Friday ~The Weekend Is Here

 I've got that Friday feeling...

Sniff and my little feral kitties were running low 
on foodies.  Petsmart sure is a life saver.  Unfortunately,
 here in Puerto Rico I cannot order from Chewy.  Chewy 
does not deliver in Puerto Rico, but PetSmart and 
Chewy offer the same foddies Sniff eats 🙌.

Arvid always asks why I buy so much cat food, but even so he 

is always there to help me carry it up to our apartment. This is

 probably one of the few times we actually use the elevator. 

 Otherwise it's just the steps for us.  Not that many really.  

Friday is looking quiet. dark clouds and very windy.

  A very good day to sit out on the balcony.  Enjoy the view 

and each others company. That is also very nice.

Yesterday we went to Luquillo.  We ad lunch and some.  

Unfortunately it rained quite heavily.  We were not able 

to do much walking around and checking out the beach.

  There is always another time, looking forward to it.

As a child growing up in Puerto Rico the beach was 

where we went every weekend.  Puerto Ricans love the 

water and if they could live permanently on the beach and

 be in the water all day long they would.  And we were 

raised also going to the beach every chance possible.

Puerto Rico has many many beaches and one we

 always loved going to was Luquillo.  We enjoyed going

 to the kiosks afterwards for fruit.  We grew up in the tropics,

 and for us having a coconut regularly was a common thing.  

I really miss those days, but happy to be experiencing

 it once again with Arvid.  I see it with different eyes. 😍

Luquillo and the Kiosks were all destroyed by hurricane 

Maria.  It's slowly starting to take shape again, and then

 with the pandemic progress stopped.  Once again it looks

 like rebuilding is happening. Everyone loves Luquillo.

To all a good day.  As my sister says every Friday, :time to do the Friday dance."

Forget about all the bad things that happened to

 you this week and just have a great weekend...

Their Last Day ~

💙 Home is the nicest word there is💙...

It's goodbye 💚 to Michelle and family today.  

Goodbyes are always bittersweet, but at the same 

time the little ones are happy to be going home as is

 Michelle and Emil.  Nowhere like home.  Aleah 

looks forward to sleeping in her own bed.

We saw them all yesterday for a little.  The girls

 were swimming in the pool for hours.  Their energy 

level is one of a kind.  It was a special time to just 

watch them laughing and having a good time.

Arvid is getting all excited again about our trip to 

Puerto Rico.  The last few days it's all he talks about.  

Already he has an "agenda" for us.  Like I said, 'I'm in 

for the ride because I know it is only temporary."

With Arvid you never know what will catch his fancy next. 

 For now it is Puerto Rico again.  I'm happy for that.

After dropping Michelle and family off to the airport later 

today, Arvid said he might still catch the last half of the 

soccer game.  He loves his soccer.  All that being

 said, we are going to 💖 miss those two little faces.

Victoria and Michael still have time left here🥰.

Good morning everyone.  It's a beautiful day here. 

 One day closer to our trip in Puerto Rico.  One day closer

 to seeing Nirvana. She has been very sick so we 

are looking forward to checking in on her.

Think of your family today and every day thereafter, 

don’t let the busy world of today keep you from showing 

how much you love and appreciate your family...
