Hello Lucy!  How wonderful to live in Puerto Rico! You'll have to tell us about it.

hi lucy...glad u joined us...i'm from ny...grew up in manhattan, upper east side...now live in upstate ny, some times i wonder why...miss the busy city at times..when i 1st moved up here from manhattan, i couldn't sleep, 2 quiet...i'd leave the boob tube on a cop show so i could hear a siren or an ambulance, fell rite 2 sleep...lol

Hi Lucy ... I joined the group same day as you. It really is wonderful to make new friends. I saw your pics, you and yours look very happy together. I've beat your nine yr. living arrangement though -- Jim and I have been playing house for twenty yrs. now. I ask him to marry me so when he passes (he's nine yrs. older than me) I'd get his SS. Am I bad or what ...

I've lived my whole life in OH, I'm a creature of habit.

I hope to share many thoughts with you and the rest of the Divas ... Karen

moving up for Lucy.

Yes, it was a vacation,34yrs. ago.

It was a great place to raise children.

Yes, I married a PR man, but meet him in New York.

Yes, I went back many times to visit.

Three of my children were born in PR and one in New York on a visit.

The grandchildren with me are from two of my kids.

I'm fluent with both of the languages.

Hi pumpkin sorry for answering so late, But I lived in Manhattan for 11years, my parents moved to PR and lived there for four yrs. then moved back to the State and lived in the Bronx for four yrs. Got married and moved to PR. And been here ever since. I'm from Ponce, but have been living in Ceiba for 29 yrs.

Angelbear, it is wonderful here is warm all the time. Beautiful beaches, lovely places to visit and the food oh so good.  I like it because I can go to sleep in peace at night something I couldn't do in New York. I'm not saying that is all so save because there are bad people every where you go but at least where I live is peaceful.

I know what you mean when I came to PR for the frist time to live I didn't know Jack about the langue.... Speak it or write it.

Hi Karen, Well Thank you we are very happy, I mean we have our ups and downs, but we do love each other very much. I.m way older then him, but thats not an problem thats the reason I didn't want to marry him but, he says he can not see himself with no one else so we got married. And he is the greatest granpapa to my granchildren sometimes I think they love him more than they love me LOL.  Karen you are not bad, I mean twenty Yrs!!!!!! you deserve the SS, my freind.  well, is nice to meet new friends.......

Lucy ... it's not the age thing that hurts relationships anyway, in my opinion its not being able to communicate with each other. Jim and I are both devorcee's from twenty year marriages, so we figured our loving each other was enough of a committment. I'm sure not everyone would agree with that but it's what works for us ...

Jim had five children with his X and I had two daughters with mine. Between us we have 13 grand's and 2 and 1/2 greats. Holidays are way cool for us, it's like a three ring circus -- temper tandrums and wrapping paper.

PR sounds so beeautiful.  Age doens't really mater when you love each other. My dh is 5 years older than I am.
