THIS IS WHY I LOVE WHERE I LIVE

Of course, you've seen the ads on TV, in magazines and yes Puerto Rico is as beautiful as it all looks! The narrow winding roads lined with pastel colored homes, the steep roughly paved hillsides dotted with clusters of bamboo as thick as your fist, all so beautiful and, all, so beautifully different.

Each time I make that left down the hill, on the way home, the views change with the light, with the wind, and I fall in love all over again.

This is why I love where I live...

ps... all these were taken in the car with my cell phone! i cannot help it i think at least once a day i stop while driving home i stop and remember how very blessed we are.

MOTHERS WEEK IN PR!!

Even though the house isn't and wasn't totally finished last week, mom was here and not only a huge huge help, but a super trooper! It was hot, rainy, muddy, dirty, but definitely fun! We sweated, cleaned, ate, drank, laughed, and I think ate some more! Mothers day I took her on an excursion to the top of the TIPPY TOP of the mountain to have breakfast at one of the best breakfast places around. She took the trip up "white knuckled", "aye yi yi-ing" and "braking" the whole time! It was a definite adventure for her I'm sure, if she had known, would have decided not to take, but in the end the fresh baked breads superior food and the endless views made it soooooo worth while!!

We even had a real puerto rican bar-b-cue at a local "balineiro" sans arroz con guandules but of course with plenty of music and rum!!

And yes thats mom in the picture all cozy with the man next to her!! (lol jk mom) Um, and they aren't waving they are telling me they need more drinks...

I was bartender that day!!

Pictures are worth a thousand words!!

CAN YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE??

This was taken in January....water views abound...perhaps a little trim needed...
