What a great trip. It was awesome having Eddie and his new family down at the house for the past couple of weeks. They flew down to watch the house and enjoy the heat of the Caribbean (as opposed to the chill of Rhode Islane).
While here, the house turned into a home. Their 2 month old baby girl helped the place smell like baby powder and numerous ointments…the oven was kicking it at all times of the day…water was constantly boiling for either coffee, oatmeal or tea. Someone was cooking breakfast or cutting fruit. When the kitchen of a house has life, it feels like a home.
Eddie worked his ass off on our yard also. He planted new seed, helped set up a watering system, helped me organize where certain plants and trees should go and helped me understand the process of growing plants just a little bit more.
Cheers Eddie Thacker
Thanks for the help…it is greatly appreciated!

Stefan, that looks like a Guinness in there….
where in the hell did you get Guinness in PR?!?! I miss the infrequent dark beer to complement the lagers sold locally.
Robert:
I think a dark beer would have been the only other beverage I would have held up in honor of Eddie’s help…but this isn’t a dark beer. It is shade grown organic french roast whole bean coffee that was ground only moments after my water almost began to boil. After stewing in the french press for a few long minutes, it was transferred a pint glass. The press was rinsed and filled with sweetened and warmed half and half. I pulled the plunger up and down on the press until I had a nice creamy, sweet froth….then poured it on top of my coffee.
Eddie loves the black shiny oily coffee beans…and so do I. Yum, I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow morning.
Well, as long as I am still up….I sure wish I had a dark beer.
Dark beer and good coffee are two of the best things in life
There’s a microbrewery in Old San Juan with a rather good dark ale
When I can’t make it out there, I settle for Heineken Dark
[…] tomatoes that Eddie planted in the cool garden beds that he made, are starting to get big. So Stefan and I decided it […]
