The time has come to take another step in our journey. Should be a good time.
We are still ‘up in the air’ so to speak about what direction to take in our journey to move to Puerto Rico. It seems that we can take a safe path, a challenging path or somewhere in the middle. Its tough to make such decisions but it is a lot of fun too. Feeling alive.
Over the next week check back often for updates!
The view from the “house on the cliff“
We found some old gift cards that we had totally forgotten about as we were cleaning out some drawers (in anticipation of moving). One was for an icecream shop. We decided to get an ice cream cake (cause they are really good!). The lady at the counter asked us if we wanted anything written on it.
Well….Sure! Since you asked.
Have a Nice Life in Puerto Rico!
Now we just need some people to help us eat it…any takers? 🙂
We have been looking at all kinds of property listings and trying to imagine living at them. Its tough because pictures just don’t do anything justice. When I find a listing that I know we could afford and try to picture myself moving and living there….I get some mixed feelings. The only way I can describe it is that this is “life”. I am feeling life. I am not used to that.
I have spent most of my working life (10yrs) in front of a computer screen. I think it has screwed with my emotions/perceptions quite a bit. I’ve lived a comfortable life. When I think about moving to Puerto Rico I have no clue what so ever what it will be like and I am not used to that. Its exciting!
I am used to knowing what the weather will be, how long my drive will take, what my day will consist of, what I will eat for lunch/dinner, what time I’ll go to bed and what time it will all start again the next day. It must be what my dog’s life is like in some ways.
I got some pictures of a property that is for sale, here is one of them:
Sleeping off the side of a cliff scares the living crap out of me when I think about it. LoL It seems that a lot of places are built like this in PR. Something about it seems unsettling in my mind. I want to go inside and jump around to make sure its sturdy! A friend of mine brought this up to me when I sent him the picture. He lives the same life for the most part that I do so maybe we are just fraidy cats?
Greeley is an interesting place to live I’ll say that much. This time not interesting in a good way.
At the council meeting there was a large group that showed support for changing the ordinance in regards to backyard hens. A veterinarian, several well educated folks and basic hard working people. There were a few people who were against this change and they were against it for reasons of commercial scale operations, disease and one because she was allergic to feathers. One lady (this was the best one) was against it because chickens can be used to smuggle drugs. Yes once again, they are the root of all evil.
When it came time to vote the council members in support Mike Finn, Donna Sapienza and Sandy Elder provided the reasons for their support and I do appreciate that. The council members who voted no didn’t provide any rhyme or reason to their decision. They had no valid reason except that they didn’t agree with what I am doing in my backyard even if it has no effect on them. Since the vote was a tie, it didn’t pass.
I’m disappointed in our local governments ability to listen to the public and make a decision that empowers the individual.
