I have the perfect gift for you. Just what everyone in Baja needs. :yes:

A free manicure when you next come to Mulege. At my friend, Denise's, salon. Just tell her Tio Rogelio sent you.

Check out mine..not a single hangnail to be found anymore. :rolleyes:

WISH I WAS THERE TO CELEBRATE!

SHARI


Estas son las mañanitas
que cantaba el rey David.
Hoy por ser dia de tu santo
te las cantamos a ti.

Despierta, mi bien, despierta;
mira que ya amaneció.
Ya los pajaritos cantan;
la luna ya se metió

Que linda está la manãna
en que vengo a saludarte;
venimos todos con gusto
y plazer a felicitarte.

El dia en que tu naciste
Nacieron todas las flores
En la fila del bautizmo
cantaron los Ruiseñores

Ya viene amaneciendo
Ya la luz del dia nos dio
Levántate de mañana
mira que ya amaneció

Si yo pudiera bajarte
las estrellas y un lucero
para poder demostrarte
lo mucho que yo te quiero

Con jazmines y flores
Este dia quiero acordar
Hoy por ser dia de tu santo
Te venimos a cantar.

shari - 3-3-2010 at 08:16 AM

Mil gracias amigos...It's been a wonderful day so far...a dawn walk...picked some new wildflowers...then as the sun was coming up, tio Javier called from San Ignacio where he is tending a sick mom...he sang me Las Mañanitas ever so sweetly....(It's my party and I'll cry if I want to) and Sirena got home just in time to celebrate with me.

I have been blessed with such a wonderful family, loving friends and pets and am honoured to live in this magnificent place...thank you all for thinking of me....

Pomp...I've never had a manicure so I cant wait!
Dear Dennis....been awhile since I saw Topo Gigo! thanks
Barbareno...I'm gonna start the day with a Paralyser in honour of you!
Gypsy...then move to a breakfast Ceasar to cheer you!

look forward to blowing out the candles to make my wish!

Diver - 3-3-2010 at 08:28 AM

SiReNiTa - 3-3-2010 at 09:16 AM

Did we start counting backwords yet???
I'm happy that I have the opportunity to greet and celebrate this new part of your life right here beside you. May you live many many more years so we can all enjoy your bubbly personality and huge care for everything you do. You are a roll model if there ever was one =D!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMMA!!!!!

My Miracle Mother

Mom, I look at you
and see a walking miracle.
Your unfailing love without limit,
your ability to soothe my every hurt,
the way you are on duty, unselfishly,
every hour, every day,
makes me so grateful
that I am yours, and you are mine.
With open arms and open heart,
with enduring patience and inner strength,
you gave so much for me,
sometimes at your expense.
You are my teacher,
my comforter, my encourager,
appreciating all, forgiving all.
Sometimes I took you for granted, Mom,
but I don’t now, and I never will again.
I know that everything I am today
relates to you and your loving care.
I gaze in wonder
as I watch you being you—
my miracle, my mother.

By Joanna Fuchs

P.S. here are a few suggestions for your B-Day:


1-Make sure when you blow out the candles they don't blow you up first!!


2-Make sure pepper doesn't run off with the cake!


3-And for the love of all that is good don't....aaaaaaaah never mind drink all you want, have a blast and dance your little butt off! (just don't end up like this dude)


So happy birthday!!! Can't wait to start the party!!

Shari

Happy Birthday, I did not know it was near.

I (we, Ron and I) had a great time at your place over the weekend.:tumble:

I did bring you a bottle of wine and had a total brain failure and forgot to give it to you. I guess I'll have to come again soon and bring it.

Happy B-day Shari!!

I know I am a day late on my wishes and your probably nursing a beautiful hangover, but I hope you had another birthday to remember, and the hangover isn't too bad:?:

That post a few back about Juan in a thong is really throwing me off my train of thought. He doesn't look like a budgie smuggler, but ya never know.:lol:

Seven years ago.

Meeting Shari was one of those life changing moments, we didn't know it at that moment, but we would soon find out. VW bus just broke down, crackhead mechanics working on it, very little money, starting to think it was going to be the trip from hell, out of nowhere drives this beautiful baja baked bombshell to introduce herself and meet us because we are decked in canadian gear and well she is just the nicest, sweetest, most amazing social butterfly I will ever meet. She single handedly turned our soon to be hell trip into the most amazing baja adventure I ever could have imagined. The people(serena and juan(they had just started dating)), the places(san Roque), the food(sea snail ceviche, her home made tortillas and lobster, the parties( on the beach around the fire), the energy she built backup in us, are and is amazing. We realized we had met an angel.

Now for the last seven years, there hasn't been a night Billy and I have been together, on our way to having a few to many, that this angel named Shari hasn't been the center of our prayers and dreams to one day see again. Wondering if she would remember us like we remember her and all the great times she brought us. We both swore that one day we would go back to Baja and meet up with our angel once again.

Well seven years later came.

Billy, my beautiful (pregant with our baby boy) wife, and I said it must be done. So off to baja we went.
Drove into Gruerro Nergo and the fist person we saw(owner of a taco stand) we asked if they knew a Shari, and halfway through Bondy she said SHARI!! of coarse I know Shari!! She is my friend and lives in Asuncion with Juan. We thought wow this might be easy, but who knows how hard it will be to find her there. First person we see in Asuncion at 9 at night, we didn't even have to say anything. They must know where to send the gringos. Drove up and he took one look at us and said Shari? We smiled and he pointed us in the right direction. It was amazing!!

So after seven years we open the door to her house and it was like we never left! Our Angel remembered us!! And took us in like we were all her children. It was a short but sweet visit. Shari pulled out the pictures of our last journey, and any story without a picture was brought back instantly after some beer and camp fire smoke. Before we knew it Shari had invited the other canadians over and the party began. She hooked up fishing with Juan at the drop of a hat (Great fishing, best lunch I have ever had). And made us her now world famous fish ball soup and chocolate tofu pudding for dessert! OMG!!! AMAZING!! Again meeting up with Shari was by far the best part of our trip.

Seeing you again Shari was like watching the olympic flames being lit. You lit the flame of life in me again. You are the most amazingly positive person I have ever had the privilege of meeting and I thank you for everythinig you did for us while we were hanging with you. You truely are an angel.

With our first little baby boy on the way, I went to baja to get my priorities straight and find the person in me that I have lost due to work and life, and I want to thank you Shari ( my Baja Angel) for helping me find that person inside me again. I swear seeing you again will help me be the father and family man I know I can be. I think I am going to require annual doses though. This once every seven year bull just isn't enough.

You are the best!;D

Happy birthday my beautiful baja angel

May your smile continue to be contagious

Love Bob

shari - 3-4-2010 at 05:34 PM

wow bob....sniff sniff...muchas gracias for your lovely comments. We DID have some fun eh!!!! You guys always ignite my canada flame. We sure look forward to your future visits and getting to turn that new baby into a baja baby....hope to see some of those old mechanic pics soon.

bajafam - 3-4-2010 at 06:35 PM

A day late, but the sentiment is the same. We hope that you had a wonderful birthday...and from the photos, it looks like you did. Too bad we weren't able to join in the fiesta, but we were partying with you in spirit :) Love you, lady!! Can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks!!!! Tentatively April 1st!

I don't know at what age people become self conscious about dancing. But in Latin America it must come later than to the rest of us. At 9PM everyone is dancing. By midnight the teenagers are left dancing. And by morning only the very young are left standing.

This is Alex in Lima, Peru. He couldn't have been older than 4 when I snapped this picture.

P.S. He looks more like pompano than me in this picture.
