Some flowers from a walk around St Pete and a succulent from the same walk

I guess this is representative of why I bought our home and makes me smile? It has many original features and had a nice warmth to it. I had to track down this toilet and sink and the legs (there was a plain white toilet before and cheap particle board vanity that was water damaged). I got lucky there was the original tile under the vanity. I need to finish decorating and puting up my hall mack accessories in here. There is still a long way to go, lots of undoing remuddling around the house, and work in the other bathrooms and kitchen (they need full renos because of the layouts).

These kiddos make us so happy. Oldest DGD who was home from grad school with great nieces and great nephew at our house for Christmas Eve breakfast. We had lots of celebrating over the holidays with family members and enjoyed every minute.

A local man in Costa Rica was explaining to our driver how to drive across a stream! This saved us 2 hours getting to our next town.
