Words on Youth and Retiring in St Croix - 02/21/10 05:06 PM

T0 all of you folks out there thinking about retirement - and considering Island living - here are some wise words that may touch your heart.... I know they did mine! This was written by Samuel Ullman, and it's called "Youth."
****
"Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means the temperamental predominance of … (1 comments)

Chance Encounter with Dolphins by St Croix - 02/09/10 07:26 PM
While all you folks up in the northeast are frozen in and shivering and shoveling, Chuck (significant other) and I took his boat to Buck Island Sunday, and on the way spotted a pod of dolphins.
We motored over to them and I jumped in (even forgot to take off my bathing suit cover-up) and one came up to check me out. She (I don't know if it really was a she or a he, but I'm thinking it was a she...) swam beside me and maintained eye contact with me for a long time.
We were perhaps three feet apart.  … (4 comments)

I'm a GRANDMOTHER!
Well - sort of... Henrietta (our chicken) had her peeps!!! Only two - but they are adorable! They went out on their first outing yesterday- and Henrietta really showed them the ropes! They scoured the yard for bugs and worms - and scared the cats!  What a wonderful life we have here on ST Croix!

St Croix, VI: Earliest Maps of Virgin Islands & Danish West Indies Now Available as Reproductions - 02/09/10 07:03 PM
This from an email received:
"We have exciting news that we know will be of interest to you.  For the first time in history, the earliest maps of the Virgin Islands are now available as archival-quality reproductions.  Most of these historical maps in their original form are beyond the reach of most persons due to their very high prices, others are simply unavailable because they are very rare and one-of-a-kind.  Most of the maps that we are making available to the general public, have the original estate / plantation names that survive to this day.  They are reasonably priced thus making … (0 comments)

Frederiksted, VI: Enjoy the Jasmine Manor - 02/06/10 03:55 PM
Chillin' in Frederiksted was never so good as last Tues., when Chris Kline and the Boulevards rocked the house at Jasmine Manor, a LOVELY old home in the historic district.  
These guys were terriffic!  Blues, rock, funk - and lots of original stuff.  Vicki Pederson, fellow Reator, massage therapist, friend, and owner of this lovely home - had teamed up with "Chicken Charlie" to bring in great musical acts every week.  Charlie prepares a great meal and 50 tickets are sold - (and generally all of them are...at only $25 each) - and we sit outside at candlelit tables and enjoy … (0 comments)

St Croix - Our Future could be Yours - 02/03/10 06:43 PM
I attended the chamber of commerce meeting this morning, where our new slate of officers were officially recognized and the old "retiring" board was thanked for their service.
Then, our distinguished and well-spoken governor talked about the TONS of things his administration has done.
I left with such a good feeling about this wonderful island that we live on. There are so many really good people here - and our Governor, John deJongh, is certainly one of them - who are working diligently to make this island as good as it can be.
It makes me proud to live here and … (0 comments)
