He has everything from jewelry to paintings to photography in the gallery. Here are a few pictures of items in his gallery I have captured. I hope I am not breaking any copyright laws!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sorry I have not been blogging latel</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">y but I just haven't had a whole lot to contribute to the prompts so I decided to take a break. So as you can see above we are to share pictures of paintings, or art, etc in our house and other areas. I don't think I will have anything for Tuesday that is recent but I have some pictures in my archives I can use.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here is today's picture. These are some handmade objects that are sold locally here by men to come right up to the car windows. They say they have made them here locally and one guy will even show you some old cuss/scars on his fingers he said he got from making them but since I have been offered so many that look exactly alike from different people, I figure they really came from China or someplace! LOL! The figure on the left is a Manatee or Sea Cow and the other is a turtle. Sorry this is not a better picture.</span><br />

I have been under the weather and am just starting to get my energy and appetite back. We had several days of heavy rains and grey skies but now we are back to our normal beautiful weather. So, for those of you already experiencing cool, dreary days I thought I would share my weather with you. We have moved to a different house. It is smaller and not on the water but we have our own swimming pool which I prefer. So please enjoy my pictures.</span><br />

I really can't say much about seasons and changes here. The weather stays pretty constant except we have been having more rain. Other than that, it is blue skies and warm temperatures. I will be glad to read everyone else's views and look at your pictures though!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I like some activity but now I am limited because of my knees. It was a different story when I was younger. We have taken cruises where we have climbed Dunn's River Falls in Jamaica (which is not easy to do), we hiked back to the falls in Dominica, and back on ship, spent every night in the disco dancing. Unfortunately, those days are gone for me now so I find relaxing with a good book just as fulfilling. Here are a few pictures of the last really active things I have done.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With the boys at Gatorland.</span><br />

The house we left had issues that we overlooked because we were blinded by the beautiful view. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The doors of that house were very hard to lock and unlock which was a major safety issue. We asked for the locks to be replaced but the landlord refused to spend the money necessary to do so. That was the deciding factor for us to move. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of our main objectives for moving to Belize was so we could live cheaper and save money. We were not doing that. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This new house </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">is not as expensive. It is a typical Belizean house in a typical Belizean neighborhood which is where we had wanted to live from the beginning. It is a small, two bedroom, one bath house but....we have a small swimming pool! I love it here as it is more homey and cozy. Since it is smaller, we can run the air conditioning as well so I am much more comfortable in this heat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, where as my travels did not take me too far from what we now consider our home, my pictures will be of around town. If I have already used some of these, I'm sorry for repeating. I take pictures to put on my Facebook page as well.</span><br />

We think that for the money it is the best way to go. I do have to say though that we had a terrible time when we took a cruise on Costa Cruise Line. The ship was beautiful but the service was so terrible and the food, ugh, not even good, including the Italian food. Costa is an Italian cruise line owned by Carnival Corporation. They own most of the cruise lines out there now (most run out of the US) except for Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Regent, Seabourne, and Norwegian. I heard they are trying to buy Princess Cruise Lines as well but I don't know if that has happened. They advertise themselves as the largest cruise company in the world, and I guess they are. Anyway, we took a seven day Caribbean cruise on the Costa Atlantica and I can honestly say it was the worse trip we have ever taken (and we have taken a LOT of cruises).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How bad was it you ask? So bad I didn't even take any pictures! Here are some pictures I found online. Like I said, it was a beautiful ship but I will never cruise with them again. All the beauty in the world doesn't make up for the poor service we received.</span><br />

We took a two week Mediterranean </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">cruise that included Greece (this is the cruise we met Lynne and Peter on). Hubby is really into history and I am really into Greek food. LOL! We loved just about every place we went on that trip including Turkey, Croatia and Venice but for me, Greece was the dream come true! We want to travel to the UK next. Maybe this next year????</span></div>

