Now live in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico. First visited in 1979. Moving here was the best decision of my life, after first visiting in 1979 when there were few peoples, eateries and NO Condos! I have made my mark here and known by thousands via my writing. I am very active on Facebook and operate five groups ranging from local news, restaurants, gardening and live entertainment. I even constructed one for my my dear Bonita, cat with spiritual ties. I have survived five major illnesses including bleeding ulcers and a year-long urinary tract infection. The spirits cannot figure how to get rid of me. I have been credited for my inner strength.

School Story

Long list...Beverly, Glanzman, Bowsher, Michigan State University, BS and MS in Horticulture. Co-founded the Puerto Vallarta Garden Club, Mexico. My Bowsher High School memory was co-writing and co-"starringÂȘ in The Rebelees in our senior year The McMann Trap! Loved Oom Pah Pah by Sue Wiseley, my girl at the time. Miss her (two years younger then us) and have searched the Internet for her. She had married names of Scardina and Johnston. And the script committee reunion vacation mainly in Seattle (no I would not go the the top of The Space Needle, shortly before the way-too-early passing of dearest Sue Apple. "When I we going to go over the water? Ah, we just did. The two of us sat in the parked car below the surface in the ferry boat, talking nonstop! I also loved being President of the National Honor Society, a complete surprise, which helped bring me out of my shell and not be nervous in front of people. We sure had some good times.

Goodbye, dear friend Ray. All those memories float in of the 60s playing in the 'hood, being boys, living right across the street. Our parents were friends as were all the people around. The Petersons, The Fosters, The Zinks, The Johnsons, The McHughs, The Gerhausers, The Schicks, on and on- All went to Rugby, Glanzman and ended up at Bowsher, a '67 Rebel.

Hola, I used to all you Becky and the boys said it would be cool if we were married you would be Becky Beck! Hope you are well. I have lived here for years in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, the love of my life. I dedicate my life to writing entertainment articles on many shows held here, restaurants and the chefs and food and life information in our part of this town. Just added Gardening and Local Plants and Flowers. Never quit.

Well, I am still alive. Salmonella didn't get me, now I have CoronaVirus to watch. I am high risk, top5%: 70yo+, history of lung and heart problems, pulmonary hypertension and a few others. My end could be near and no party to attend. Show season came to an abrupt end. I only lost five shows so am pleased this mess did not happen earlier! Some groups are conducting Facebook concerts online. I will try to figure out how it works.

The town is shut down 75%. Most restaurants closed except takeout, all bars and shops which are not essential, streets empty, traffic low. The airport is packed one direction...out. Set record for most departing people in one day. Canadians in particular changed flights due to fears of able to enter Canada or suffered flight cancelations. Most people I know are hunkered inside, maybe taking a short solo walk. TG Costco was open. Went Fri. AM. Not sure if La Comer delivers from their deli - if it is even still operating. Unsure of Costco's plans but their stock was full. I never saw so much TP for sale in one place. An entire row of the 12-packs. I have enough meds since I stocked up for two months.

Cleaning drawers and closets. We had a brownout and needed to move a cord. I am stuck due to contact - not wanting to order eyeglasses from Costco nor have teeth cleaned right now. Won't need white shinies. My friends whom I see, which are not numerous, stay six feet max apart. I have a bottle of portable cleaner to take anywhere with me along with a couple of wipes for my hands and face.

I am curious about how you are coping and what is affecting your daily life.
