i am hoping you can help us help the Cruz Roja here on Isla Mujeres!

they need items here on the island on a regular basis, and right now, this is what they are asking for:

stethascopes
blood pressure monitors
glucose testers
splints
gauze
dressings

they need a LOT of these items!

if you are able to bring these items, you can bring them to the Cruz Roja in La Gloria, or just send me an e-mail at jimbo@buenavistaservices.com.mx and you can drop them off at our Casa Roca Caribe and we will take them for you.

thank you in advance for helping!

i sure am thankful i am not a turkey today…

but if i was a turkey and i was still alive, i would be very thankful i guess…

but i would also be busy going to a lot of funerals for my friends…

we are getting our street repaved today!

what a GREAT surprise!

i think they will be done in a day or so…

very cool!
