I like to make pancakes. They were the first item that I learned how to fix on my own. I was 15 yrs old and a nanny to 3 young boys. One day their mom turned her head toward me as she was running out the door to work and told me to make some … Continue reading
Kicking the Bucket List
As the Washington Nationals drew closer to the reality of their first ever World Series appearance Don and I began to toy with the “What ifs?” Like, “What if it’s the Yankees and the Nats in the World Series?” “How cool would that be to attend?” For us die hard Yankees fans who happen to … Continue reading

I think of Independence Day as the beginning of the end of summer. My garden is in full bloom, my spring crops are on their last legs, the summer bounty is almost pickable and we have just returned from our family beach retreat. We headed off last week to Kill Devil Hills, NC coming into … Continue reading
Sailing Through Life Together
There’s something about your youngest getting married that turns the page on a generation. My grandsons were groomsmen and were amazing sentinels who ushered their uncle into his new life.

Happy New Year! Yes, it’s been a while and probably would’ve been even longer but I finally mustered up the courage to tackle this post. This blog is created through WordPress and they recently changed their editing system to something totally unfamiliar to me. Finally, today my resistance was low and after a quick YouTube … Continue reading
Native American
The indigenous people occupying Puerto Rico when Columbus arrived were a culture whose language similarities suggest they were related to the Arawak (Arhuaco) tribes of South America, specifically those from the Orinoco River delta in eastern Venezuela. They called themselves the “Taino” (meaning: relatives), possibly to distinguish themselves from other Carribean tribes. It was widely … Continue reading
Need Beach, Will Travel.
We deferred our usual Summer beach visit this year knowing that we were heading to Puerto Rico. For me, it’s just not summer if I’m not laying in sand somewhere and frollicking in the waves. The area of San Juan where we are headquarted is a resort area called, Condado. Each morning we rise and … Continue reading
