Alas vacations over

Ford and I will be heading back home today after a beautiful week in the sun with Ken and Donette. We have had a wonderful time and I am looking forward to getting home and going through the picture and sharing some of our most special moments with all of my friends who read this blog. To paraphrase Bob Hope Ken and Donette, THANKS for the Memories and we are anxiously looking forward to our next vacation with you. Photos to be added to this posting from home puter ....do ck back.

Last evening ~ last photo~

Casino Royale

Finding Casino brought thoughts of James
Bond. We found what we think is perhaps the best Casino on the entire Island of
St Maarten, St Martin, however,
no Casino anywhere compares to the Las Vegas Strip!

We play and enjoy many and never spend or gain much no matter where in the world we are. Just fun to be involved in all the high energy which generates excitement. Needless to say, people watching is always the best.

Have a few photos of Island Culture to share and many taken from the sail boat.
Sailing in one of my passions~ Sailing on the edge is the most fun, however, we only hit the high winds off the Florida Keys.

Aboard the large Catamaran here, we glide under power through the bite, out into the sea. There, we raise
the sails and turn into the wind. The silence of gliding through the deep blue water seems to demand respect of silence.
We drink our Rum Punch and let the wind take away all thoughts as it embraces our being and rushes past~ fanning out our hair.

White buildings sitting atop cliffs there on the shore are caught by cameras. We replenish our rum drinks and drift in peace. All is well with the world.

Ghost Writer

Ken is Ghost Writing my blog~ he is on the second white h0rse behind me in photo.
Having a blast in
St. Maarten. More photos to come. Today was more exploring the island and just back from sailing into the sunset.

June leads the way

On Saturday we had the most wonderful horseback ride through a French Nature Preserve which climaxed with a ride through the surf. It was one of the most pleasant horseback riding expieiriences I have ever had and would recommend it to anyone going to St. Maarten.

Lobster~Lobster~and One More Glass of Wine

O...French for WATER.
We went over to the French side of the island (St. Martin)
last evening for a lobster buffet which
was over the top.
Baked lobster, broiled lobster, stuffed lobster, shrimp galore, oyster on the half shell plus more dishes ~ we had no idea what they were, but in classic French style, were beautifully presented. Small warm French breads filled a large basket which was soon emptied. We caught on that people were taking them to enjoy with morning coffee. A great idea~ we followed suit and thus, this reporter is enjoying one as I write.
Hope all of you have a wonderful day.
Wish you could see all the sailboats that are in front of me right now.
Sounds of the pounding surf fill the air. I LOVE IT.

Another Morning in Paradise

Life is so hard here, the weather is a chilly 80+ and I cannot find any humidity. Ford and I are finding great pleasure sipping our morning coffee and looking out at the Bay.
