Our Time in Vanuatu

It is so nice to have this beautiful view outside when inside... It feels a little chaotic because some patio doors are being replaced.  The mission home was built around 1984.  A few areas are showing the house's age and slowly things are being replaced.  Of course the patio doors are not the same make and model and a few adjustments were needed.  They had to cut the ciment in the door openings to fit the new doors.  I covered the furniture and it did help a lot.
