Another week gone by and not much to tell. The weather has been so hit or miss that we have not been able to go out kayaking since the last post. I have read 5 books in the past 7 days, bout to go stir crazy. Then again even if the weather was sunny we have little to do on the island. Have not been snorkeling in several weeks now.

Chris is learning a new computer program, Sketch Up and how to play the guitar. Jerry, owner of Flamingo Bay, let him borrow a guitar and some lesson books. He spent 4 hours doing so on Sunday, it helps that there is a dvd to talk you through most of the scales.

We met some Californians last week, they come out about 3 times a year and have a very rustic house on the beach just down the road from here in Bains Town. They brought chocolate, which to my surprise I had actually kinda missed. Was nice to visit with people who can relate to being on the island and how long it takes to unwind, I think I am still in this 'unwind' phase since we have not been working on the property in over 3 weeks.

Not that I want to admit this....but we have actually had endure 3 different Nascar races....Jerry is a fan and well he has the only cable tv we can watch.....and football comes on so late here that we are not able to watch a full game. So Nascar nights, Kristy tends to drink to much, trying to make the time go faster.

We did buy our ticket for NYE to CO!!! I am SOOOOOO excited to see my sister and all our CO family. We will be there for 6 days! Now the other tix to TX.....have been kinda difficult to compile, and we have to send the info to someone else to purchase them and of course we have not heard back if they have done so. Fingers crossed that they can buy the ones we need and that we make all the connections.

Hope this next week will be filled with sunshine for more than a few hours.
