We made it to St Thomas yesterday. One couple flew home yesterday and the remaining 4 of us made our way here. We are renting a one-bedroom condo with a nice balcony overlooking the beach. They are individually owned but rented like a hotel. We arrived here in time to have lunch and swim in the pool for a couple of hours. Dinner at a beautiful Italian restaurant overlooking the water and other islands. Our friends are very familiar with the area as the wife's mother and stepfather lived here for 10 years.

Right now we are listening to a very loud large rooster announcing the morning. Good thing the bedroom is on the other side of the condo.

Today we chartered a small powerboat to poke around St John which is right across from here. Apparently it is very different than this island, and neither DH nor I have ever been there.

Home tomorrow and I have to admit I am looking forward to picking Justice up on Tuesday morning. He seems to have settled in there well though.

DD is still in the hospital but they may have her discharged later in the day to be called tomorrow with the schedule for the D&C. She is awaiting the doctor to find out the plan today. Her hemoglobin is still low but not as much so they may or may not give her another transfusion.

Have a superlative Sunday!

From yesterday's water taxi:

A news blackout once a week could be a very good idea these days.

Yes, Elise died shortly after my birthday. In fact she had a crisis in the middle of the night on my birthday and had to go on IV morphine. We thought we would lose her that day. A friend brought a birthday dinner to me at Elise's home that night. But 14 years prior to that DS arrived 2 days before my birthday. Five years later my mother died the day before my birthday. And 3 years ago DH and I got married on my birthday. Lots of March ups and downs.

Greetings all

The rain has finally let up. DH is off to the store so I get the tv control while my hair dries. Off to the gym in a bit and will paint/glue some art projects.

Liz what a great portrait of your group all in ecru! Great idea. Sending good thoughts on the anniversary of Elise's passing. It has been so kind of you to share her with us these years. Indeed she has the most winning of all smiles. Enjoy the last couple of days there. And we are all grateful that DD is finally getting some meaningful medical help. More good energy.

DD sounds like a news holiday is a good plan. Especially over the weekend. Better to have coffee and scones. Enjoy a the weekend. Nothing beats a full orchestra sound. Awesome.

Ann we so love your description of the music at the museum. What a great idea to pair the art and music of an era. Music does indeed soothe, stimulate and motivate. More please.

Paula yay for Omaha and the med match. Both teaching hospitals are excellent. The Med center is a world famous organ transplant center. Your SIL will get great training. Great town ( where I lived 25 years). Loads of culture and a vibrant downtown arts area.

Well my hair is almost dry so I had better get moving. Gym awaits.

The art/music combo sounds wonderful Ann! We need to do more cultural events!
