Ah, something we’re lacking in the Abacos – hills!
And if you don’t find anyone to go to the opera with you, give my mother-in-law a call – she loves opera! 🙂

On Jost, they call them “Nature’s Stairmaster” and it is so true. I am hoping I’ll be able to do the amazingly hilly back trail around the island on my next visit. Hope? Nope/ I WILL be able to do it! Would your MIL come down from Sidney to join me at the opera? 🙂

Yeah, she probably would. She’s 94 and still driving and still doesn’t need glasses to drive. Unless she is swimming that day. She says she’s 94 because she swims. I think she became a swim instructor at 65…

I’ve never been. If you go, please share the details. I would love to try it some day!

So difficult to decide which ones to open and which ones to close! My life feels very muddled.

I understand, Munira. I wish you peace as you waltz through the eternal process of sorting things out.

Fresh flowers always do. I’m going to write about that soon.