Some of them will be from my archives and some are recent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thursday - Sunrise</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am seldom up that early since I am not a morning person. It seems like daylight arrives so early here. By 5:00 a.m. the sun is up so I am using an archive picture I have of a sunrise (not here unfortunately) and one I cannot take credit for. A friend who is a marvelous photographer took this one in Tampa (thank you Bob).</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2d2X_csb0xs/U--IUDmXNOI/AAAAAAAACjg/l5cDY8E_cfg/s1600/IMG_4381.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2d2X_csb0xs/U--IUDmXNOI/AAAAAAAACjg/l5cDY8E_cfg/s1600/IMG_4381.JPG" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Friday - Sunset</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Again, I cannot honestly say I have seen a pretty sunset here. I just don't think we are in the right location for that so I will use an archived picture I took where we used to live in Orlando.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4SQc5dobcFA/Unwd_spErJI/AAAAAAAAA-w/1VPUug8F0Og/s1600/IMG_2675.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4SQc5dobcFA/Unwd_spErJI/AAAAAAAAA-w/1VPUug8F0Og/s1600/IMG_2675.JPG" height="320" width="238" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Saturday - Through the trees</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I took this one a couple of weeks ago because I thought it was a pretty shot.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-x08EtlDQQ00/U6dzrxBpxzI/AAAAAAAACP8/ktZvcjRWul0/s1600/IMG_4099.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-x08EtlDQQ00/U6dzrxBpxzI/AAAAAAAACP8/ktZvcjRWul0/s1600/IMG_4099.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sunday - Over the horizon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm not quite sure what this one is supposed to be. Here is a picture of what I think it means. This is a moon shot I took of a full moon we were having. Not sure if it qualifies as over the horizon, but I liked it.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sunday - Sea and Land</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That is an easy one for me.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Monday is blue skies, Tuesday is cute clouds, and Wednesday, is grey threatening skies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is Monday (and KathiJo, you are right, we don't have much of anything but blue skies).</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZuuVx3IkIrk/U86mjkwcqJI/AAAAAAAACe4/RO5vH60kKU8/s1600/IMG_4241.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZuuVx3IkIrk/U86mjkwcqJI/AAAAAAAACe4/RO5vH60kKU8/s1600/IMG_4241.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As for cute clouds, I wouldn't consider this one cute but I thought it was very interesting.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-f3MF4otU46k/U-mOiLUnOyI/AAAAAAAACis/BxSTGhj04hk/s1600/IMG_4364.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-f3MF4otU46k/U-mOiLUnOyI/AAAAAAAACis/BxSTGhj04hk/s1600/IMG_4364.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Even though the sky may not look very grey, it really was (that is grey not blue). In fact, it clouded up and stayed cloudy all day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I guess this is what happens in third world countries! Oh well. I am afraid all I can offer are a few pictures I have of my dad when he was in the military. They are old but not 100 years old.</span><br />

I like bright colors so most of my clothing (even my pajamas) are what some people would say are "loud"! LOL</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-82MZogKLI2I/U91YnkiNXRI/AAAAAAAAChc/jqHi6kIF2nA/s1600/IMG_4351.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-82MZogKLI2I/U91YnkiNXRI/AAAAAAAAChc/jqHi6kIF2nA/s1600/IMG_4351.JPG" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Friday is all about sun and shade. We have lots of sun. It has been very hot here with high humidity so it can be pretty bad. Most days though, if you can find shade, there is a nice breeze. The top picture is of a bush shading the ground from the sun and the second picture is of the tile patio in back of the house with the shade starting to overtake the sunny part as the sun moves during the day. By late afternoon the patio is all in shade. But boy, when the sun is hitting it, do not walk out there barefooted or you will burn your feet!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Saturday we were to take a picture of children playing in the sun. I caught these kiddies playing at the edge of the water (we were in town). We don't see too many little ones out where we live.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sunday the picture is to be of water. We have plenty of that here. I took this one when we were in town earlier this week because the water was just so pretty that day.</span><br />

<b><i><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></b>
<b><i><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's a few ideas:</span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></b>
<b><i><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Monday.... Summer shopping</span></i></b><br />

<b><i><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hope you enjoy it...</span></i></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just about every day is like summer shopping here but these are some pictures I took around town yesterday.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Monday - This is where we buy most of our meats except for chicken. We get that at Caribbean chicken (the picture I took there did not come out very well). Frank's is a true butcher shop. They cut everything up right there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tuesday - This is the market (just one stall and the vendor we like to deal with, Sylvia). The market itself is huge. We get all of our fruits and vegetables here.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<i><b><span style="color: blue;">Can you believe we are on our third season.. January was Winter, April was Spring and here we are in Summer! I hope you are enjoying this gorgeous spell of proper English Summer (or summer wherever else you are!)</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b></i>
<i><b><span style="color: blue;">This Season's Views : Summer</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b></i>
<i><b><span style="color: blue;">You can have a lazy week and just post one view for the whole week if you wish, but try and take a view you used back in Week 5, Winter.. or Week 17 Spring.</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b></i>
<i><b><span style="color: blue;">... but if you want to join in every day, or some days then here's a few ideas..(you can mix these up if you like as maybe you need to think about some of them over a couple of days)</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b></i>
<i><b><span style="color: blue;">Monday ... Garden View or Through the Window</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="color: blue;">Tuesday ... This season's favourite meal</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="color: blue;">Wednesday ... Sky View</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="color: blue;">Thursday ... Family or friends</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="color: blue;">Friday ... This season's favourite outfit</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="color: blue;">Saturday ... View of a frequently visited place</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="color: blue;">Sunday (...bear with me on this one..) Feet first.. show us your feet / shoes in this season's setting! (apologies for that one, it came from one of my creative thinking design colleagues!) Hopefully we may get snow / sand and autumn leaves but who knows!</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b></i>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think I will do the whole week because I am not sure I will have time later on. So here goes:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Monday - Garden View or Through a Window: Here is a picture back from winter at our house in Orlando, and a view from our window now. Quite a difference huh?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tuesday - Seasons favorite meal: Hands down it has to be breakfast at Miss June's. With the big pieces of fresh fruit, she has the best breakfast in town!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wednesday - Sky View: The sky is so blue here and most days there are few, if any clouds. At night, the stars look close enough to touch! Neither of my cameras do justice at night but I did take a picture of a full moon a few weeks ago that didn't come out too badly.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I was growing up, if we were going to take a long trip we would always sing to help pass the time. It would usually be songs like, "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" and things like that but we also sang a song called "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall". So, I thought it would be fitting to put a picture of 99 bottles of beer on the wall along with some of the lyrics (which were really just repetitive).</span></div>

