the new guy on the block

so the small town that we live in is growing or atleast the surrounding area is growing. we recently got a Lowes and Joe Canal Liquor and Hollywood Tan in Rio Grande which is about 8 miles from our house. The one that is causing a big fuss is Hollywood Tan...people are so excited to be able to tan for $19.99 per month. This became evident to me a few weeks ago and then again today when we were shopping for a surfboard the ladies in the store were having an indepth conversation about the hollywood tan place...it made me giggle.

Hey Melissa Mae, it's funny how so many Americans want to get darker of the skin, and in Mexico where people is mostly dark of the skin, they try not to bask in the sun too much to avoid getting darker, as light skins call the attention more.

Related to me, I'm very light for a Mexican and I guess I have become more pale since I came to this city where there are not so many sunny days. So my hubby & I look very pale, but we feel ok about our color.

Hey Melissa Mae, I don't know if those tanning reatments can cause damage or cancer to the skin, as those appliances work giving radiations. What do you think?

Ok, I just got done posting comments to all your recent posts including the one of your business logo, and now I'm going back to study. Take care.

God bless.

Your Mexican friend,

Gabriela.

In response to Who is Parsons Brown???

attacking someone on their web site isnt very nice. but just in case anonymous wants to know i did not know parson brown was a minister and i dont think i have ever heard that in a sermon..so i am not sure how being a devout church member has anything to do with this song. and i wasnt trying to ruin CHRISTMAS!! i never thought about the meaning until someone else brought it up and i always thought parson brown was just a color...and to tell you the truth i never thought anything sexual about the song and in re-reading my post there is not a mention of the "questionable" part of the song being about anything sexual...well everyone is entitled to their opinions. sorry if i offeneded anyone it was not meant to be offensive. merry christmas.

landing in atlantic city

so when i flew in from california i had a window seat and when the plane came around the southern tip of new jersey as it always does i saw the cape may light house and then all around for miles i saw the most beautiful sight! it looked like new jersey was on fire...actually like there were many small fires in patches as far as i could see. since ther was no smoke i knew it wasnt fire. the autumn leaves had all begun turning before i left but it was dark when i took off and i didnt have a window seat...so the landing was spectacular!! i cant even begin to explain how cool it was to see fall from the air. i have been wanting to type this since i got back but just havent had time. if you have never seen fall...i mean the fall where all the trees leaves turn and then begin to fall you should consider coming to visit us in the fall...another cool thing is when you drive down the street the leaves are falling and every once in a while it is like the sky is raining orange, red and yellow lea
