She rose from raw jungle on a sunny hillside, and for three decades Casa Deanna stood tall, a queen of palapas.  Her round vista of ocean and canyon grew to be framed by flowers and fruit trees.  Through the years, hundreds of happy travelers have lounged on twin sofas, hung happy in hammocks and basked in big sun.

Alas, time reflects as entropy in the material realm, and a few previously fine features were calling out for refreshment - which we completed this year.  The new back bedroom now offers a King-sized sleep and yet another sunbathing balcony. Twin sinks, bottle art and agates inlaid in cement surround the new bathroom throne.  Luxuriate in bed, shower outside in privacy, paint on the deck, or just enjoy a cool beverage overlooking the waterfall or ocean.

Entropy may rule materials, but human initiative overcomes entropy.  That’s the use of and reason for time.  With loving thanks to the Casa Isabel Faith & Charity Club, we are pleased to offer the new, improved Casa Jade - a deep face-lift for a grand old queen.
