Had a great visit with the boys! Adam didn't have a lot of time in the sun because Hurricane Sandy was off the cost. We spent our time catching up and he taught me how to find my favourite TV shows on the internet. Unfortunately he introduced me to Breaking Bad, I have 2 episodes left to watch and I will be caught up.
Adam did help us with the Mini Gulf stall at the school bazaar. No, we did not win the car but we did finally get our washer and dryer. I am sure my landlord thinks I am completely crazy because I did my happy dance when they arrived. I did four loads of laundry in 2 days. We also bought a big garbage can which is a big deal for me because it means no more ants in the garbage!!!!!
The day after Adam left Jim and Zoria MacDonald arrived for 8 days. We have hit some beaches, shopped and tried out some new pubs. Zoria and I had lunch at a pub in St. George on Saturday and our table was out looking over the ocean. We kept hearing some splashing in the water but couldn't see anything. We did notice some little minnows in the water but nothing else. Our server asked if we would like to feed the fish and of course we said yes. OMG you should have seen the fish! Naturally I didn't have my camera but we plan to go again before they leave. When we threw bread into the water the fish came to us. We saw a variety of small colourful fish, Brills (they are long thin fish that have a trumpet shaped nose) and these large disc shaped fish that were silver with a large black circle on their tales. The large fish actually jumped out of the water to eat the bread, they were our splashing noise. We watched them for over an hour.
The weather has been great since they arrived. Sorry everyone but we have had 24-26 degrees Celsius with humidity running 59-70%. There is another storm approaching from the south but they predict it will stay off our coast and head to New Jersey again. Thank God it is only a storm and not another hurricane.
Today we took a taxi tour and found some beautiful spots to take visitors to. We discovered a spot where you could see some beautiful fish in the water. Jim went back later and discovered some caves that you can swim in. He will share his pictures and I will post them later.
Tony and I booked Jim a tee time for his 70th birthday (Nov. 10) tomorrow so Zoria and I are going shopping again. The plan is to start in St. George and finish in Hamilton. Wednesday I am taking them to the Crystal Caves in the morning and we will end our day at the beach.
They leave Thursday morning and we leave Friday morning to meet the boys and Alycia in Orlando.
Sorry, I will try to write my blogs once a month to let you know what is happening. After Christmas things will quiet down over here. At this point our next visitors might be Josh and Alycia if they come in the spring. The Wakefords may come during the Easter break.
I will put more pictures on Facebook. Take care everyone and I miss you all very much!
