Ladybug Creek: Missing Mexico

I am married to the most wonderful man who I've known more years than I have not! We recently celebrated our 41 years of marriage.
Our oldest son is our business partner. We farm in Mexico, growing papaya, honeydew and person-size watermelon. We travel back and forth to Mexico to take care of our business. This son is married and has two children. He lives in Mexico to oversee the business.
Our middle son works for Clinical Pathology Lab. His wife is a doctor and recently opened her cosmetic dermatology clinic in Houston.
Our youngest son is a realtor in McAllen, Texas, near where we live. He loves his work and his business is steadily growing.
We lived in Mexico for three years to get our farming operation going. It was an exciting time for us!
My hobbies are genealogy, home decorating and cooking. I love blogging!
I am so very blessed to have a loving family... not only the family my husband and I created, but also my family of friends.
Fall and winter months are when I enjoy blogging the most. Seasons change and I love keeping up with the change in my home.
I have had some amazing experiences with my faith in Christ and I truly feel that God is always with me. I try to live my life the way God would have me live it.

Missing Mexico

Missing Mexico

I'm missing Mexico tonight... and the people we love who are there. Our oldest son, his wife and two children are the

light of our lives. Although our granddaughter is now seven

and this picture was taken when she was two, I just always think in my mind that she is "2"!

I miss our ranch home there. The flowers are beautiful and

the sunsets are divine.

Our next project is to have the water hooked up to the

"aquaducto", so that as you enter the property there

will be water falls on each side of the entry way.

Hopefully March will find us down there.

None too soon enough....

I love Mosaic Mondays at

Little Red House!!

Kuki... said...: Hi Karen...
I can relate...our first grandchild was born 12-31-10. Unfortunately, the new little family resides in NC. My son-in-law is a Marine, so the proximity issue won't likely improve. I'm relatively new to blogging - would love for you to drop by my blog...I'm looking forward to following yours.; February 21, 2011 at 6:00 AM

How wonderful to have a ranch home there...would love to see pictures! Love the idea of waterfalls on each side of the entrance...sounds magical!

Have a beautiful day, my friend!

I want to see more pictures of your home there, waterfalls, oh my, it is just so beautiful already and with waterfalls at the entry, it'll be gorgeous! What a place for family gatherings.
