The time has come for Kate and I to pack our bags once again and head back to that other place we call home! The thought of leaving paradise is leaving us with mixed emotions, we have made so many friends here, and of course we will be meeting up with them when we return again in November ,and return we will, we have already booked our rental for next winter.
Most of our friends have already gone back to the cold, three couples from Nova Scotia who we will be meeting up with on our return, we all got together last week for the last supper at our favourite restaurant owned by my Scottish friend Mike, needless to say we all got" hammered".
Starting this month, Mike is putting prime rib on the menu on Wednesdays only and has kindly invited Kate and I to be his guests this Wed. for a prime rib dinner.
We were up to the office this morning meeting the 12 year old girl that Kate is sponsoring to put through school on behalf of her grandaughter Megan, I also want to sponsor a young boy and a young girl on behalf of my daughter Jacquie. so many of those kids need help to get an education,
they come from families of 5 and 6 and whose father only earns approx. $400.00 a month.
Hard to believe, but so many similar cases, and yes, kids here only get free education until the 4th. grade, after that they have to pay.
So back to the packing, our plan is to leave here on Friday 11th.April depending on the flights and be in our apartment on Saturday.......Look out Pete`s, here I come !

HI THIS IS JACK'S SCOTTISH FRIEND MICHAEL. THEY WERE IN THE RESTAURANT THE LAST 2 MIGHTS AND THE FIRST NIGHT WE HAD A GREAT TIME TOGETHER AND THEY BOTH LEFT AFTER ABOUT 4HRS FOR A NIGHT OF LUST IN MEXICO.
THEY WERE BACK LAST NIGHT, IE THURSDAY THE 10TH, FOR THEIR LAST SUPPER AND JACK HAD BABY BACK RIBS AND KATE SEA BASS, BUT NO ALCOHOL ONLY FRESH CARROT JUICE. IT WAS AN EARLY EVENING AS THEY HAD TO FINISH LAST MINUTE PACKING AND GET TO BED TO RISE EARLY FRIDAY.
I MISS THEM ALREADY AS THEY ARE 2 OF THE MOST WONDERFUL PEOPLE IT HAS BEEN MY PLEASURE TO KNOW. THEY HAVE FOR ME PROVIDED A WONDERFUL JOURNEY IN GETTING TO KNOW THEM. I HAVE A SENSE OF EMOTION AS I WRITE THIS AS I KNOW I AM GOING TO MISS THEM AND CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THEY RETURN. I AM REALLY GOING TO MISS MY PARTNER IN SONG AS I KNOW THAT WE WERE SO MUCH BETTER AS A DUET.
TO ALL OF YOU WHO KNOW THEM THEY ARE A TREASURE FOR US ALL, AND I ASK YOU BLUE NOSERS TO LOOK AFTER THEM THIS SUMMER AND SEND THEM BACK ASAP.
MICHAEL
What wonderful and true words by Michael. I am Jack's daughter. I know my dad will say I'm biased, but he not only is a fabulous father, but I share a special friendship with him. Kate and my dad are two of my favorite people, and I'm so glad my dad is in a great relationship with Kate. I can see what a difference she has made in his life. The friends they have in Mexico sound like terrific people, and dad absolutely loves being there. I miss him by not living closer, but I'm very happy he is in a good time in his life where he can do what makes him happy for once. I look forward to meeting dad and Kate's friends. Take good care of them for me. Those two mean the world to me.
