Welcome to our website

 I just started to change this site to a personal one. "What Happened?" is not very interesting, what will be happening is of interest to me and my Tica wife, and is of little interest to anyone else. My wife has been trying to talk me into leaving the USA and retiring to Costa Rica. Only one of her five children still live in CR, only 3 of 9 grandchildren are in CR, the remaining are in the USA (mostly Florida). All of her brothers and sisters still live in CR and always look forward to our visits. Her mother is at a stage in her life (ancient) where she needs assistance with her daily living. I think this is the main reason for her push to live in Costa Rica. As for me, I guess I am getting tired of the pressures at work, the long hours, and the very fast-paced life style I am currently living. Moving to CR and starting an Animal Rescue sounded pretty good at this point. here. 

Update: Moved to Costa Rica, lived there 3 1/2 years, moved back to US.  The wife was done with the Pura Vida! lifestyle.
