Addison Grace Bartley - our first grandchild. We do appreciate Jon & Eva for her, but she does favor her grandparents who live in CR right now! She was born in OK, May 11 at 8.5 lbs & 21 in. We have talked with her several times on the phone & I believe I heard her cry for Papaw & Nana, at least it was clear enough for us. We are very grateful God has allowed us to live long enough to see her. OK is very blessed now!

Inside the black gate; we are trying to spruce it up a bit with some flowers. Inside is a small living & dining complete with a galley kitchen (room for 1). On the back porch is my washer & dryer (the clothes are hung out because electricity is very expensive in CR). We have 2 bedrms & an office; also a full bath. We feel as if we are in a mansion, going from 1 room to all this. We could not be happier, except, maybe in OK!

For the last 6 months, we have lived with a Tico family in CR. We now have our own house & yes, that is razor wire on the top. It is very secure & safe. Beside of us is a daycare; in front is a Chinese restaurant; on the corner is a meat market where we get very fresh meat as needed. The veggies & fruit are delicioso. School is about a 7 minute walk. We leave at 6:30 in the morning to greet all the teachers & students coming in. Others join us & we are called the 'Sunshine Club'.
