hanging in there


not sure of my last post but without the net at home it's almost impossible to set and crank out a blog.

So much has gone on.

In June we had the Annual Cat Island Rake n Scrape festival that was way up north took us 1.5 hours to drive up there. Took lots of pics and will be posting them later this week.

The next day we left Cat and made our way to Charlotte, NC for a weeks vaca!! we went to ASheville for most the week, got to see my cousin Jaime, ate a ton of great food, lots of tasty brews and had a kickass good time!! Asheville is an awesome town in the mountains, will def be going back again. We made the treck over to Knoxville, TN for a night of PHISH!!! the venue was packed, it was the TN titans bball arena, such a great show. Then over to a diff place for some late night Pnuma trio. Saw a buddy photog from SF while there and got to chat for a drink.

It was the best to have a whole week to explore and just take it easy. On another note, we had found a puppy in our front yard the week before our NC trip. Some friends on CAt watched her for us, and we had to stock up on puppy suplies for the next 3 months. I have posted some pics of her on our Google Picassa page, we named her Zoe. She is growing so fast went from 5 pds to 15 in about 7 weeks.

Last week my dad and his wife Nancy came to Cat, they got here with no bags. however, we have the best group of friends here and in no time they had clothes, suits, and shower gear. The guys went out fishing on friday and the catching was slow but they came home with 2 or 3 tuna. We had a big dinner that night with lots of laughs.

Sat we cruised around the island, checking things out went out to the property beach and hung in the pool. Sunday was snorkle day and we made it to 3 diff spots, even found some sand dollars, hope they made it home ok. We had dinner at another friends house that night and got to watch a huge t-storm blow in, which my dad loves.

Monday we hung in the pool, snorkled off Flamingo Bay, hung in the ocean, then the pool. Then, Jerry brought down his infamous potent Rum Punch. I gave plenty of full warnings to DAnny bout how it sneaks up on ya and he paid no attention to warnings. After 4 or 5 cups, I forget, Danny was swimming in punch and conch fritters that he bailed on us at 8pm. That did not stop us from partying and hanging out till midnight. We went back to villa with Nancy, cooked dinner made cocktails using a blender, and played a card game called Pluck till almost 12pm, when Danny finally wakes up. Was too funny!! I even got some pics of him passed out in bed!

Things have gotten back to the same ole same ole. Work is picking up again, Zoe keeps us busy as always, altho she is sleeping till 9am!!! Been coming to Jerry's every afternoon to cool off in the pool, which is a MUST as its so hot at our house.

We are SUPPOSED to have our net equipment and modem at the dock this week, hope to have it hooked up very soon. I will be much better bout posts once I have time to sit.
