A Beautiful Enchanted Island - Borinquen

                                                                                                                              

On 1493, Christopher Columbus discovered the island in his second voyage to the New World.  He found the island populated by as many as 50,000 Taino Indians. 

Tainos Indians called the island Boriken or Borinquen which means: "The great land of the valiant and noble lord" or "land of the great lords".  Today this word -used in various    modifications- is still popularly used to designate the people "Boricua" and island of Puerto Rico "Rich Port".

I Love Puerto Rico!

Its Beaches...

...And its ruins.

Life is fun at the Beach!

I am going to share with you

the lovely town I was raised, Moca.

Moca is known as "Bobbin Lace Capital".

It was founded in June 22, 1772

by Jose de Quinones.

This photo was taken from inside

the Catholic Church,

      My beloved grandmother and my         

 husband's grandmother used to practice 

this lovely tradition of "bobbin lace weaving"

 and my grandmother's oldest daughter still practicing, such a beautiful art; when I was a child I did use my "Mamita's mundillo", but only to play.   Oh! How I wish to know now "Bobbin Lace weaving the way "Mamita" used to created her gorgeous laces.   Do you think I should learn Bobbin Lace Weaving?

Moca has a few castles, and this one is

called Castillo Labadie or El Palacete Los Moreau

Next is the town I was born, Aguadilla.

It is known as The New Garden of the

Atlantic.  Aguadilla derives its name from a

name given by the Indians

"Guadilla" which means "Garden".

It was founded in 1775 by

Luis de Cordova.

In the fullness of time

a life's journey ends,

But Love once shared

Continues to live.

And beyond this day...

that Love prevails.

We miss you Papa,  very much!

My Dad's favorite Bible verse was:

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd;

I have everything I need.

He lets me rest in fields of green grass

and leads me to quiet pools of fresh water.

He gives me new strength.

He guides me in the right paths,

as he has promised.

Even if I go through the deepest darkness,

I will not be afraid, Lord,

for you are with me.

Your shepherd's rod and staff protect me.

You prepare a banquet for me,

where all my enemies can see me;

you welcome me as an honored guest

and fill my cup to the brim.

I know that your goodness and love will be

with me all my life;

and your house will be my home as long as

I live.

Amen

Wishing to all the Fathers a Happy

and Blessed Father's Day!

With Lots of Love,
