Welcome

Hi, my name is Victoria Grace Avara (Vickie for short) and welcome to my blog. This blog was written while I was stationed in Barbados for 4 years from 2008-2012. I would just write things down whenever I had the time. I would write about my experiences with living in a new country and a different culture. Please forgive my grammatical errors, but enjoy these posts that I wrote during this time. My husband and I dearly love the Island of Barbados and we hope to someday retire to this little island that we called home for 4 short and wonderful years of our life. I hope that you enjoy reading this blog.

Sincerely, Vickie Avara

Bittersweet

13 days until we leave Barbados.  This is my second give away.  It is called "Crown of Thorns."  This was my favorite of all my veranda plants.  I hope to get another one of these when we settle in Texas.  I had one last farewell last night at our place with Devron and Annette.  They are the proud new owners of this plant.  We played for the 1st time the card game called Canasta.  Had a blast.  You see a different side to a person when you start playing them in cards - Annette, you have a very competing side to you, girl!  Wish we had started doing that before last night.

Had a lady hug me today in my gym class.  This is so bitter - leaving my friends and home for the past 3 years.  It is also sweet that I am returning to friends and family in the states.  Bittersweet!
