"Life On A Rock"

Well folks Kenny Chesney came out with a new song and I thought it would appropriate to share it with you. After you’re read the lyrics to Mr. Chesney’s song, take a look at my lyrics. Ya know what Kenny; I’m just livin’ life on a rock. 



 "Life On A Rock"


Some say we're the land of misfit toys,
An insane mix of girls and boys.
Nothing really changes, like a stretch of sand time forgot.

That's just livin', that's just livin'
That's just livin' life on a rock, yea.

Well you don't lose your lover, you just lose your turn.
Drivin' on the left side gotta be learned.
Happy hours from 3 to 6 but it never really stops.

That's just livin', that's just livin'
That's just livin' life on a rock, yea.

We got Rasta religions, and parrots and pigeons,
Mango and salt on a stick.
Life is a lime and from time to time,
I gotta go get my fix, yea

We roll with the flow, friends come and go
Usually by the edge of the dock.

That's just livin', that's just livin'
That's just livin' life on a rock, yea.
Oh, I love livin', I love livin'
I love livin' life on a rock, yea.

Life on a rock
Yea yea
Yea yea
I love livin'
Life on a rock


"My life on a Rock" 

Some say we're lucky to call this home
They’re the ones who use the travolocity gnome
Nothing Really Changes, boy I sure hope I’m not forgot.

That's just livin', that's just livin'
That's just livin' life on a rock, yea.

Well you might lose a tire, you might get burned
Drivin' on the left side gotta be learned.
Happy hours all day long, for a vet school spouse

That's just livin', that's just livin'
That's just livin' life on a rock, yea.

We got Rasta religions, centipedes and pigeons,
Mango and sugar cane sticks.
I’m just limin’, I’ve got nothing but time,
Gotta get my NC fix
 
Make mine a double, we stay out of trouble
Usually in the Library spot

That's just livin', that's just livin'
That's just livin' life on a rock, yea.
Oh, I’m tryin', I’m just tryin'
To live life on a rock, yea.

Life on a rock
Yea yea
Yea yea
I’m just tryin’
To live life on a rock

It took moving to St. Kitts...

It took moving to St. Kitts for me to accomplish, try, and experience several new things. Some of things are on my bucket list others...not so much. But hey! Life is an adventure so why not!


  • Jungle Ziplining. I mean did grow up with a zipline in the yard that my Daddy built but there weren't monkeys...
  • Scuba Diving. I have been scuba certified for open water and advanced open water since I was 17. I have only been diving in rock quarries since then. It only took moving to St. Kitts to finally take a dive in the big open ocean! 
  • I had my first Birthday over-seas! Oh and Andrew did too! 
  • I have never in my life seen so many rainbows. We see one almost every day!
  • Eaten mango...can't say I love it but I don't hate it. 
  • Hiked a dormant volcano...let alone any volcano. Like Jimmy Buffett said..I don't know where I'm gonna go when the volcano blows...definitely not Montserrat...
  • Hiked into a Bat Cave..though they are vegetarians still slightly creepy
  • Seen monkeys in the wild and not in the zoo or on the Discovery Channel
  • Driven on the left side of the road
  • Driven a right hand car
  • Changed a baby's diaper...make that two...
  • Paddled Boarded! So much fun! 
  • Duke has never lived aboard...he loves it here
  • Vacated a home due to a bug infestation...AHHHHH
  • I cook now...before I ordered take-out
  • Baked cookies from scratch...true story ask Andrew! 
  • Seen a Caribbean sunset 
  •  Watched the Olympic games from outside of the US 
  • Seen a whale...oh wait I haven't! I still look every day! 
  • Drank from a coconut...never again 
  • Eaten sushi...veggie only!
  • Witnessed dear friends get engaged...so blessed to have been a part of that day 
  • Been so sun burnt! 
  • Become enmeshed into another culture 
  • Seen a water spout

Best Buy? In St. Kitts? Really!

So St. Kitts has several stores, brands, or places that America has.
We even actually have a Best Buy, go figure!
Here are a few...Enjoy!


KFC - Kentucky Fried Chicken. I've never eaten there, but my friend, Alana, has and said the mac and cheese is actually good! 


$5 foot long?! How about a $14 foot long! NO THANKS


Pretty good. They've been known to run out of pepperonis though! 


Kay's Fine Jewelry! This place is legit! 


No hot hogs here! Just T's and mini-skirts! 


Time Square?! no just jewels and time....


DHL van. I'm not sure where the store is, but the van proves there is a store.....


Hertz car rental. And! A Honda and Land Rover place! So price! 


Best Buy! See told you! oh but wait, no electronics...just milk, bread, fruits, veggies, etc. 


Everyday Low Prices 


Sherwin Williams, the paint people. However, this is just a sign there is no Sherwin Williams store. 


IGA! My favorite place to buy our groceries. 


Church's Chicken - Brand Spankin' New!
