I'm So Full!!

Take a bunch of people (who happen to be related)who love good food and set them loose on Culebra. Hide scales.

In between is a lot of porch time and beach time. It's like being on holiday at home. That works.

My family loves good food. We love to go out for good food. We also love to cook. There's been a lot of both going on up here on the hill and, not unlike a night of being over served, I'm starting to think maybe never eating again is in order.

Deeeeeelicious!

Lechon from those guys. Churrasco from Milka's. Lamb from the big island. Spaghetti because there was still beef from the burgers one night. 

We hit Dinghy Dock en masse on Super Bowl Sunday, fish and steaks and much more that I can't remember. What I do remember was Sarah and Ouasha proudly telling me they ate the fish eyes (tastes like chicken liver, according to Sarah). I think that could help with my temporary food ban.

Over here! Over there!

Susie's was excellent as ever. Thanks to all the great people who handled our movable feast.

This was not a selfie. Thanks to our server, sorry we didn't stay still!

O getting a lesson in the fine art of corkage.

There really are more beach photos but this is the best I can do for now. Family time is filling!

Have a take it to the top Tuesday. Do something throughly.

Simple Sunday ~ Culebra

Apprehending impressions

Seductive allure

Enchanted Island

Far too long away, once again, trapped in the still unresolved world of bad connections. So once again, this is a time of catching up until the now. Groundhog's Day came and went, Francie and Little Pat have come and gone, along with Sue and Tuck, Susie's 8th Anniversary party happened, family has arrived and the weather is changing, Spring days moving a pace toward us. Or we toward them. Either way, time goes on. Yes it does.

Francie and Pat's farewell party at Zaco's

Because kittens are cute

Until next time!
(we were really laughing about a video of some Janis Joplin
singing and dancing at The Spot from the night before.

Congratulations, Susie! 8 years!

Some sidewalk dancing

Inbetween eating and laughing and general carrying on while catching up, the quiet life continues.

And then there was family. Some in my family haven't seen each other in years, with busy lives and long distances between us. We're missing Michelle, Sloane and Grayson but next time! They are with us in spirit.

Hello, Elijah, Allie, O and baby!

And then Sarah was in on the next flight.
Time to start herding cats.

It's like summertime for them, here on Culebra

Because she's just too cute.

O thought we'd never get to the beach, but we did!

Dinner time! Elijah made a great one, including some amazing tostones.

 
Belly up to the table, baby!

Then, there was Uncle Jonny, on the way!

Nice landing!

Hi, Jonny!

Sarah and Jonny reunite

Jonny meets his grandniece

Yes! Back at the beach again!

"I love it here, it's like another country!" O

Everybody in the pool!

Baby steps

I finally put down the camera and came in.
"My whole family is in the ocean!" O

Here's how we do this.

Buddha baby beachin' it

Dinner would come but for now, baby decided it was time to make another move toward crawling. 

Enough cuteness with your coffee. Time to move this adventure to the next level.

Have a serene Saturday. Do something saturating.
