Long cool woman in white slacks

The long cool woman in the white slacks drew admiring stares from all of us at Fayne's this weekend. She and every man she danced with could win Dancing with the Stars in a heartbeat. The Band Without a Name enjoyed every beat.
Jimmy from Massachusetts enjoyed the evening after treating me to dinner at Olivia's. A skewer of shishlick accompanies a salad for an extra 40 peso. A yummy way to go!
Sunday's main event was delivery of living room furniture from TeleBodega in Cancun. Punta was very glad there was more after the love seat came through the door.
In the evening, Anna from Euless, Texas and two granddaughters checked in. It was an eventful weekend!

GardnerParkerville

Gardner and Mia Parker treated me to dinner the other night at LoLo's, along with a dozen of their friends from Houston. It was another fabulous meal by LoLo!
The "teaser" was lentile ceviche topped with yogurt. Then there were salads: the conch, carrot and ginger salad known as Lover's Salad, and a Thai salad of crispy ground meat and fresh veggies with a fish sauce based dressing. Then another teaser of four scallops in a tomato cream sauce. Gardner and Mia chose pork loin Florentine with mashed potatoes for their main course, I had the Morrocan chicken. Some had seafood cassoulet.
We play a game through the meal: say three things about yourself, one a lie. And then the others vote. Well, of my details, most thought I lied about being a ski and swimming instructor in my past and thought it really did have an out of wedlock son in high school who is now a doctor!
Gardner, for the record, did not play football in high school! And Mia IS a CPA born on April 15. No one believed a CFO in a football jersey had an accounting background. Some are better liars than others!
Then we were off to GardnerParkerville! Fayne's. And they danced! Woohoo. And Gardner climbed a ladder at the bar to touch the sign that says GardnerParkerville, put up to honor his 30 years of patronage on Isla Mujeres. Chucho accompanied the reveler's on keyboard with a drummer.
I bowed out at 1:30am and rested most of yesterday. Today, Mia accompanies me for an after lunch beverage and my revisit to the tattoo artist adjacent to Brisa's Grill. My eyeliner needs redone!
