Wet Wednesday In Puerto Rico ~

 Rain hangs about the place, like a friendly ghost.

 if it's not coming down in delicate droplets, then 

it's in buckets; and if neither, it tends to 

lurk suspiciously in the atmosphere...

Beautiful yet stormy days is what we have been 

experiencing for quite some time now.  Arvid and I usually 

sit on the balcony in the afternoons, but it's been over

 a week now we have not been able to do so 😱

Yesterday we celebrated our 19th Anniversary at home. 

 Very nice and quiet.  It rained all day long so we just stayed in. 

 Arvid watched some soccer and I enjoyed a little reading.

The sun never showed up yesterday.  Today not

 looking any better, but like I am usually told, at least

 it's warm.  Yes, it is warm.  Very much so 🌞

I have been lucky that in the mornings when I go out to

 walk it is not raining heavily.  At least not when I start out. 

 I enjoy my walks, but also I have to go because

 the kitties are waiting for their food 🐈🍤.

  Yesterday I managed to give them food before the

 torrential rains began.  Yes, I got soaked, but didn't matter. 

 They were fed and happy as was I.  I don't mind the

 rain as long as my phone is protected 📱.

With all of this rain, Arvid is creating chores to do

 while we stay in.  He has to always stay busy.  Me too.

  Also the grounds are so fertile right now that beautiful

🍄 mushrooms are growing.  I wonder if they are edible.

Arvid is a happy camper.  Sometimes when he 

watches soccer he takes a little snooze.  And I'm right

 there to capture the moment.  He's not always thrilled 

about it, but I am.  The look on his face is priceless.

More rain awaits us, but if we were back home in

 Fort Lauderdale it won't be any different.  In fact Fort 

Lauderdale has had 86.57 inches of rain in 2020, which

 is already 24.39 inches more than a normal year.

 A man walks a flooded street in his Fort Lauderdale

 neighborhood Monday. Tropical Storm Eta caused 

severe flooding in South Florida in areas already 

saturated from previous downpours.  No bueno.

As of right now, Miami and Fort Lauderdale have shattered

 annual rainfall totals. Residents walk a flooded street to reach 

their homes,  Monday, Nov. 9, 2020 in Fort Lauderdale,

There is a new tropical storm hovering around the area.

  All this means is that the rain is not yet over.  Wishing

 everyone a happy Wednesday.  Hopefully dryer than what

 we are having.  Now it's time for some dry weather again.

A single gentle rain makes the grass many shades greener...

Friday Vibes In Puerto Rico ~

If a fellow isn't thankful for what he's got, he isn't

 likely to be thankful for what he's going to get...

  Our day is already starting to look good. Sniff has been fed, 

brushed and played with.  Now he is just relaxing in the morning 

sunshine.  Getting one of those famous cat-naps. He is one of 

those happy boys.  he's getting more used to his new home.

Yesterday Arvid and I ventured out again to the beach area.

  We have decided that we will be checking out all the little 

restaurants in the area.  Not fancy at all.  Many look like 

a shack, but the food is something else.  In each of these

 so called "shacks" you can find all your favorite 🍹

frozen drinks.  Made as you wait.  We love, love it.

Today we go to San Juan.  Happy about that because

 every time we go is another chance to meet up with my

 sister and Kimsy.  I love the fact that I am close to my sister. 

 Fajardo, where we live has all we need, but if you want

 nightlife, shopping and a few extras, San Juan is where you want

 to be.  We like it here because it's quiet and almost no traffic.

Good morning all.  The weekend is soon upon us,

and here in Puerto Rico we can enjoy life a little more.

  We have enjoyed eating out again and we love the 

blue turquoise Caribbean waters that surround us 💙.

Things turn out best for people who make the best 

of the way things turn out.  In life, one has a choice

 to take one of two paths: to wait for some special

 day--or to celebrate each special day...

Tuesday June 16th ~

Some people feel the rain, others just get wet...

By the end of yesterday not did it only rain,

 but it rained like crazy.  Thunder and lightning.  

First the sky started turning very dark ⧭.

Soon after the rain cam down like never before.  

With it came thunder and lightning.  This lasted for

 quite some time.  Summertime in Florida 🤣.

I told Arvid it was a good time to get the broom

 and clean the balcony never thinking he would actually

 do it.  He does not like the rain, but he did get the broom,

 and he did sweep.  Now the balcony is clean again.

While all of this was going on, I was making

 sure I got lots of pictures and videos.  In the videos

 you can hear the thunder going on and on 🗲🌩.

Not sure what kind of a day awaits us.  With the 

unpredictability of this weather nothing is for sure. 

 Yesterday because of all the rain, Arvid and I walked in 

the garage.  We went up and down the 5 levels a few times. 

 Not bad, but always better with our "real" walks.

Last night the colors in the sky kept changing all the time.

Arvid as usual is always relaxed.  No matter what's 

going on.  He cool as a cucumber, while Sniff and I are 

in constant movement.  They say opposites attract.

A new day begins.  Always make the most of every 

opportunity that presents. And yesterday as the sun sets..

Each new day has a different shape to it.  You just roll with it...
