Fun Monday – “How I met your father”
As some of you might recognize, my post title is a take-off from the series "How I Met Your Mother", now in its sophomore season. Although our story nowhere near approximates the adventures of the title characters Ted and Robin, the show got my...
Fun Monday ~ October Views
We have an hour to kill while we wait for the first leg of our three-flight trip home, so I’m pretty thankful for free airport wi-fi…have I mentioned I H.A.T.E. to fly :/?? Writing will help me not think about it. Since we knew the Fun Monday...
Can we start from the beginning…?
This was a shot of me and Tad minutes after we arrived at Hermitage Bay on Monday. In spite of the 40-minute INSANE taxi ride from the airport…in spite of having sweated through the streets of Old San Juan earlier in the day, don’t we look giddy...

Living Years, conclusion
(If you have time, this will probably make more sense if you read it in the order it was written. Part One, Part Two) I wasn’t there that morning When my Father passed away I didn’t get to tell him All the things I had to say Looking back, my...
