Thanksgiving 2015

Somebody has to do it!

Here's our view of Banderas Bay the week of Thanksgiving.  Another one of those sunsets.  They never get old!

This is the view from the balcony of our condo - looking west - if we could see that far,and if the world was flat - we could probably see Hawaii way out there!

And this was Thanksgiving Dinner at La Terraza - Vallarta Marina!

Pumpkin pie and stuffin' is comin' one of these days.


Report on Connie's victorious 10K run coming soon.  Stay tuned!

Cheesy Problem

Amidst all the furor over baseball playoffs, Hurricane Patricia, shootings and stabbings comes this, an issue that must be resolved:

SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania manufacturer is accused of selling imitation Parmesan and Romano cheese that actually contained other cheeses, including cheddar and Swiss.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports (http://bit.ly/1QTknrC ) Universal Cheese & Drying Inc. and International Packing LLC were charged Tuesday with conspiracy.

Prosecutors say the cheeses labeled as "real" Parmesan and Romano didn't conform to U.S. Food and Drug Administration standards and contained trims of other cheeses.

Michelle Myrter, president of Castle Cheese Inc. and a corporate officer in both of the other companies, is charged with the misdemeanor of aiding and abetting the introduction of misbranded and adulterated food.

Her attorney, Stephen Stallings, says Myrter has a plea agreement that involves probation for her and $500,000 in restitution and forfeitures for each of the companies.

USS Albuquerque

The USS Albuquerque is headed for the dry dock.

Decommissioning for the ship is just around the corner.

A number of Albuquerque folks have been on board the "boat" since she was commissioned in 1983.

Among them, Connie Beimer.

On this Throwback Thursday, here are a couple of photos from that visit as "the boat" was docked in Florida.
