Our older son is in Aruba on a family vacation and sent me this photo. Isn’t the water delicious looking? Last night hubs and I attended a concert in our clubhouse. We were entertained by fabulous harp music and guitar music with singing. It was a fun time. Better yet, we reconnected with friends and neighbors in our building. This afternoon, I have been invited to my friend’s condo for wine and catching up. I will bring the wine. What’s happening with you?

The sea in Aruba is beautiful. I cannot find the photo we have taken in Aruba, we have too many, it's time I arrange them a bit better. Hubby went for medical tests today, everything is fine.

Thank you! Most islands in the Caribbean are so beautiful. I have to organize mine, but it would take me forever. I’d rather spend my time myLotting. So glad to hear your husband’s tests are fine.

Yes, love the color of the water. I often cruise and see that color on my Caribbean cruises. It's amazing!! I am preparing today for my granddaughters visit tomorrow. She is bringing her boyfriend over and we are going out to visit Carriage Hill Farm and then for Pizza, She will graduate college this May and is home on Winter Break. So today I'm baking cookies to serve when they arrive. I'll finish up my Christmas cards also. I always send them late because I like them to arrive close to Christmas.

There is nothing better than being on a Caribbean island or those beautiful beaches or enjoying a cruise through those waters. Sounds like you will have a wonderful visit with your granddaughter and her boyfriend. I’m sure she is a part of that farm’s history, too! Enjoy!

I suppose this is what is meant by the lines,"the blue sea". The catching up sounds fun. For me it has been the train back to work, and exam duties from tomorrow. Will put on an episode of ..the crown.. now

That is just breathtaking! Have you and your husband ever been there? Nothing exciting here. Made a new recipe for dinner here I didn't like called Halushki.

@DianneN it’s cabbage, onions and egg noodles mostly. I do think it’s a polish dish but I am not positive. I saw the recipe on Pinterest. Just very bland really.

No, we haven’t, but it’s now on my list! Well, I won’t make that Halushki then. Is it polish? What’s in it. I’m going to have dinner now. Nothing special except for my meatballs!

Shhh, I'm imagining myself on the deck of the catamaran in the picture preparing for a sail from Aruba to... Huh, what? I'm trying to survive the last few days before Christmas Break and to keep the kiddos busy enough that the time flies by for them.

If I were asked to describe how heaven might look like, I would totally say that it looks like this picture. I see that your Monday was amazing, and I am so loving that you had time to meet with friends and catch up. It is fabulous to find some time to amuse ourselves with close friends. As for me I had a nice Monday, worked out early and returned home. I also did some household chores, and took a nap, my body really needed it. Hope you have a good night Dianne! :)

I’ve been sitting outside for only 10 minutes at a clip. I must take it in small doses until I build up a bit of a tan. It’s so strong that I get sun poisoning. Not a pretty sight.
