Hi Marie,
My name is Trenie Penrod and a recent member of ExPats. I am also from the Northwest (Oregon) and I chose PV Mexico to retire due to the fact that my family lives on the West coast. I was wondering if you are going to the “happy hour” on the 29th of April from 5 to 7 pm.?
I moved here the end of 2013 and have known about this club for the past 2 weeks. Are you possibly interested in having “lunch” or meeting at Saturday market (or ?) prior to the meeting? I’m sure that I can put on my big girl panties (lol) and go to the happy hour by myself. After all a good part of life is the unknown adventure that is right around every corner waiting for us to trip over. Knowing one other person would offer me a bit of confidence, but then I’m sure a nice cold margarita just may serve the same purpose. HA
If we wind up missing each other prior to the 29th, I hope to see you there, Trenie