Is three a crowd? Not necessarily. I am falling back on a couple of recent pictures I have of. who else?, the boys! LOL! These were taken in Tennessee over the Fourth of July where my daughter's stepmom (Kim, who is also a friend) is from and they have a family reunion every year at this time. The first one is Corey (my SIL) with the boys and the black and white one is the boys meeting up with their cousin Knox (about the same age as Henry) for the first time this year. You see Spencer watching their every move.</span><br />

I tried researching on the internet anything special that happened 50 years ago today but believe it or not, nothing much occurred on July 15, 1964! So I decided to take a picture of a Belizean Fifty Dollar bill and 50 Mexican Pesos.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The exchange rate for the Belizean money is 2 to 1 (US) and the Pesos, approximately 12 to 1 (US). The Peso rate changes all of the time.</span><br />

Here is what KathiJo gave us:</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Thinking of half way points, maybe we should play around with Numbers this week..in a very flexible way ! </i></b></span><b style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>You can pretty much choose the pictures you like but try and match them to the daily prompt!</i></b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Here's some daily prompts, absolutely free to choose the subject so long as it links to the number:</i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Monday... two / twin (two peas in a pod or twin girls maybe?)</i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Tuesday ... fifty (years ago or pennies?)</i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Wednesday... ten ( fingers or toes or any ten you like!)</i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Thursday ... three (is a crowd?)</i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Friday ... seven (days a week or little dwarves?)</i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Saturday ... One ( a lonely one or the only one?)</i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Sunday ... 99! </i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Living where we are we don't see a lot of people unless we go into town which we do not do every day. So for today (Monday), I will have to rely on pictures I have of the boys and believe me, they are like two peas in a pod! Not twins, but only 15 months apart, and Spencer learns everything from big brother Henry! So, let's see what I can come up with.</span><br />

I don't know where all my time goes because I really don't do a whole lot but before I know it, the day is gone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our challenge this week for Lucky 7's in 2014 is "Through the Looking Glass" with a different prompt for each day of the week. Here are mine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Monday - Through the kitchen window. I actually have two sets of windows now in the kitchen so I took a picture of both views. Most all of the houses here have what they call 'burglar bars' so you can see them in my pictures.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tuesday - Through the bedroom window.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can see our avocado tree in this one even though the view is not much different from the kitchen views.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a picture from the bathroom mirror that reflects the shower wall.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thursday - Looking in a shop window.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was in my archives. It is bread sitting in the window cooling at the Ynot Bakery in town. They make the best bread and bakery items and they are much healthier than what you can buy in the stores (that have been imported). They use less sugar and more natural ingredients. And, everything is so inexpensive!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Friday - Not what it seems</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We did some driving around yesterday and decided to go to an area called Cerros Sands. The picture I am showing you is not really what it seems, no bridge to cross the water. Well, there isn't a bridge but there is a hand cranked "ferry" that takes you and your car across.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Saturday - Something interesting seen through a window. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is not a picture of anything I saw but a recent picture of Spencer in a tower in Knoxville, Tennessee looking a lots of interesting things!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sunday - Window or mirror view on a holiday.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Again, I go to my archives for this one. I know I have used this picture before but I just love it and couldn't resist. I was actually on my balcony on a cruise but that is like a big picture window! We were sailing close to the Greek Isles.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wednesday - The back of a Landmark - You don't see too many landmarks here in Corozal so I went to my archives and chose a picture of the fort I took while we were in Dubrovnik. The inside of the fort is quite different.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thursday - The back of a flower</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is the back of a hisbiscus in our yard. It was quite breezy when I took it so I had a hard time because it wouldn't hold still. LOL</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Friday - The back side of a sign. Again, there are very few signs in Corozal. Only a few stop signs. No traffic lights whatsoever! Makes for interesting driving. Anyway, here is the back side of a stop sign.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Saturday - The back of your journey. Since I haven't been feeling well I haven't been too many places (went to the doctor yesterday) and I haven't felt like messing much with photos. But, I did take this picture yesterday on our way home of a cemetery. It isn't necessarily a 'back view' but we did have to back up the car so I could take it. LOL</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And for Sunday, it is our choice so I chose one of my favorite pictures of Spencer that is a back. It looks like he has on a "super power" cape on but it is just his tee shirt.</span><br />
