Here it is... the beginning of November already. Time really does go so quickly. It's strange for us to be missing the obvious signs that a change of the season is coming. It did get a little cooler in the middle of October. But that really only means that it's around 30C everyday instead of 35C! The trees are still full and green. Flowers are blooming everywhere and the lawn still demands to be cut! We really have to check out the calendar to know what month it is! But having said that....I'm working on Christmas decorations! I don't expect the holidays to be the same here. We'll go small scale with a tropical flair and we'll create new traditions.
Things are fairly quiet here. Adam and I are just getting over colds. And for the record, that's the first time that we've been sick since moving here! And now my Mom is feeling sniffly! Oh well, I guess that can happen in paradise, too. All in all, I think that we are healthier here. More fresh food and exercise and we are getting enough Vitamin D from the sun for the first time in our lives! I love not going to work in the dark, sitting at a desk all day, and then going home in the dark!

Can't let it be said that we aren't doing anything! In spite of our colds we are still working on the house. We came up with an idea for a very simple outdoor shower. It started as a shower head with a small concrete slab. Let's just say that the plan evolved! Here's a pic of me painting the new room that we added on to the house! I grouted the beautiful tiles and we have a contractor building the trim and bench! It's going to be great. I'll post more pics when it's done. It's not that we really need an outdoor shower...it's just that we can...and that's really cool!
