Sunset on the Balcony at Our New Home Location

 We are truly enjoying the view of the ocean from the balcony at our new home. It goes for miles and miles, and occasionally we can watch one of our neighbors head out in their boat. We so need to get a boat soon, but until then, just lovin' the sunsets and snuggling with my wife.

Vengeful Cupid

 She was once an ordinary woman who lived an ordinary life with her cats. But one day, an extraordinary man came to visit and stole away her heart. Crushing it beneath his boot, he never suspected what he had done. She set out that night, her innocent visage had changed, a seductress they couldn't resist, and began to literally steal all the men's hearts she found that had broken that of another. Juggling them, she laughed with glee as she basked in her revenge.

And she often contemplated these things when resting quietly within the castle alcoves.
