I know that for most of you, life has moved past the holidays, but things have just begun to get back to normal here. The holidays in Playa began on December 16 and went straight through til January 6th!

This month I celebrated my 53rd birthday and truthfully, birthdays don't bother me, nor are they a huge deal either. But this year, I had my son with me, so it was extremely special, and just when I thought

Hi everyone! We had such a fantastic week with our son Patrick, and Brian managed the week like a real trooper! My son works in the hospitality industry and has to stay clean shaven, so this week he said,

Nope. This is not fiction. I had a pretty solid sleep last night, so when I awoke at 7 am, I thought, hmm not bad, because my sleep patterns are irregular at best, and non-existent at worst. I was going

Our landlord took us to a little restaurant outside of Playa Del Carmen called Le Pe Tita en la Playita, which translates to The Little One at the Beach. Sounds a whole lot cuter in Spanish, doesn't it?

Happy Friday everyone :) I have been loving this new place of ours, and my days have been filled with all kinds of new and exciting things. I've been noticing cruise ships at Cozumel; they dock there and

Welcome to our new home everyone! Brian and I both feel like we hit the jackpot with this one :) Here's the view from the street. The owner of this place is an artist, among so many other things, so all

I was very excited about my return to steemit today! We woke up feeling great, the sun was shining, and @briancourteau was in a poetic mood, so he wrote this beautiful poem for me; A poem to my best friend
