Trying Out Exercise Machines

October 24, 2020October 24, 2020 rdgringa Leave a comment Just a Story, Wowwee's

I always see interesting things going on around the Dominican Republic. Some things I do not understand at all, even when people try to explain it to me.

Ungrateful Hermit Crab

July 14, 2019July 15, 2019 rdgringa Leave a comment Just a Story, Wowwee's

Walking in the morning after the rain taking the dogs, Inteliperra and Buenagente, out for their morning romp. Crossing the street in front of my home was what I thought was a big fat strange looking spider. I got out the trusty ole camera and leaned in for a closer look and a picture. I […]
