Week 8

Dan left Thanksgiving day and two of my boys arrived the next day. The weather has not been very cooperative since the boys arrived and Christian is going home tomorrow.

We have gone to a couple of beaches and the aquarium. When we went to John Smith's Bay a man ran out into the ocean towards this strange looking rock. He swam to the rock, grabbed it and swam back to shore. He actually pulled in a 100 pound Rock Fish (watch for pictures).

One rainy day we went to Sears because we needed a new TV and decided to purchase a washer and dryer too. We brought the TV home and once the new order of washers come in we will go back and buy a washer and dryer. The salesman was hopeful they would be in tomorrow, hope so because it is almost time to do laundry again. It will be so nice to not have to go to the laundromat anymore.

Yesterday we had another hurricane 100 NM off the coast of Bermuda. There was lots of wind and rain, our tank is probably full again. People keep telling me Bermuda is due to be hit and I just keep praying for them to pass by us. I have been told that winter storms are worse than hurricanes. I will let you know once that happens lol.

Today the boys and I went to the Dockyards. We walked through the shops and went to Snorkel Beach. There were two ships in today. When we took the ferry we had entertainment on the ferry. First time this has ever happened. The gentleman was playing the steel drum, yes I took a picture.We walked down Front Street too.

Poor Christian only had a couple of nice days this trip but he did manage to get his school work done. We are supposed to have sunshine for the next couple of days and then rain off and on for the weekend. Summer is over in Bermuda.

Adam is going to help us with the our mini golf stall at the school bizarre. Not sure if he will want to help out the entire time because we are there from 10 to 10 for both days. I hope we win the first prize - a new car! Adam still has over two weeks here and we plan on taking him to some more beaches.

Saturday we Skyped the family for my mom's birthday party. It was great seeing my mom, Dan, Debbie, Laurie, Joyce, Andrea, Daleney, Tessa, Evan and Carter. Missed the boys who were playing video games in Dan's basement. We also Skyped Ang on Sunday. She has my dogs so well trained now. Monday we Skyped with Josh and Alycia. Found out Josh was in emergency because of suspected kidney stones. I still don't know if it was stones or something else because he changed the subject. He said he did want his mommy but called for Adam instead. He didn't want to worry me because he knew I would have taken the first plane home.

It has been great having my boys here and in a few short weeks we will all be together in Disney World for five glorious days! The kids will be there for a week but Tony only has a five day break.

Hope everyone is well, miss you all!

    Hi Tony and Leanne,
    We have been watching the Hurricane Sandy stuff on TV and were happy to hear it sort of by-passed Bermuda. We've enjoyed reading your blog and thinking of warmer climes. Richard read it was 27C there currently so it's hard to feel sorry for you guys and your "winter" coming.
    Richard misses Tony lots at hockey and wonders where Christian is?? He is tired of being the oldest guy there although he would be anyways even if Tony was playing (but I guess he wants some senior company).
    How did your bazaar do? I'm guessing you didn't win the car or we would have heard. How do the boys fly there? (besides by plane) Airline? Direct? Price?
    Have fun in Florida, hope the weather is good for you. By the way, we're not on Facebook so this is our means of keeping abreast of your activities so please keep this up (your blog).
    Just going out for a walk on the slippery sidewalks with our gloves and toques (and dog) Boo hoo.
    Take care,
    Judy and Richard
