling well. We sure did enjoy visiting with Mimi when she was in Cat city. Please give her our love. It may be a couple years but we still want to make a trip to Mexico!
Love you,
Ilene & John
Happy belated birthday jonna. Glad to see you had a wonderful day. Xoxo
A belated happy birthday! Looks like it was a good one. Send some of that warm weather here to the north.
Hi there! You guys look like you are loving life. Thanks for stopping by my blog — my wife and I will be in playa at the mahekal for a week starting march 8th. It’s our first trip, so we’re pretty excited. If you’re around, drop me an email and maybe you can show us where to get a good pina coloda.
