Pat ….. Thank you Pat for the nice remarks. In 2009 I went to the movie Julie and Julia with my wife. The movie was about a food blogger who wanted to cook all the recipes in Julia Childs cookbook and then blog about them. On the way out of the theater I told Carol I was going to write a blog. "About what?" she asked. "About my life," was my answer. Well, soon will be the beginning of my 8th year with a story almost every day. Fun experience. I taught school for 35 years, but not English. So, I may get a few extra commas where they shouldn't be or I may butcher the English language from time to time, but what the heck, I love writing about life and SXM and get many of my ideas on TTOL. Have met many TTOL members over the past years and enjoy talking with them. Would love to meet you sometime. I enjoy your posts as well and love the way you sign off!
Norm …. Sorry we missed you this year. Did celebrate your birthday with a big party by the pool at our villa above Orient. Had plenty of desserts. You would have loved them, especially the cake with the candles. Maybe next year.
Carol seems to be recovered, at least for now. I developed Plantar Fasciitis while in SXM and am now on a few days of steroids. It was very hard to walk on the beach. So …. I sat and watched everyone else walk.
Life goes on …. with plenty of time to think about our next trip which I will book in another week. And, I'm finding I have more and more stories to tell about life and traveling to our favorite islands, St. Martin being on the top of the list.
