Laughter is an instant vacation
The days are going by without us being aware of it.....so very relaxing and enjoyable. So very different from our lives in Florida. Life here is full of laughter and joy...
Here I wake up and go straight out to the beach for a morning walk and to look at the sunrise while enjoying a good cup of coffee. One of my favorite hobbies while in Eleuthera is collecting shells. They are perfect and make wonderful presents but best of all it relaxes me and I find pure pleasure doing it. We have collected thousands of shells and have made beautiful vases filled of them and given them to all of our relatives. These shells have have traveled all over the United States and to Europe. Pretty soon we will also be taking some to Canada. We both enjoy doing this. There is something about just walking along the beach that makes everything seem so much more relaxing and peaceful....jpg)
Arvid and I are extremely happy out here and more so because we have Brutus with us. Life here is so much simpler. Not too many things to get you upset here. Traffic is light, people are nice and laid back, no fighting any crowds or making lines to get into a place....just the way we like it. As you can tell from every picture of us we are always smiling....there is always something to make us laugh....we always enjoy what we do it does not matter if it's work or play we do it and have a good time at it....
Today we are doing lots of small chores around the house...things we would never do back in the city..pulling weeds, trimming trees, raking the beach, hanging clothes to dry on a line.....we do not have a dryer (by choice)...but we do have a clothes line and it does a wonderful job...here it's back to the basics and having fun at it....when we need a change of pace we go into town for a drink, dinner or to listen to some island music....a favorite in the island is Dr. Seabreeze...Eleuthera's King of Calypso. More info check the link (http://www.eleuthera-map.com/dr-seabreeze-2.htm).
Living in Fort Lauderdale makes getting to Eleuthera very easy. For us it is only 1hr and a half trip by plane. We usually fly in a smaller airplane because it offers one of the most spectacular aerial views. 
Here are some pictures of what our life is when in the islands....Arvid trimming the palm trees basking in the sun...

If you wait to do everything until you're sure it's right, you'll probably never do much of anything.
Live today for tomorrow may never come....
until next time...
