Said goodbye to our fluke 70 degree Feb weather here n Indiana. It's long gone. Back to reality with light snow and 27 degree temps this morning. Yee frigg'n Haw!
Joy sent this picture to me this morning as her and Bill were beginning their last full day on island:
I also got this next one today attached to a text. She ask if I could guess where she was at. Can you? I got it right on my first try.

A far cry from 27 degrees for sure. Of course later on I got another reminder of what we are missing this year:
yeah...it's killing us.
I also got this next one today attached to a text. She ask if I could guess where she was at. Can you? I got it right on my first try.
I'll give you the answer later into the post.
Like I mentioned, there's a new gas station on Vieques. Well...it's more like a reborn gas station. Years ago it was one and now it's back. As your going into Isabell, just past the intersection of 997 on your right you see this:
Here's Bill fueling up:
And here's a picture of the inside courtesy of Dave.
Very spacious and uncluttered by Vieques standards.
Dave had sent me some pictures of him and one of his sons, Silas, at the Gallery Galleon. Silas was taking a landscape painting class. The life experiences Dave and Andrea have given their boys during their annual 1 month stay on Vieques are priceless.
Dave said it best. His words were "I can think of no other way I would rather be spending the day." I have to say I agree with that and this particular activity resonates with me. I too, dabble in painting. Can you guess what beach I've tried to capture here?
Dave also took Silas to a dance workshop earlier this month on Vieques. Silas got high marks with his flipping tricks and made new friends:
Like I said, Dave and Andrea and the boys are amazing people. And speaking of amazing, check out this new signage that has sprung up all over Vieques:
Damn...now that's pretty hip for Vieques...don't ya think!
I would get photos in slugs from Joy. She would send bursts of shots her and Bill were taking during the day. Some of the pictures are just gorgeous.
Bill and Joy say goodbye to Vieques tomorrow. This was their last evening on island. I can't thank them enough for letting me live vicariously with them these last two weeks. Oh...I almost forgot...the photo where Joy ask me where she was, is from Al's on the Atlantic side. I wish them safe travels back home.
A goodbye Lorrie and I made today is from Cape Air. They are now charging for checked bags. $20 per bag. This would ad $80 round trip for us with our usual commuter book purchase. This November we are flying our of SIG (island Grande) on VAL. It is the same price as the old commuter book tickets prices from Cape Air. Only caveat is we need to downsize our luggage. VAL has a 50lb max including carry on. So I will be blogging via my phone this next trip. No laptop.
Lastly, and on a much sombre note, the world said goodbye to Bill Paxton today. I personally loved watching that man act. In tribute to him, Lorrie and I watched Twister this evening and I've got Aliens playing while I'm working on this post. An amazing career by what everyone in the business called a really nice guy. You always rooted for Bill no matter who he was playing. He was 61. It might be game over Bill, but you will be watched for years to come.

All we know about mortgage . But getting a mortgage is not easy and and paying the mortgage is tough at the time. So while getting a mortgage one should well understand the policies and conditions the lenders have and it is better to seek help from mortgage brokers.
