What a day on the Island looks like!

Three full days spent on Isla Nena! It has been great! We have been able to enjoy our afternoons on the beach. The rain has moved in during the late afternoons forcing us to head into town for an early dinner both days. Yesterday, was the only day that we were not able to really get out and enjoy the water. So we just went around the Island taking pictures. I will be posting those soon.


Two very happy people!







Here is our home away from home. This is Navio. I do love Ababor Suites!




A Jeep lover can't go without their Jeep! Something with 4-wheel drive is a must in these parts. We almost had to use it when trying to get out of a parking place!






I feel it is necessary to enjoy the morning coffee on the beach!





This is where I like to have my morning coffee. Wonderful and relaxing!





The great driver. He will go anywhere!






A great place to stock up on supplies.






And now you know what kind of supplies were needed!






The first afternoon was spent on Playa Plata. This was our favorite beach last year. There were a few people on the beach. I am sure it was because it was the weekend. Last year, we did not find this beach until our last day which was on Friday, and no one was on this beach!






And the rain says it's time to pack it up! It's not always sunny in paradise...






And the rain sends you to seek shelter. My view from my favorite bar stool at Duffy's.






On my favorite list of beers. This is brewed by Old Harbor Brewery in San Juan. They have a nice brewery/brew pub in Old San Juan. We did visit it last year.

Heaven...We are here...

So excited to be sitting in our little piece of heavan. We have been here long enough to realize that Air Tran has re-defined the term gate-check, find the entire SEC Conferenece in the bottom of the San Juan Airport, have an adventure in picking up the rental Jeep, make new friends (imagine that!), find standing water in Navio that requires Jason to clean it up...find the problem...and fix it..., people saying that we as a family need to be quoted with our expressions, and end up at Duffy's two extremely happy people! Love hearing the waves as I type...

Jason should be quoted with his reply to the leak at Navio...Lionel said,"...happens!" Jason said, "Let's be honest we both know SHIT HAPPENS. SHIT just follows me!!!" Jason then offerred him a Medalla. Love, love Vieques!

So Summer Has Arrived!

That's right and no better way to start it than with a trip to see Kenny Chesney! It was awesome! One of the best concerts I have seen!

And today marks the week count down to Vieques! I am so ready to get lost in my thoughts on a beach!!!!

Progress on a Favorite Project

So the patio has been cut away from the house. We have some big changes coming to the yard! I have been planning this one for a long time. I cannot wait to see how it turns out!

Oh my, my to-do list!

So I was just looking at my to-do list that I put to paper last week. It is just a quick jot list of items that I wanted to accomplish last weekend. I just discovered that of the 9 items listed - I only accomplished 2 of them! So sad, and they were not even big items! I have got to do something about this!

On another note, the plum tree is covered in plums and little grapes have appeared on the muscadines! So here we come summer ready or not!

We met another neighbor in the hood last night while we were walking around the yard. I love our little Burgess community!

Weekend Yet?

Oh, I am so ready for the weekend! It seems that I live for the weekends more and more. So sad I know! The projects around the house just keep mounting up higher and higher. At least it keeps a person busy.

I am trying to think of my list of things that I want to accomplish this weekend. I need to start putting these to paper. Maybe then I will actually complete them!
