Celebration!

OK, so the picture and the title of the post don't match, but this is the best I can do until I get some pictures of my own.

All is joy in our little Puerto Rican household today because my papi is out of the hospital! Yeiii!! Other than having a lion-like mane of white hair (very Beethoven, as my mom says), he's doing remarkably well for a man who had major surgery a week ago. Even his fantastic surgeon is impressed with my papi's survival abilities (and I think so is my papi, to tell the truth).

Meanwhile, back home, my husband is putting up with the 25-degree weather in Ohio (while it's 82 degrees and partly cloudy here), with the constantly feuding cats, with Geni's gourmand attitude toward her own poop, and with the ever pesky and increasingly more brazen squirrels.

In this latest squirrel-related adventure, my husband found our small, red bird feeder, empty and discarded in the courtyard of our apartment complex where he caught this photo shortly after a squirrel abandoned her post, sitting near the absconded bird feeder. Those squirrels are something else, I tell you.

We don't have squirrels in Puerto Rico, but we have changos and oodles of pigeons and I hope to regale you with some photos of the bluest of skies and the puffiest of white clouds as soon as I can.

Today, all is celebration and joy in our little Puerto Rican household. ¡Bienvenido a casa papito!
