My answer to Black Friday :-)

Hope everyone enjoyed their thanksgiving. Food, family, and friends. A perfect way to spend the day. Sitting on Maho bay beach is my perfect Black Friday.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving. We're spending some time on St. John and loving the down time, which was way over due.

Happy thanksgiving! Cheers!

One year Anniversary

I just realized we had our one year anniversary of living in our current place.  And we still love it! Signing a new lease for another year and, who knows, maybe longer :-)  I re-read our posts from last November when we were moving in and how excited we were. Well, a year later, we are still that excited about living here. Love the view, love the size and condition of the condo, love our landlords, love how quiet and peaceful it is, no dogs barking, no loud trucks or stereos, just can't say enough great things about it. The staff and people living there are always friendly, waving to people doing their morning walks around the complex, and the security guards you see everyday coming and going. It's been a real treat and I have to thank our landlords for the opportunity. :-)

I also love how the second bedroom and bath are set up perfect for guests. We've had a few over the past year, and this coming January and February we have a lot coming and I can't wait. We were hoping to have some friends over the Christmas/New Year's holiday but that didn't work out. Too much going on for them right now to make the trip. :-( So we have an empty bedroom for the holiday if anyone is interested lol

Today is the last work day before the Thanksgiving holiday. We are heading over to St. John to spend some time with some friends. We were hoping to go visit some other friends that are over on Tortolla but we just couldn't get all our schedules to work out. But they're having a blast and that's all that matters. They will be back in February for the Redneck's in the Caribbean annual trek. So we'll definitely get to see them then.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!

Friday Beach Pic

TGIF! Soooo glad it's the weekend. Haven't been to the beach or been on the boat in forever so I'm hoping to fix that problem this weekend. This pic was taken last month at Sandy Spit when we took some friends out on the boat and went over to the BVI's. I love making that trip (minus the paperwork of course, but you already know that).

Lots going on this Saturday for the Family Resource Center. Cost-U-Less will be collecting food donations, Zumbathon at 6:30 pm at Yacht Haven Grande, and Motown theme dinner/dance at Fat Turtle. So try to make it out to one of the events to support this worthy cause.

There is a paypal account set up to donate if you are interested:

Have a great weekend everyone!

Getting back into the groove

Trying to get back into the groove of things. Back to work, back to Zumba, back to Jenny, back to day to day routine. Lots of visitors coming over the next few months, so that will be fun and the weather has been nice since I've been back, so that definitely helps. :-) 

RIP Dad

RIP Dad, originally uploaded by captainjay.

Just wanted to share some sad news and explain why there hasn't been any posts for awhile. My dad passed away last Thursday unexpectedly from a heart attack. I flew back to the states for his funeral and to be with family. It's been a very sad week and haven't felt up to posting anything. I've had a few comments wanting to know what's up so I thought I'd share the news. So please forgive the lack of posts while I use this time to grieve. RIP dad. :-(
