Living overseas, Mexico, Retirement

Feliz Navidad!

Leslie and I will still be in our rental for Christmas. The upgraded kitchen and bathroom projects will apparently go into early January. Hopefully done by Jan. 15. So here are a few more photos of the renovation, along with a Merry Christmas to all!

The kitchen cabinets are in. A deep, single sink goes right under the window, with the new dishwasher in the space just to the left. The stove goes in the slot to the right. And the new window is a solid pane of glass, which offers amazing views of the lake, with a transom that opens to get cool breezes. This is going to be a light, bright kitchen!
Tile is going up in the new shower but they still need to add the decorative tile just above where the tile ends here, and finish the cubbyhole for shampoos and things.
Part of the new closet, with deep drawers and hanging space. There’s a similar space on the other side of the door into the bathroom. Lots of storage space above for suitcases and other things.

  6. We try to keep up with you two but it’s been so crazy here! We hope you had a Merry Christmas and best wishes for a safe and more importantly a Healthy New Year.
    Seriously thinking Chapala would be the place for us! So do you love it? We sure enjoyed it while we were there!
    Blessings to you both….Michelle & David

    1. Thanks! And a Happy New Year to you two also!
      Yes, we believe we made the right choice coming to Ajijic and the Lakeside area. We plan to be here until the end — whenever that is. The climate is nearly perfect, the people are terrific, there’s a lot to do here, and did I mention the climate??? We would love to have you come and visit when all this covid stuff is behind us. We think you will love it too!

      1. I love getting your and Leslie’s updates! I’ve been trying to respond to all of them to no avail. I downloaded “Wordpres” and hoping you get this message!
        We are still considering a move there if and when David retires! It should happen pretty soon, as he’s definitely ready!
        Love the home…looking good and we know it’s a “process”.
        The kitties are soooo cute! I just love them! I want another one so bad…..
        Please keep in touch. I think Leslie has my email…
