Rain

I dont know if it will ever stop raining. There does not look like an end. Most days have been overcast with some passing showers. I have actually worn pants and a sweat shirt to school. Here is a photo from one of the rainy days.

Ball

Here is an article about the softball and tball programs that the kids are participating in. Practice was cancelled for the next few days. Hopefully we will get the 1st game in on Saturday. It rained about 8 inches today and everything is wet. There is a prety good chance it will rain on and off all week. We really needed the rain. Our cistern was low, the pool was low, and everything is very brown.

Boat

Could this be the one?

Mail

About a week ago a small plane carrying mail to St. Thomas caught on fire. Here is a letter we received on Friday. It has a bit of water damage. I hope my People Magazine was not on that plane. Here is the full story.

Classic

Our landlord had our air condition installed in the main room today. We came home from the beach and it was running. I ran into town for bread. When I came back Jay informed me that it only worked for a bit. It seems the condenser does not work on this one either. The a/c in the kids room does not work either. It is the condenser. So do you think it was that they just sat doing nothing but getting rained on for months, actually a year plus, that made them not work? Jay says its not that, its just that they are cheap.

Friday

It is Friday. No School for us. It is Carnivale time on St.Thomas. Today is the childrens parade. I have no desire to go over there for the parade so the kids and I are headed to our favorite place, Maho!

We dont have much planned for the weekend. Getting together with some friends for dinner, KATS, church, beach. Just your average weekend. Next weekend is opening day for Tball and Softball. The kids are really looking forward to it.

A special friend

I was sitting at the kitchen couter last night reading my high quality literature. Yes I am addicted to the Twilight series. I need help. Anyway, who should come wandering in our kitchen window...yep you guessed it a rat. I yelled, ran to the couch, both kids hopped up onto the couch too. By the time Jay walked over to the kitchen window the rat "crawled out the hole on the left". Quinn was watching. Time to get in touch with Terminix again.
