Left to right: Rhea (the manicurist/pedicurist); Liz (San Diego via New York), met her at the New Year's Eve dinner, husband Carl, just bought a lot and planning on building. (She so reminds me of a celebrity, but it hasn't come to me yet - update: Paula Prentiss); Tita, Panamanian/American, husband was military, she was a teacher; Vivivan, organizer/also painting instructor. Met her at the New Year's Eve dinner. She is quite a character. Very interesting. And of course, Pam. There was a lot of talk about how prices have gone up; the laws regarding marriage and property; how to treat "the help," meaning how to be generous without being taken advantage of - fine line. Also sharing of histories and stories of personal journeys. I will go back - if Pam goes that is; she's my ride. :)
