Miss Cleo

Stopped by a friend's house this morning to visit & see her new kitty, Cleo.She is adorable!

She has one tiny patch of white on her chest ( you can just see it in this photo) and she loves to play.  Adopted from a shelter...she's about 3 years old...quite different from my 16 yr. old--it was fun to play with a kitten!

Macro Monday

Surveying His Domain

Another look at all the snow!( Photo taken 3/9/11)    Rafe likes to go sit outside & look over "his" property!  And then bark at any intruder ( real or imagined)!

And an update on Rafe--I'm happy to report he climbed the stairs to the 2nd floor in the barn & in the house over the weekend...hasn't done that in a few months...we're glad he's feeling better & better!

Just Uncovered...Finally!

The snow has finally melted around these beautiful snowdrops! 

Thought I'd add this photo so you could see there still is lots of snow around--the place  where it was plowed, the snow banks are probably 5-6 feet tall!

Bobo's

Decided I should get back to my Isla photos...probably because it's been so gloomy & rainy here that I just want to look at sunshine!  One of the 1st nights we were on Isla we went to Bobo's & the meal was great!

It's on Matomoras right across from Olivia & Capt. Tony's.  A  small place with a few stools inside & a couple of tables on the street, but everything could easily be packed to go.

Brian is the very personable owner!  We had burgers and fish & chips this time & went back later in the trip for more!

Even the kitties along the street are drawn in --I'm sure the smell of fish cooking brings them from all around!

Wordless Wednesday

Old Friends & New + Isla=Priceless!

We usually go to Isla approximately the same time every year because of the Barracuda Bash--this year was no exception.  We were also lucky enough to have our trip coincide with some friends wedding.  The wedding was held on the pier behind Velasquez restaurant and lots of us got our photo taken when the sun was setting.  Thought I'd share a few with you

All of these couples live in MA or CT( within 1 hr or so of us) & with the exception of one, we have met them all on Isla!  Above, Kathy & Rick--he was the winner of the Barracuda Bash this year.

Alan & me--don't have very many photos of myself, so this was nice!

Our friends, Lou & Deb.  We introduced them to Isla last year & they loved it & came back again this year.  Deb & I both had Hortensia make us dresses to wear to the wedding!

New friends Kris & Jon--those of you that frequent the MyIsla board here's a little story.  Jon posted back in Dec. or Jan. that he'd been to Isla 20 years ago & was going back  in Jan  ( he's capeguy).  Someone posted back about where did he live etc.( Mr Limpet )  Turns out they knew each other, having worked together on the Cape in HS!  Small world--they both were on Isla at the same time in Jan & caught up!

And the happy couple --Steve & Rosie
