July !?

Mom with Erick, Jeremiah's oldest, who lives in NC with his mom and we see so rarely! But his other grandparents try to keep us in touch. Hope he got my letter.


July already? So where have I been? Let's see; June, Lief's birthday the 2nd, now 12, Susan's the 9th, still the girl I married 39 years ago, and Heather's the 16th, now 10. Not to mention all the doctors appointments and shopping loads for Mom, damn June was a busy month. Not to mention the closing on the property on St. Croix. Almost a month in delays on that, "island time" is the same East Caribbean or West Caribbean. Oh, Happy Independence Day!!!! Where ever you are!!! I remember the fireworks. Jude grilled ribs and Chris balled out a watermelon and soaked the balls in One Barrel, the finest rum in the world! And I ate a bunch of the balls. Others thought them a bit heavy, but I found them quite refreshing!! Yea, refreshing. thus I took no pictures, but the fireworks were COOL! The ribs were great too. Ok, that takes care of 5 weeks, and I remember 4 events, that's pretty good I guess.





Now we start the planning for the move to the VI. we will be taking Mom with us so that adds a whole 'nother dimension. We have in the past just sold everything and moved. This time we should have so interesting trials and tribulations. Got to love her, but she's 88 and insists on going with us. Ok, let the adventure begin. she is already balking at my insistence of only 20 outfits to go. that means 20 of everything; undies, socks, etc., "only 20? What will I wear?" something of that 20 I said. The kids will have a coat for when we come up if it's winter. "Only 20?" It's gonna be fun! Stay tuned.





Cheers to all, and eat them mangos before they rot!


Or at least soak 'em in rum an drink a lot.
