Yep, I’m a big U2 fan. And yep, we signed the U2 Wall in Dublin. If you look closely at my then 7 year old son’s facial expression, he was rather horrified that his normally law-abiding parents were writing on a wall. Why post this? U2 were guests on Jimmy Fallon’s first show last night, and were fairly awesome. 🙂 Whatever kind of music you like, crank it up and enjoy a song right now. It will help your mood, I promise.

When you are in the Caribbean, sun protection is crucial. The sun is warm and beautiful and relaxing, but can also pack quite a punch on your skin. So the weathered palm branch huts, the sheltering trees along the edges of the soft white beaches, all provide that welcomed protection after swimming in the perfectly clear blue waters for a while.
When I was younger I used to see God’s guidelines as restrictions, laws, things that were no fun and not very loving. But with time, I now see that God’s guidelines are full of love, protection, mercy, and grace. Because He loves me, He wants me to be safe, to be protected. How wonderful. Like sitting under a big palm tree on a hot sunny beautiful day. Slainte, Lisa
Being 3 months old, being a puppy, having your whole world turn snowy overnight…Finnegan having an awesome day! Hope your day ahead is full of adventure and new things. Slainte, Lisa
Having scaled the snowy mountain, Finnegan holds fast, legs braced.
“I know that grass is down here somewhere!” Finnegan digs in vain.
Finnegan surrenders to the comforts of a warm couch and a nap.
Happy in Bray
….is this man. He’s been part of my life for so many years, great years. Today is anniversary #26, but we’ve been together since middle school. So many years, so many memories, so much love. Blessings abounding. Hold tightly to the ones you love; these ones are the best of life. Love, Lisa
Beautiful Anguilla
I much prefer this kind of storm to the one that’s coming our way tonight. This storm had warm winds, rain that cooled hot skin, and turbulent green-blue water. This other one, Pax, is supposedly going to have lots of cold white stuff that just keeps coming to the tune of 8-12 inches. And I know that I should have a good attitude, love whatever comes my way, but I’m just not there. So I’ll do my usual distraction technique and look at pictures like this, pretend, dream, and before I know it, Pax will be a memory. For those of you who love snow, my apologies. For those of you who are feeling like me, happy dreaming. 😉 Slainte, Lisa
