We’re back to pawticipate in Rosy and the Boy’s Nature Friday and while my vacay was fabulous…it’s always good to come home. Even if there was a 60 degree difference in temperatures. While I love this time of year, I will confess to rather enjoying the balmy warm days on the beach. For those who didn’t know where I spent the week, I was in sunny Puerto Vallarta ‘staying calm on the fun side of the Wall’ as some of the locals like to refer to it. Not only were the temperatures warm, the locals were too and graciously kind helping our family navigate a different culture and language of which we are not at all fluent. I was touched by their generosity of spirit and kindness.
But back to Nature Friday. Imagine waking up to a view like this every morning on your way to breakfast. What’s not to appreciate, especially given that I left in a snowstorm with temps hovering in the low 20’s? The clear blue skies and water and remarkably clean beaches with people enjoying fun activities in the sun…it was a soul cleansing week. And sunsets that made you ooh and aww with their incredible color.
We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving; for our part, we were reflective in our gratitude…for health, happiness, love and fellowship with our family and fur-iends, both the 2 and 4-legged versions and naturally for you, dear reader. It’s days like yesterday where I am reminded just how blessed and fortunate I am. Have a great weekend, savor those left-overs and stay safe if you’re brave enough to actually go out shopping.
Live, love, bark! 🐾

Indeed it was, Ruby. A-mazing margaritas and beaches. I hope the smoke clears up for you guys. Sending oodles of poodles of healthy thoughts your way.
What a beautiful trip
Happy Leftovers … and cheers to the best wishes to all the good stuff in the season. Oh that warmth sure looks inviting. Glad you had a great time. More treats for the 4-legged duo!
We’re a two hour drive from the border and reasonably proficient in Spanish yet we don’t go there much.
What a wonderful vacation! I am so glad that you had a good time with your family. Happy Thanksgiving!
That looks like an inviting place to visit. The older I get the more I dislike the cold
hugs

What a gorgeous vacation spot!! I hope that our world gets a bit less blustery soon!
Sounds like you had a wonderful trip – and look at those gorgeous blue skies! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
A fabulous trip and a fabulous Thanksgiving. Hope your howliday was wagnificent.
Never been to PV but sun/sand destinations are not among our top spots simply because, well, that was our day to day environment for so many years. I guess that’s why we end up in your neck of the woods so often these days!
Normally I’m not a beach chick, but confess the sound of surf sure was relaxing. It is hard to beat the mountains though. 🏔 v. 🏝
For the record, my first trip to PV. It’s a great place to visit and was charmed by their vibrant art scene.
Wow…what beautiful pictures!!
It’s such a pretty area, the pictures take themselves. 📷
gorgeous view!! So happy you had a pawesome time!! Sadly, we have no leftovers, went to our niece’s and they never offered us anything to take home…WTF!!???
The downside of going to someone else’s house is no leftovers. ☹️ Hope it was at least a lovely get together.
Yes a lovely sight to wake up to each morning. However, I am not a beach person, I prefer mountains to beaches – in spite of the fact that this is an almost flat area. Perhaps the preference for mountains is a “Scottish thing”. Who can tell? Glad you all had a great, enjoyable and relaxing time in the sun. You deserved it.
“The fun side of the wall.” –Love it!! Sounds like a great vacation!
It sure cracked me up.
😀
I love going to Mexico beaches. And yes, the people have always been great. Except for one of the bartenders on the beach. I asked (very nicely) if he might add just a bit more alcohol to my umbrella drink (it tasted like straight juice and sugar) and he got mad and filled it to the top with tequila. Undrinkable, LOL. .
Just goes to show there are passive aggressive people all over the world. 🍹
Ha, ha, ha I never thought about it that way!
Wait a minute…he put too much tequila in? And you rejected it? Oh my, my, my…..
Not me. I’d have just ordered some OJ or some similar kind of fruit juice. I know how to dilute. Drinks and passive aggressive macho dudes 😇
I agree! Remember your chemistry…dilution is the solution to pollution. Works with tequila. But really…how often is too much tequila a real problemo?
I can honestly say that’s never happened to me!
Wonderful!
You are making me *that* much closer to crashing my sisters’ cruise in March…
Hope your Thanksgiving was fabulous and that you are not getting crushed in the BF madness…
Welcome back to the 303; at least the current weather shouldn’t be as much of a shock as the weather when you left! I hope that you returned rested and refreshed
It has been somewhat of an adjustment weather wise, but I don’t mind the cold too much. The wind…that’s a different story. It was a lovely rejuvenating time.
Beautiful sunset!! A trip somewhere warm would be lovely about now.

Thank you. It was the pawfect get-away. Especially since it snowed at home. 😉
Spent a week there many years ago. I’m glad you enjoyed every minute. As I remember is was in the 80s every single day. Perfect weather.
Have a fabulous day and weekend. ♥
I’m guessing it’s quite toasty in the summer, but last week was picture perfect all around.
Ah you enjoyed the beach. Its beautiful there, ive seen the travel episodes.
Though I would miss having 4 seasons like I do currently, I could actually see myself living happily there.
Me too… One day…
Wagnificent pics!☀️
HuMom & I can learn to enjoy some of winter & all it’s frigidness but we both are sun loving creatures☀️☀️☀️
What would you expect from us, our birthdays are the 1st day of Summer😉
Enjoy your weekend🐾

Thanks. It’s good to experience it all. I prefer cooler weather, but the beach is a wonderful place to visit.
that is eye candy while we have 50 shades of gray outside…
Here’s hoping the sun comes out soon on your side of the pond.
so that’s where you were! It looks so pretty!
It truly was. Pretty with unparalleled graciousness by the host country.
What a gorgeous sunset! 🙂
We were never disappointed in the evening light show.
I could use a week like that. We are experiencing record breaking low temperatures. It was 19 degrees this morning. That’s January weather and really the worst of January. Boogers. I love the beach. Water is so relaxing.
Awk! That is cold. Hope things warm up soon and there’s some relaxing beach in your near future. Stay warm.
Hopefully it will warm up by next week. They got the shelters for the homeless going early this year. Dang weather is wonky.
It’s definitely shaping up as ‘one of those’ kinds of years.
