Feliz Anos

Ok, a new year ahead of us...I wonder what is in store, excitement is in the bones. Friends have come and gone and their spirit still lingers inspiring (me) to live life to the fullest as possible and be kind..ok...some of my favorite things in the whole world are, my husband Cathal, spending time with AJA, coloring with Hudson Jai, fireworks, swimming, potato salad, cookies, cucumbers, sunshine, fruit drinks, music, a gentle breeze, friends, laughter of children, a smile, a new app, colors, finding a nest, beach combing, giving a gift, a joke. a bike ride, orchids, a call from Mom and Dad, purple, Italian bread, meatballs, strawberries, paper, photographing flowers, people, landscapes, painting in watercolor, sharing, bamboo, swans, a book, old buildings, architecture, a walk in the country, smell of rosemary and lavender, traveling to new places, a watercolor, the ocean, a boat ride, a picnic, ginko leaves, white lights, irises, roses, lilies, nasturtiums, mango leaves, mimosas, margaritas, pine cones, colored stones, driftwood, birds, curly sticks, eggs, lunch with Gayle, campfires with Neil, a hug, photoshop, moss, candles, hammocks, sand castles, almonds, chocolate, shrimp, a nap, lobster, parrots, teddy bears, skirts, lotus, ribbons, the internet, my iphone, my RAV, Edgemere, turkey, mashed potoes, maps, Costa Rica, Greece, London, Amsterdam, Ireland, Scrabble, antiques, blankets, guacomole, butterflies, clouds, lighthouses, humming birds, to be continued...

New Years Eve we had a visitor in our studio here in Costa Rica, my knight in shining armour-my heroe, Cal (always been my heroe).... but again saves the day with his mighty sword-broom and armor-chair and strength, determination to save his lady (me) from the likes of a nasty tarantula. This picture is the document that it really did exist..see that black speck in the corner, it's a gigantic tarantula! Gone out the door..and don't come back!!!! I am sitting on the bed taking pictures....eeeking, he says be quiet your making me nervous! He is the best husband ever.
