Grenada was such a beautiful place - this was our view from our balcony

I thought this was amusing - the guy never looked twice at the cow running the other direction

I thank the Lord for the blessing of the last 9 years. I am still getting to know this man - that is what happens when you marry a Mr. Steady :)

Looking forward to getting to know him more in the next 9 years. I could say I hope they are exciting times - but the last 9 years have been SO exciting I think I will say - I hope they are calm, restful times :)

I Love You Sweetheart!
