WHAT SNOW?? WE ARE HAVING FUN!!!

We ARE in the U.S. Virgin Islands.. there are many

islands that make up the whole.

What Fun!!

Today we are taking a horseback ride on one of the many

tours they have.  Joe has ridden ahead of us, I would

know that hat and shorts anywhere! 

Cindy, Beth, Carole and I made plans to shop in the duty free stores

 

and some

went to visit the sugar plantation on St Croix and have dinner

at a place called the Harbormaster Beach Club.

 There is a beach

barbeque floor show that can’t be beat!  Ohhh the beat of

that steel band was wonderful too.

Word comes from the cold cold country that snow is really

piling up. A smile comes to your face as you sit and watch

the sunset over the beach after a wonderful warm day.

Long day.... tomorrow I hear someone is impatient to

get on the boat and go fishing.. wonder who that could

be?? LOL

What a view.... that can’t be beat.. See you tomorrow....

WHERE THE HECK ARE WE???

We are in a great place, ready for new adventures.

We are definitely on an island.. just look at that
view Ahhhhhhhhh it looks great!! I almost
thought we wouldn’t make it because someone
left their ID and we had to go back for it. ( Not saying
who, but the mind has been elsewhere lately..)
Anyway.. boy that heat feels good!! We got a ton of beaches

and neat places to eat and explore. Not a lot of tourists

to deal with so we can have the place to ourselves.

 

I rename this place BLOGGERS  BEACH.. LOL It is NOT

Hawaii, or Florida, or Ca. Can you guess where???

We can take a  break from the tanning process and wave watching and

walk over to that white building. It’s a CASINO!! Let’s try our luck and

see who can win the most with the least amount of money wagered! 

Just checked the weather here it is a balmy 74 degrees and wonderful.

Beats the snow reports back home.. I know we will love it!! 

Hey what happened to Sherry??.. I heard she got lucky at the crap table!!.

ACKkk 

who the heck is parasailing over my beach?? Oh.. maybe that is JOE

he said he wanted an adventure.. watch out Joe, the landing can be a

doozy!! 

Wonder what is on the agenda for tomorrow…oh well it is better than

home that is for sure…

HAVE FUN!!

CABIN FEVER..

Literally been days since I have been out and about and so I think I have come down with "cabin fever" defined as "Noun....

Irritability, listlessness, and similar symptoms resulting from long confinement or isolation indoors during the winter." The sun has only been out briefly in over ten days and a snow storm is approaching. Makes me want to  G E T  A W A Y.... time for my virtual vacation. I used to do this at Spaces and it was pretty popular so here we go...

Ahhhhhhh  the smell of the ocean and the roar of the waves.. my kind of vacation..

wondering what tomorrow will bring...stay tuned.....

HELL HOUSE 2013

HELL HOUSE ..that's what I used to call the house next door to us where I used to live. What with drug dealers and critters living in it after it was abandoned there was plenty of reason to call it that. The whole neighborhood was on a rampage to have the house torn down or remodeled. While I  still lived there some nice folks bought it and re-modeled it and moved in. The neighborhood was saved UNTIL..mom passed away and we had to give up the old house. It took me months to clean it out and leave that old place. It had been in our family 60 plus years. 

NOW there is another HELL HOUSE..it's OUR old house. The house sat until someone finally bought it for a very reduced price. Neighbors were happy UNTIL....they found out that our house was being used for a loud rock band to play in the garage and the people who bought it were not so very nice. Our old house needed a new roof and many repairs.  The roof was repaired, but a whole lot of the house was left to go unattended. Neighbors called the police numerous times over the noise and had lots of run-ins over this and that. This is how the house looks now..quite the difference

They took out the bushes in the front and trimmed the old pine tree up, tore up the backyard and park cars in it and the yard. New owners are entitled to do as they please I tell everyone who tells me things. It's THEIR house now.  It's sad that the place has to be a problem for others though. I tell them things could be worse at least it is occupied. Life goes on, but inside that old house the spirit of my parents and all the hard work they put into it still lingers. The floors still creak and the doors open and shut on their own, lights flicker and noises are heard once in awhile. I hope the new owner is used to them by now. 

SPRING BARN

 OH MY I'm so very grateful and happy to see so many new comments on my Summer Barn photo. Thanks a million.. I thought I would post another view of it since so much of it was cut out.  The second or third roof on it is just now sagging with time.About half of it is still used for storage and as a garage. These were taken in June before the vines started turning color as in the  previous post. We thought the vines were poison ivy but turned out they weren't. Glad to know it because they grew all over it as you can see by the picture below. We haven't had a lot of snow yet this winter and I am still waiting to take a WINTER picture of it.
