If you’ve been following this blog you’ll know that we referred to our goddaughter Jessia Oldwyn’s blog:  (www.jessicaoldwyn.blogspot.com/). 

Jessica and her parents live in Wenatchee, WA, which is a few hour drive to Seattle. Prior to Jesse going into the hospital her friend Laura gave the Oldwyn’s the gift of her house in Seattle near the hospital to live in for as long as they want and needed. Laura must really be a wonderful human being to be so loving and generous. Thank you Laura from us too.

We’ve never been to Laura’s house so we’re wondering what Laura’s house looks like. Does it have any resemblance to any homes in Bequia, West Indies? We hear it’s “lovely and perfect,” not a “Bug House Culture Pot”!

I doubt Laura’s would be funky like this. (But what a view of Admiralty Bay!)

Maybe Laura’s has many steps.                                      Maybe Laura has a Bequian parrot.

Maybe Laura has a boarded up crawl space.

Maybe Laura’s is like a lovely open-doored church.

I wonder if Laura’s has a purple water lily in a lilypad pond?

Perhaps Laura’s house has stone siding with boarded up basement windows.

Laura’s could be down a steep hill.

And Laura’s could be painted white, pink and turquoise.

Ah, maybe Laura’s is on a gorgeous Caribbean Sea like bay.

Does Laura’s have a bamboo fence?

Hey, I wonder if Laura’s CC&Rs allow her to have a rooster that crows at the break of dawn.

Could Laura’s be low-bank beach front?                           Or hidden behind palm trees?

I’ll bet Laura’s is very modern.

How can Jessica not Go-Mango living at Laura’s?

  As Jessica continues to heal, we madeway to Bequia (SVG-St.Vincent & the Grenadines). We anchored Moody Blues and Indigo and took a hike. So come on and join us at the the Seaturtle Sanctuary.

This is a green turtle. As you can see they are sweet. They eat sea grass and jellyfish. (This one’s for you Bon~Bon.)

This is a Hawksbill turtle.  By being kept in the santuary until 5 years of age, 25 more turtles (out of 100) survive.

The Hawksbill Turtle is to the left and the Green Turtle is to the right note their different faces.

This is a mean little Hawksbill Turtle attacking another baby Hawksbill Turtle. They eat meat!

The facility is large with a lot of pools. That’s Kathy, Greg,  (Indigo) & Gene talking with Brother King the creator.

The exterior of the facility at Park Beach.

Red-Legged Tortoises, land tortoises, live at the Seaturtle Santuary too.

Gorgeous isn’t she?

Information . . . Founded in 1995. Crabs, fish, and birds all eat the tiny little turtles before they can get big and defend. Turtles can live to be 200 years old if they can just make it to 5 years old and 40–60 pounds.

                                                                        NO #*^@!

Bequia is part of ST. VINCENT and The Grenadnines. We didn’t want to stop at St. Vincent because of thief issues along its leeward coast, so we continued on to Bequia to check into customs and immigration.

Even coming into the bay there was a lot to see on the water.

Waterfront businesses.

Classic wooden boat.

Very old house.

Street vendor.                                                       Rastamon & son.

See that: “except for Religious Processions.”

Truckin’ along.                                                      Fruit house.

Gingerbread hotel and restaurant.

Bequia Dive shop.

Lovely church.

Darling boy.                                                           Cute puppy.

Gorgeous, but what is it? Ginger?                  Pink and turquoise shutters.

Birds and flowers.

Fish in sea.

Love the pods.                                                       Whale bone seat.

Model boats.

Village.

Big old anchor.

Down with Q Flag, up with the St. Vincent & The Grenadine flag.              Pizza anyone?

We just got back to Moody Blues when the squall hit. Good timing . . .  or luck.
