Subject: Hello from Puerto Vallarta

Garnet  and I thought you might enjoy this.  ALso I will try to attach a picture of a hazzard on the 6th hole of the golf course accross from our condo developement.  I walk beside this golf course each time I go grocery shopping.

Take care and hope winter isn't being too hard on you folks.

Marie

=====
. . . we are not suffering from Global warming.

The ice wine festival is on after we had very
cold temperatures.

There was a foot of snow on the garbage pail
when I ventured out that far yesterday.

I''ll put your note on the Digest. Why should
we be the only ones to break One of the Ten
and covet where you are?

Hi again - it is so neat when I send someone an e-mail from Puerto Vallarta Mexico and they reply right back from Ontario - modern technology is fantastic.

Marie

PS  (from Garnet) covet away Dude  It won't do you any good anyway - you'll still be burried under snow
