I'm Back

I should have told you I'd be silent for a while because I was going on vacation. Actually, what I usually do is compose my posts in advance and let them roll out while I'm gone. Between the lightning damage, work deadlines and old people who keep falling (but are okay), I barely got myself packed and out of here.

I unplugged absolutely everything before I left so no lightning damage. The only adventure was that the sheriff's department called Saintly Brother to tell him that one of our doors was unlocked and he had to come over to check out things.

Bless the sheriff. Bless Saintly Brother. Saintly Brother said he didn't think the door had ever been locked....

We have seven exterior doors. This is what happens when you build your own house and the local building supply place lets you buy their display doors (gorgeous) for practically nothing. We have doors where we were supposed to have windows. Trouble is, we forget to lock them all. Oops!

We went to St. Maarten/St. Martin and had a wonderful, restful time.

The indoor cat can't get enough of me now. How she missed me! I love being loved.

I'll be posting photos and stories later. Paul ate curried goat. I think that is just wrong. We had goats as pets when I was little. You don't eat pets, though chevre and feta are sublime.

Paul's suitcase still hasn't arrived, we have no food in the house (other than cat food), I need to pick up the horses and I'll download photos, etc. later.

Travel is a great pleasure. So is getting home!

Welcome back! glad you had a good vacation.

Just catching up on your blog (was too busy lately haven't had the chance to visit around). Like the gun post :) for self defense.

I've heard that goat is quite good, though we deal with dairy goats and folks don't tend to make stew out of them.

Glad you're back!

Welcome back. I'll be looking forward to more stories about the trip. Friends and I are looking for someplace to go over Thanksgiving, but plane tickets are just too high right now to decide on a destination.
