A New Adventure

We started living at least part of the year in the tropics in 1992, but my love for it goes back to the time my grandparents retired to St. Petersburg, FL. I had never seen a palm tree before, or a hibiscus growing anywhere but in a pot on a summer patio up north. That is, until our family visited Grandpa and Grandma each Christmas.

Frankly, I was hooked then, but years passed by before we - my husband and I - made our own pilgrimage south.

With this, I jump into the blogosphere where I intend to write about my passion for living in the tropics. We started with vacations in the Caribbean - just why I'll tell you later - and even bought a house there. A volcano caused that to change. Now, we live in southwest Florida with our own palm trees and hibiscus.

I won't concentrate on just the tropics, though. Sometimes, I may write about the other loves of my life - the island of Montserrat in the Caribbean, creating art quilts, writing, travel, photograph and gardening zone 10 and 11.

I hope you'll visit often and comment about what you read.
