“GO FARTHER,ME…
WELL YOU HAVE GONE AND DONE IT AND NOW YOU HAVE MADE WORK OUT OF VACATION AND RETIREMENT …. YOU ARE WRITING A BOOK FOR PEOPLE IN THE AFTER LIFE OF RETIREMENT! HA! I LOVE IT!!!! IT LOOKS WONDERFUL. YOU ALL HAVE TO TAKE US BACK TO SPAIN AND SEE ALL THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS LIKE THE CHURCHES AND EVERYTHING!!!!!
LOVE YOU ALL!!!
HAVE FUN… AS i CAN SEE THAT YOU ARE!
LOVE YOU BOTH,
KEN AND PAULA
Yes, absolutely. You know, here is our daily schedule, rise when ready–can be noon–usually before 10. Eat lunch at 2-3 and dinner from 8-10. Out and about from 1-7, depending on what we want to do, sometimes out till midnight and up till 2am. We found stores yesterday that are “yours”–we both said, this is for Paula! One jewelry store is all Spanish hand made and the artists only make 50 of any one piece–reasonably priced. Kathy wrote about the Zara store right around the corner of our apartment–this is the new fashion place for women–Spanish, but Princess Kate buys at a new branch in London. Sales, sales, sales on everything–the Spanish economy is not good at all. We made a big mistake in bringing anything with us to Spain–we could have bought here better and cheaper and it would have been fun just finding European things, that somehow are different than what we can buy. We have tickets to the Seville symphony this Thursday night for Schubert, Mozart, Saint-Saens and Ravel. I think a number of folks would like to come back to Spain. Anyway, we miss y’all, but are having a magnificent time. Btw, I use the iPad mini for most pictures. It is amazing.
Sounds like your schedule is a great one and I so wish I was free and available to do the same thing. It looks like a really hard day of work having fun!!!! It sounds WONDERFUL!!!!! i LOVE IT.
Look forward to more blogging and more fun pictures to share with us. Blessings on your day…Paula and Ken
Hi, Paula & Ken! Yes, there is so much for which to be thankful. Tonight is the symphony. Every day is filled with wonders. Blessings on your day! Kathy
